239 George Street (Brisbane)


Variously described as "239 George Street"; "MLC Centre" or "Hitachi Tower/Building" - the building - owned by the ING Property Trust. The building is principally rented as a series of barristers' chambers; though MLC, Hitachi and a number of law firms also retain residence in the building.

The ground floor is home to a Merlo coffee shop that has the heavy patronage of building tenants.

The building also boasts a weather beacon on its roof that gives the current and forecast weather. It is often criticised for highlighting "It's currently raining heavily" when that much is apparent.

A full description of the weather beacon is available from the website of one of the building's tenants: www.lexscripta.com/links/meteorology/mlc.html
