Mining giant BHP will relocate its Adelaide headquarters to a new $250 million office tower to Charters Hall Towers in the CBD next year.

BHP’s new 10-year lease covers 10,000sq m – more than 40 per cent of NLA – in a new state-of-the-art office building being developed by the Charter Hall Prime Office Fund.

The lease includes building naming rights that will see the BHP name light up Adelaide’s CBD skyline.

The 24,500sq m GPO Exchange project, located between King William Street and the Charter Hall-managed ATO building on Franklin Street, features 19 floors of A-Grade commercial office space.

Construction on the tower commenced last September after the Attorney-General’s Department committed to a 12-year lease for 50 per cent of the building. The tower is now more than 90 per cent leased.
