The building comprises a low rise office, a retail complex incorporating a series of laneways and a high rise commercial tower. The 51 storey structure is 190 m in height and 222 m to the top of the spire. Its main tenant was Ernst & Young until 2017.[2] The 51st floor is the headquarters for the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.
