Constructed during the 1960’s, the warehouse was originally used by General Motors Holden as a car assembly plant, and in 1985 was converted to warehouses  when Holden ceased operations in Queensland. Among the challenges for the project was the volume of asbestos which presented in over 50 kilometres of mastic asbestos windows, and sixteen kilometres of mastic contaminated concrete which resulted in a total of 32 kilometres of concrete cutting, in itself a major task on the job.
