A New Coastal Community Takes Form at Port Coogee
Read moreA New Coastal Community Takes Form at Port Coogee
With 50% of apartments sold prior to completion, boutique property company Match has opened its doors to Form by Match at Port Coogee with a top floor Display Apartment designed to help residents experience their potential new space.
Form by Match is a 50-apartment marina-side complex that has been mooted by some as one of the area’s most anticipated boutique apartment designs. It is the incarnation of one of Western Australia’s most reputed Architects, Geoff Warn of Donaldson & Warn, who worked in collaboration with Match to push the boundaries of apartment living in Perth.
Located just 50metres from Port Coogee Marina and adjacent to parkland, the property greets you with a striking façade that draws you inside, where you will find every apartment designed to make the most of the surrounds, including the majority being north facing with sweeping ocean views.
Match Director, Mr Dean Burrowes, said the property is a design statement and impressive on every level and he is thrilled that the project is now complete for people to experience the difference.
“We wanted to make a statement with Form by Match and move as far away as possible from the traditional apartment block,” he said.
“We encouraged Geoff Warn to look outside the square and create an environment that pushes the boundaries of balancing space, light and features. The result is outstanding and really needs to be explored to be fully appreciated.”
While the building exterior is bold, inside restraint is shown with clean, white and timeless interiors. It has been a conscious design decision to create a blank canvas for buyers to individualise with furniture and artwork.
“The building is based on a block formation that uses different materials to give the total development a definite sense of scale. The building’s exterior aims to speaks directly to an increasing demand for signature residences, as opposed to ‘cookie-cutter’ environments,” Mr Burrowes continued.
“Most apartments within the complex are north facing and many offer amazing ocean views. Features such as high ceilings and floor to ceiling glazing are incorporated to maximise the outlook and benefits of orientation. This also includes sheltered balconies with shade screens to make the most of the sea breeze in summer as well as create a sunroom sanctuary in winter.”
The property opens to an emerging community within the Port Coogee Marina Estate, with amenities such as a new Woolworths and Dome café at the doorstep, and Fremantle less than 10 minutes away.

MATCH Fremantle Energy Museum Development Continues

The completed restoration works by M/Group of the original S.E.C Building and former Western Power’s Energy Museum at the Fremantle Substation site in Parry Street, is another example of how M/Group has worked effectively with the City of Fremantle and State Heritage Council to support the integration of valuable heritage fabric into contemporary urban living.
The property, which sits adjacent to a boutique Match apartment development that overlooks parkland at its rear, has been released for sale under an Expression of Interest (EOI) campaign; opening the door for a range of potential uses.
Mr Lloyd Clark, Managing Director of M/Group, said the apartments on this site are already 35% sold, and the renewed heritage building will be on a separate green title. He said the opportunity to build a business on this site comes with inherent character and is surrounded by an established and new residential community.
“The planned apartment building, M/27 by Match, will be home to 40 boutique apartments and is due to commence construction in late 2018,” he said.
“The opportunity to take ownership of the building certainly opens the door for a ‘Bread in Common’ type food and beverage venue, although could as easily be adapted for boutique office space. The purpose of our work on this site is to, perhaps ironically, create new energy. It is a great opportunity for a potential proprietor in a great location.”
Match, which is part of M/Group, is the company behind the highly celebrated Heirloom by Match heritage renewal and is currently in the construction phase of the M/28 by Match boutique apartments in South Terrace.
The company prides itself on introducing design-focused apartment product that enhances the streetscape and activates living space in strategic locations.
The heritage works on the heritage building, undertaken by M/Group’s building division M/Construction, have included the restoration of existing brickwork, refurbishment of metal window frames and the restoration of existing large timber sliding doors.
The sale of the building is being managed by Knight Frank and more information can be obtained by contacting James Baker on 0418 912 007.

New Fremantle Apartments Bring Parkland to the Doorstep
Read moreNew Fremantle Apartments Bring Parkland to the Doorstep
Boutique apartment company, Match, has introduced a new project that offers a parkside location, with easy access to the energy of Fremantle.
M/27 by Match is located amidst the heritage precinct of Fremantle’s eastern corridor in Parry Street. It is a boutique apartment complex of just 40 one, two and three bedroom apartments on a site adjacent to parklands and surrounded by authentic heritage fabric.
Mr Lloyd Clark, Managing Director of M/Group, the parent company of Match, said the project brings lifestyle options to the doorstep of its residents in a classic Fremantle fashion.
“The opportunity to live in M/27 by Match is unique proposition for Fremantle. It is located beside parklands, which is rare in the booming City, but will also be a hub of activity when the remaining heritage building is given a new life as a boutique eatery and meeting place,” he said.
“This is a beautiful location set amongst an intensely character-filled environment. The north-east facing apartments offer views over the large reserve, and others overlook the heritage fabric and Fremantle vista. All within a short walk to the Port City’s famous cappuccino and entertainment strip.”
The M/27 by Match apartment project was designed by the award-winning Cameron Chisholm Nicol (CCN) Architects, the architectural talent behind Match’s neighbouring and highly celebrated Heirloom by Match rejuvenation of the Dalgety Wool Stores.
The apartment design has been consciously restrained to integrate into the environment. The apartments are neatly tucked in at the rear of the property and are accessible by a private landscaped laneway.
“Match jumped at another opportunity to create boutique apartments in Fremantle. It is an incredibly special place and requires a careful balance of modern and contemporary design to enhance what already exists in the streetscapes,” Mr Clark continued.
“The unique nature of the project represents limited supply and good capital potential in an environment that is earmarked for growth. These apartments will give residents the opportunity to live centrally in a quintessentially urbane environment, but also have direct access to open space in a private, boutique environment.”
Match is part of the M/Group of companies, an organisation that specialises in the identification and development of niche development opportunities across the State, and is responsible for helping to revitalise environments such as Mount Lawley, South Fremantle and Maylands.
The City of Fremantle has earmarked the project area as a key pathway for expansion into its eastern gateway. Fremantle is currently receiving a $1.3billion injection of public and private investment.
Apartments at M/27 by Match are priced from $390,000 for one-bedroom and from $490,000 for two-bedroom apartments and from $850,000 for 3 bedroom parkside apartments. Construction is being undertaken by M/Group’s building company, M/Construction, and is anticipated for completion late 2019.
