Australian property investor and developer, Cbus Property, this week announced it has acquired 280 Elizabeth Street, located in Brisbane’s CBD.

The 10-story site, also known as the Edison Exchange, is currently occupied by Australian telco Telstra, operating the site as a telephone exchange. The telco's lease on the site is set to end shortly.

Describing the 1,680 sqm (18,083 sq ft) freehold property as a “prime redevelopment site,” Cbus aims to build its third commercial office tower in the Queensland capital city.
