About 95 workers are finishing the structure’s concrete roof and next week will start adding the windows and coloured panels that will clad the building.

It has transformed Smollett Street, dwarfing the historic Carriageway building and St Patrick’s Church opposite.

Project manager for the Doma Group Nathan Smith said work on the seven-storey building for Le Hunte Properties was on target.

“We have to add the plant room on top, which will take the height to 33.6 metres,’’ Mr Smith said.

“When finished, we’ll have used 5700 cubic metres of concrete and about 380 tonnes of steel reinforcement.”

Doma Group completed the adjoining multideck car park last year but the $34 million tax office has now risen above the car park’s top floor, and is a little higher than the 30-metre war memorial.

Mr Smith said about 1200 people had worked on the Volt Lane redevelopment of Albury-born developer David Harper.

The office, designed by Canberra architectural practice May + Russell, has a basement and car park.

Its ground floor will be leased and five floors containing 10,000 square metres will be leased to the tax office.

“The tax staff will enjoy a great view of the mountains,” he said.

Staff are expected to move in October.

The federal government has allocated $19 million for desks and other furnishings for the 800 staff likely to work there at peak times.
