Riparian Plaza is a 53-storey skyscraper located in the central business district of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The building stands at 250 m (820 ft) in height to its communications spire and 200 m (660 ft) to its roof. It was Brisbane's tallest building until it was surpassed by Aurora in 2006 and is a particularly iconic building on the Brisbane skyline. It is a mixed use building, with 11 car park levels from the ground up, 25 commercial levels, and 12 residential levels originally housing 50 penthouse apartments. On top of the tower is a 50 m (160 ft) communications spire. A recreation centre including a swimming pool is located on 39th floor, between the commercial and residential sections. The carpark is accessed via a helical annexe. The tower has an open plaza and promenade space totaling 3,500 m2 (38,000 sq ft). The upper plaza level contains Madame Wu, an Asian Fusion restaurant. The building was developed by Bloomberg Incorporation Limited with a construction cost of A$130 million.

It is located at 71 Eagle Street, and was the last waterfront vacant block in the Brisbane CBD.

The building is owned by Industry Superannuation Property Trust, who bought the building for $385 million.At the time of its completion it was the tallest building in Brisbane, holding this title until Riparian Plaza's completion in 2005.Located next to Central Plaza One is a smaller version of the tower with a similar design, Central Plaza Two, which has a height of 110 m. In 2008, Central Plaza Three was built to 57 metres, completing the Central Plaza Complex. Central Plaza One has a unique window cleaning mechanism in which a section at the top of the building rotates, allowing for the suspension of outdoor window cleaners.Plush foyers, a striking facade and the integration of advanced technology systems have resulted in the structure being described as one of the most iconic in Australia.AAMI Insurance signs located outside and on top of the building as well as retail branch on the bottom floor had resulted in Central Plaza 1 being nicknamed the AAMI Building. However the centre has since gone under management by JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle) and now displays their signs on top and on the ground levels of Central Plaza 1.
