Kalgoorlie $140m Modular Workers Village Approved

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.

The boutique introduction of 16 exclusive beachside terrace homes is filling a gap for people looking to acquire full ownership of striking low-maintenance architecture within metres of the beach.

M/31 Terrace Homes by Match is located just 4km from Fremantle within Landcorp’s Shoreline coastal masterplan development at North Coogee.

The terrace homes are meticulously designed by award-winning architectural firm, Cameron Chisholm Nicol, and offer full ownership of both home and land title.

Mr Lloyd Clark, Managing Director of M/Group, parent company of Match, said the terrace home designs are in keeping with Landcorp’s vision to create an environment that delivers something distinctive for the emerging coastal market.

“M/31 Terrace Homes by Match draws inspiration from the surrounding native landscape, with Tuart and Sheoak trees, sand and limestone. However, each residence offers so much more than a stunning façade and interiors,” he said.

“When you acquire an M/31 Terrace Home by Match, you actually take full ownership of the entire beachside property. You can lock up and leave, or simply enjoy a great lifestyle living on the beach, just a short drive to Fremantle. It’s an emerging community environment that is stacked with capital growth potential.”

LandCorp’s new Shoreline precinct is a secure coastal environment with extensive parkland and landscaping. The terrace homes are centrally located within the precinct, and plans are in place for a beachside plaza with shops, cafés and restaurants.

The well-appointed three-bedroom terrace homes include open plan layouts that integrate indoor and outdoor living and offer complete customisation internally. Each home comes with, a double carport, access to a common ‘mews’ area, and is architecturally designed to maximise light, space and breeze.

Construction of the properties will be subject to a streamlined process involving the engagement of Match’s sister company M/Construction. This provides the owner with a high level of quality assurance throughout the building process backed by a strong track record and body of work that includes bespoke homes.

“Match is renowned for taking cues from the environment to develop properties people want to live in. Our internal development model ensures we delivery on this promise and that each residence is of the highest quality,” Mr Clark continued.

“M/31 Terrace Homes by Match introduces beautiful living spaces in a central and highly desirable location. The potential for growth in this coastal region cannot be understated, and the limited number of homes available make the proposition even more attractive.

The first release of just five lots of these three-bedroom M/31 Terrace Homes by Match are affordably priced from $585,000. Titles are scheduled to be issued in March 2018 with construction immediately following.

On Saturday 14 October at 11am, Leederville’s newest architectural icon and local tribute building will officially open in a ceremony led by the family and descendants of the original site owner, who built a soft drink empire and created a Western Australian legacy.

M/24 by Match in Carr Place Leederville is inspired by the site’s former occupant, Golden West Aerated Water Company, which was established around 1902 by Mr Jack James Wallis (known as J. J. Wallis) to produce soft drinks of various kinds, such as ginger beer, lemonade and kola beer.

The property is mixed-use development consisting of 39 residential apartments and four commercial units on the ground floor with a feature façade that was inspired by the building’s former use, and generated by the digital modelling of patterns formed when bubbles intersect. The dynamic patterns – known as ‘Voronoi’ tessellations – give the impression of a form bubbling out of the site.

M/Group Managing Director, Mr Lloyd Clark, said the unique concept and tribute to history has attracted a great deal of attention from the community and clearly indicates a thirst for edgy product that enhances the streetscape and tells a story.

“M/24 demonstrates that investing in good architect can pay dividends in a market that responds to unique product. The success of this project is more pronounced in an environment that is too often brimming with high density, cookie-cutter designs that do very little for the streetscape or potential capital growth,” he said.

“Community feedback and kudos for the project has been overwhelming, and we are so pleased with the standard of environment we are handing over to new owners.”

Designed by Melbourne Architectural firm and company behind Perth Arena, ARM Architecture, the property is creatively structured internally with two distinct living environments; one with an active street-front outlook and one that is more relaxed overlooking a linear communal area with views towards the city skyline.

Joining the official opening festivities will be J.J. Wallis’ grandson, 85-year old Hal Wallis, who spent some time working at the factory, together with great grandchildren Peter, Barb and Julie, who performed part time jobs under their father, Robert James Wallis, who served as the Production Manager until the mid 60s.

“Match started in the industry some 16 years ago with a vision to offer something ‘different’ to enhance the urban streetscapes and really embrace the inner-city lifestyle, and we have been providing great lifestyle opportunities to the market ever since,” Mr Clark continued.

“We consider M/24 is great success that will now take its place amongst a string of unique and interesting projects the company has had the honour of being part of. We sincerely hope the community enjoys their preview of what will undoubtedly become an icon.”

M/24 incorporates plaques and artworks that pay tribute to the original site use and owner. JJ Wallis died in 1919 after building the successful Golden West Aerated Water Company, which is reported to have taken steps to move from its previous premise in Fitzgerald Street to Carr Place (formerly Leeder Street) in 1902. By 1907 the factory was in full swing.

A number of apartments are still available and priced from $420,000. For more information visit m24apartments.com.
