The Advanced Technologies Centre was completed in early 2011 and was developed at a cost of $140 million.1

The building’s most interesting feature is its giant “spotted” concrete facade of its twin 10 storey towers which are dotted with portholes laid out in a geometrical pattern like an old fashioned dot matrix printer and its dominating three storey transparent glass street level podium which stands begging for attention in largely Victorian era streetscape.

SERO, also known as the “Wedge Building” due to the design approach to an unusually shaped site is a four storey office complex that was completed in October 2009.

It was built by private developer Les Smith1 on the former site of the Elgin Inn bottle shop and it features over 4,300sqm of office space.
