Mercedes-Benz Brisbane and John Holland have completed the final slab cement pour of the basement at the Mercedes-Benz Brisbane AUTOHAUS site on Breakfast Creek Rd.
The significance of this is that now this part of the build is complete, the AUTOHAUS will start to come out of the ground and take shape and is expected to be open late 2018.
