A development application for the project was lodged with the Brisbane City Council in October 2015.[1][2] The application has since been approved. The University of Queensland (UQ) appealed the decision, but the Planning & Environment Court dismissed it on all counts.[3][4]

Demolition of the former office building commenced in October 2017, with construction of the footings for the new building commencing in May 2018. A tower crane for construction was installed on 9–10 June 2018.

Construction was suspended in February 2022 when contractor Probuild went into administration.[5][6] Other Probuild projects such as West Side Place in Melbourne were also impacted.
