I worked once in one of these Service Road Boxes and never again. You're completely stuck there. One road in and out, makes QEW rush hour traffic a relief when you finally get off the Service Road. Forget about busses, walking, biking, even a car barely functions at lunch time. The air quality is worse then anywhere, the surrounding landscape makes your cubicle look like a slice of heaven. And if you ever work at night, or you're a female worker, it is scarier then anywhere on Barton Street or Gore Park for example. Remember the reason why Dalton Timmis left the HSBC building. I know they didn't go on the service road, but sited safety concerns for female workers.
