RECENTLY COMPLETED PROJECTS
AND SO IT BEGINS...
​
With a piece of paper and a few drawings…who would think that a few lines can translate into a project in the middle of a busy shopping centre, with a tenant still trading below, the impossible became possible.
Logistics, careful planning, town planners, daily engineer inspection to ensure surprises (in this busy shopping Centre) were promptly dealt with.. shows the experience of the team.
A single shop transformed into 5 x 2 storey loft apartments and an enlarged retail space became the goal. One can see from the photos how the simple sketches on a piece of paper became a reality.
One of many projects where the builder and developer worked together to create a masterpiece.
The building was sold in excess of 4.9m in one line.
157 CARLISLE STREET, BALACLAVA
THE FINER DETAILS
Five modern two-level apartments were built in 2016, providing an innovative combination of ‘old meets new’ with the contemporary rear extension seamlessly incorporated into the stunning classic building facade of the Carlisle Street frontage.
​
The apartments comprise of one, two-bedroom unit with a classic facade facing Carlisle Street, and four, on-bedroom units facing Woodstock Street. Given the extensive frontage to Woodstock Street and rear lane, all apartments enjoy high levels of natural light and feel a world away from the vibrant buzz of Carlisle Street. No expense has been spared ensuring privacy and comfort, with high quality windows ensuring no unwanted noise. The apartments enjoy their own secure and private entry with CCTV throughout the building, being a major appeal to tenants.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
​
The prime, newly developed and fully leased corner freehold investment, lies within the heart of Carlise Street's popular retail precinct, providing a ground level tenancy and five, two-storey apartments.
Each apartment is stylishly finished with modern fixtures and fittings, with heating and air conditioning on every floor. They feature private balconies, roof terraces, state-of-the-art kitchens and modern bathrooms on both floors.
The apartments have a highly functional design and embrace natural light through the clever placement of windows, skylights and high ceilings. In addition, the north-eastern orientation of the apartments and the open rooftop terraces ensure abundant levels of morning sunshine throughout.
991 GLEN HUNTLY ROAD
This project was purchased with an exisiting permit to enable quick plans and construction to begin. Interestingly, we found that the typical building of 2 and 1 bedroom apartments was not the way to progress. Customers wanted large downsize apartments of between 150-180sqm and thus we amended the plans to have a mix of 1,2 and 3 bedroom apartments with different layouts. This process, with the experienced team happened very quickly and design, planning and construction adapted to this changing market.
The building of 11 apartments turned into 7 and provided a better NSA (NLA) and therefore a better return on investment.
