The Newman government has struck a $562 million deal to sell the bulk of its office buildings in Brisbane’s CBD to pay down state debt.

The buildings, which account for about 7 per cent of all office space in Brisbane’s CBD, include the David Longland Building at 63 George Street, Education House at 54 Mary Street, the Primary Industries Building at 62-80 Ann Street and Mineral House at 41 George Street.

The $561.9 million deal, which the Opposition dubs a broken promise, also includes towers at 61 Mary Street, 111 George Street and 33 Charlotte Street.

The buildings will be sold to funds controlled by the state-owned Queensland Investment Corporation to pay down close to half a billion dollars in government debt.
