Since its construction in 1972, 160
Ann Street, Brisbane has had various owners.
In November 1995, Zurich Australia, part of the
Zurich Insurance Group, bought it for $41.75 million.[7] In 2005 it sold the building to
Precision Group[11] who, in 2006, transferred it to the Investa Property Group as part of a property swap.[12][13][9] Its present owners, CorVal Partners, acquired the building in 2012.[14][10][15]
In 2009 a study of the building was carried out as part of a Solar Hearting & Cooling Programme of the
International Energy Agency.[16][17] It was funded by the
Australian Research Council and "considered as a 'Critical Case' representing common physical and operational characteristics of typical high rise office buildings in Australia".[16][17]
