Recognising the need to improve building energy efficiency to;

• guard against building comparative obsolescence,
• enhance building tenant attraction, and
• protect asset values.

Challenger Life Company completed an energy retrofit project of Makerston House.

The property is a substantial commercial building comprising 13 storeys of commercial office of approximately 13,878m NLA plus additional storage of 300m; ground floor retail, approximately 750m and a 4.5 level car park having approximately 164 bays. Both vehicle and personnel access is from the Makerston street level.

The building was initially constructed in 1974 with refurbishments of plant and building completed in 1997 and 2000.
