THE BACKGROUND
Covering a vast expanse of land, Stage I and 2 Woolooware Bay sits on the old training western fields adjoining Shark Park, while Stages 3 and 4 are situated on the old Shark Leagues Club carpark on its eastern side. With northern water views over the Georges River and beyond to the city, the site benefits greatly from its beautiful location.
THE TASK
When the site launched in 2013, it was one of the largest mixed-use projects at the time, however, very few people came into the area to live in apartments. They traditionally considered apartment living as a compromise, and Woolooware Bay was at the more affordable, less desirable end of residential price-points.
As such, the buyer pool was shallow and very selective. We needed to turn the tide of opinion and take apartment living to enticing new heights.
THE CHALLENGE
In order to pre-empt any unforeseen circumstances, we needed to plan in detail upfront the most likely scenarios, with a plan in place to successfully navigate them through.
Instilling local support was also crucial. ‘The Shire’ locals love their Sharks, so revitalising the Leagues club was key, as was maintaining harmony by supporting the joint venture.
