A grand piano is featured in the southern end of the foyer and can usually be heard playing during the morning as office workers arrive at the building.

The building features views of the City, the Brisbane River and Story Bridge, and, from its upper floors, the islands of Moreton Bay.

Waterfront Place is only a short walk from stops of ferries (Eagle Street Pier), CityCats (Riverside), buses, and the City Botanic Gardens.

[1] In 1888 Naldham House, (part of the original Waterfront Place development, but subsequently sold in 1994), was built for the Australasian United Steam Navigation Company.

F. A. Pidgeon and Son purchased the part of the site owned by the Inchcape Group in 1982 with the intention of developing an office building in the future.

Following the 2007 incident, additional awnings were constructed across Felix Street to prevent falling window panes from landing on vehicles and pedestrians, and the marina in the Brisbane River has been dismantled.

Part of the equipment installed on the roof serves the communications needs of the Queensland State Emergency Service.

[citation needed] In December 1989 AMP Society purchased the Waterfront Place complex from the joint venture partners.

The architectural design outline of the tower is framed by matching elliptical curves with triangular projections in each of the east and west faces to create ten "corner" offices per typical floor.

The forty storey tower is of reinforced concrete construction and externally is clad in polished granite with double glazed solar tinted windows.

[1][6] In May 2011, the Australian Government Future Fund purchased a 50% stake in the property from the Stockland Direct Office Trust Number One.
