Charter Hall’s $450m office development in Adelaide is nearly fully leased six months ahead of completion after the property giant secured NAB as a third tenant for the building.

The bank will relocate from its long-standing city headquarters further north on King William St, joining Services Australia and Telstra in the tower, which is currently under construction at the former Southern Cross Arcade site.

NAB will occupy about 3700sq m of space across two levels of the 14-level building, at 60 King William St, down from more than 6000sq m in its current home.

Under a 10-year lease, it will also occupy a further 255sq m on the ground floor, at the King William St entrance to the King’s Lane retail mall which will link King William St with James Place.

NAB executive for enterprise operations Quentin Boyes said the move would provide an “outstanding workplace” for staff.

“60 King William presents a great opportunity for our people to collaborate in a flexible, state-of-the-art office with modern workspaces that are ideal for our hybrid workforce,” he said.

On that note regarding hybrid work, my colleagues at Services Australia have mentioned a rumour that 60 King William St will have only 100 desks allocated to our division, while our division is a lot more than 100 staff. No one is suggesting that the division will shrink, so people are concerned that we will be forced into hot-desking. In addition or in the alternative, some roles might become pure work from home or hybrid. Thus far, Services Australia has been very reluctant to allow work from home since the lockdowns ended.

Supposedly our division, which currently occupies several floors, will be consolidated into one. However, a very rough back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that each floor of 60 King William Street is literally ten times the area of my current floor.

Whats wrong with hot desking? Police don't get their own individual patrol vehicles, its not economical and a waste of tax payers money.
If your jobs can be done in a hybrid mix, then that's a good thing. Saves us taxpayers having to fund personalised work stations for every public sector worker.
Ive seen enough in the corporate world where people get upset over someone touching "their" chair lol.

Out of curiosity, are the majority of your teams roles fte or perm-part time?

Call me spoiled, but I and many people dislike hot-desking because changing desks is annoying. Everyone sets up their chair, monitors, PC settings, browser bookmarks etc differently. Ask any desk job worker if they mind hot desking, and the majority will say yes, they do mind. It's not the end of the world though. I don't have figures, but in our division about two thirds of staff are full-time, and the part-timers generally work at least three days per week.

Today we were informed of a tentative (and wide) window for moving in: 1 July to 30 September, 2023. Over the last few months just eyeballing the construction, I've been guessing September.

My last company was hot desking. All of the settings, bookmarks etc were in the Google profile. People would race to get away from computers they didn't want more than have a favourite. Funny things like "the sticky spacebar" etc. Dunno how your IT is setup or which products you use, but hot desking can be seemless with the right setup. You're not locked into all Microsoft by any chance?
