Suncorp has announced it will be the new major tenant for the AU$836mn (US$620m) Brisbane office tower, located at 80 Ann Street.

Mirvac, the Australian Stock Exchange-listed real estate company, secured Suncorp marking the largest leasing agreement in over a decade.

The finance and insurance firm located in the Queensland capital has committed to 39,600sqm of the building – around 66% of the lettable space – for a period of 10 years.
