I heard, from a friend, of a friend, of a friend, that each apartment is going to be car themed. If true, then i’ll be slappin my deposit down the Dodge Ram themed apartment. My new apartments motto will, ‘Use lots of space, poorly’…

    Element Advisory said the apartments were designed to incorporate the carpark’s existing columns and roofbeams into their internal layout.

    “The facade of the carpark structure is proposed to be largely retained, with architectural inserts proposed that complement its robust aesthetic…

    Meaning: enjoy the shitty internal and external design of your apartment, we have calculated that doing the work to make it aesthetically pleasing and functional would eat into our profits too much. That 12 storey office block above your apartment that we’re planning to lease out at 70 million bucks a year won’t build itself you know.

        Ghetto-esque more like it. I do like the fact that the lower floors will be mixed car parking and apartments, that sounds lovely.

    Big financier Perpetual owns the carpark through one of its trusts, and has submitted a development application to build one- and two-bedroom apartments on its four upper floors, then add a 12-storey office tower on top.

    Uhh that sounds like a bad idea.
