Central Plaza 1 is a skyscraper in the city of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, which was designed by renowned Japanese architect Kurokawa Kisho. The height of the tower is 174 m (571 ft) with 44 floors.<ref name=emp>Template:Usurped</ref>
Construction was completed in 1988 and it became synonymous with the Australian Bicentenary and World Expo 88. It is located at 345 Queen Street on the corner of Creek Street in the Brisbane central business district. The building is owned by Industry Superannuation Property Trust, who bought the building for A$385 million.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
At the time of its completion it was the tallest building in Brisbane, holding this title until Riparian Plaza's completion in 2005.<ref>Template:Usurped</ref>
Located next to Central Plaza 1 is Central Plaza 2, a smaller version of the tower with a similar design, which has a height of 110 m. In 2008, Central Plaza 3 was built, standing 57 metres tall, completing the Central Plaza Complex.
Central Plaza 1 has a unique window cleaning mechanism in which a section at the top of the building rotates, allowing for the suspension of outdoor window cleaners.<ref name=emp/>
Plush foyers, a striking facade and the integration of advanced technology systems have resulted in the structure being described as one of the most iconic in Australia.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
AAMI signs located outside and on top of the building as well as a customer service branch on the ground floor had resulted in Central Plaza 1 being nicknamed the AAMI Building. However, the complex has since come under the management by JLL and now displays their signs on top and on the ground levels of Central Plaza 1.
