Building History
In the late 1970s, a company called National Mutual Life Association of Australasia wanted a new building. They hired architects and engineers to design it. The building was designed in a modern style popular at the time.
When it was finished in 1980, it was named the National Mutual Centre. National Mutual moved their offices into the building.
Later, in 1999, another company called Axa took over the National Mutual Centre. They renamed it the Axa Australia Centre.
A few years after that, in 2002, Precision Group bought the building. They paid $44.65 million for it. Since then, it has been known as 144 Edward Street, Brisbane.
