Project overview
An early learning centre, four floors up.
Prime commercial buildings carry space that earns nothing — underutilised podium levels that are hard to let and easy to ignore. In a Brisbane CBD tower, MPG saw an early learning centre.
We transformed the fourth level of the eight-storey building into a 57-place centre — a vertically integrated, full turnkey delivery from concept to handover, completed in 2023 on time and on budget.
i.
The Challenge
A prime Brisbane CBD commercial building had underutilised podium-level space — floorspace earning little and difficult to put to use.
ii.
The Approach
MPG ran a comprehensive feasibility study and site analysis, then designed and integrated a 57-place early learning centre into the fourth level of the eight-storey building — a vertically integrated, full turnkey delivery from concept to handover, built with Nator Constructions.
iii.
The Outcome
Completed in 2023, on time and on budget. Previously underutilised space became a modern, safe and nurturing centre with easy access for working parents — and a meaningful lift in the building’s asset utilisation.
What sets it apart
Childcare, integrated into the city.
Four things that make this an unusual — and repeatable — model.
i.
Inner-City CBD Location
A 57-place centre in the heart of the Brisbane CBD, close to where parents work.
Result · Easy access for working parents
ii.
Vertically Integrated Design
A childcare centre designed into the fourth level of an existing eight-storey commercial building.
Result · Built into the tower
iii.
Full Turnkey Delivery
From concept to handover — feasibility, design, development and administration under one roof.
Result · Concept to handover
iv.
Enhanced Asset Utilisation
Previously underutilised podium space turned into an income-producing, community-serving use.
Result · Dead space activated

For building owners and developers
Underused floors? There may be a centre in them.
A Brisbane CBD tower had podium space earning little. MPG turned the fourth level into a 57-place early learning centre — concept to handover, on time and on budget. If you have underutilised commercial space, we will study whether childcare is the use that lifts it.
