IBM Australia and New Zealand managing director David La Rose says the new CBD office is close to key clients with neighbours such as Sydney’s Start-up Hub on York St.
“259 George St will become part of IBM’s global network of client centres and, together with the IBM Centre in St Leonards, supports our growth strategy and culture programs, helping retain and attract talent, and build skills to better serve the changing needs of our clients,” La Rose says.
JLL acted for IBM and Cushman & Wakefield represented the building owner, Memocorp Australia.
