Construction is expected to begin on WA’s first large-scale retail living project before the end of the year, after the appointment by Iris Residential of building giant Multiplex to deliver the $100 million Amara City Gardens in Booragoon.
The Agreement signed by the developer and the construction contractor this week is expected to see building works commence in the fourth quarter of this year.
Located on Davy Street near the corner of Marmion Street, and just 250 metres from Wireless Hill Park, Amara City Gardens will comprise 124 one, two and three-bedroom apartments – together with a range of premium resident facilities and amenities – adjoining Garden City Shopping Centre, and in the heart of what will become the new Melville City Centre precinct.
The development, which will also include five commercial tenancies, is located within walking distance of the Booragoon Bus Station and fitness and leisure facilities, and in close proximity to key schools, universities and health facilities.
Iris Residential Chief Operating Officer Tanya Trevisan said Amara City Gardens is a landmark project for Iris Residential.
“And we are very pleased to be working with a builder renowned for producing such high-quality outcomes.”
Multiplex Regional Managing Director Chris Palandri said the project is set to transform the Melville City Centre precinct and offer a uniquely connected and luxurious lifestyle for residents.
“We’re looking forward to commencing construction and delivering a high-quality development for both Iris Residential and its purchasers.”
Apartments at Amara City Gardens will be a mix of three-bedroom, two-bedroom and one-bedroom residences, with the majority being larger apartments featuring generous balconies, two bathrooms, two car bays and large kitchens, designed to suit owner-occupiers.
Those above level 7 will offer panoramic river views, and those above level 4 city skyline views.
Residents at Amara City Gardens will enjoy private amenities including a gymnasium and sauna, community garden, yoga and Tai Chi deck, sunset terrace and BBQ, wine storage cool room and wine tasting area, and residents’ lounge, dining room and caterer’s kitchen. They will also be able to make use of electric car charge bays and a car wash bay, and shopping trolley collection points for Garden City.
The development is expected to be completed in 2022.
