Riparian Plaza is a 53-storey skyscraper located in the central business district of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. At 200 m (660 ft) in height, it is the city’s second tallest building, after the Aurora Tower. It is a mixed use building, with 11 car park levels from the ground up, 25 commercial levels, and 12 residential levels originally housing 50 penthouse apartments.
On top of the tower is a 50 m (160 ft) communications spire, which does not count towards the official height of the building as only spires are recognized as part of the overall height. A recreation centre including a swimming pool is located on 39th floor, between the commercial and residential sections. The car park is accessed via a helical annex. The tower has an open plaza and promenade space totaling 3,500 m2 (38,000 sq ft). The upper plaza level contains the Siana Bar dining lounge.
The building was developed by Bloomberg Incorporation Limited with a construction cost of A$130 million. Bloomberg retained ownership of the 30,000m2 commercial component and sold off the residential apartments during construction. It is located 71 Eagle Street, and was the last waterfront vacant block in the Brisbane CBD. Provided the first, new, premium office space available in the Brisbane CBD for a decade. The building has a total floor area of approximately 55,000 square meters. Brisbane Square completed in 2006, was the next major office building constructed in Brisbane.
