‘Campus 15’ – Student Apartments, 15 Hawthorn Rd, Caulfield

DESCRIPTION

This adaptive reuse of a purpose built nursing home developed in the 1960’s. It had become redundant due to changing health regulations. Our client had purchased the site with a view to a new residential complex, however that proposal was unviable due to planning constraints on the site.

We proposed reuse of the site as student accommodation comprising 56 apartments. We negotiated a accommodation deal with Monash University nearby. Total project value $10mil.
