Highett Common about to come out of the ground as early site works approach completion
Civil and infrastructure works at Sunkin Property Group's Highett Common are all but complete, signalling significant progress toward Victoria's first medium-density net zero community.
The advancements in the project's early stages will pave the way for the main works on site to continue to move forward.
The latest updates from the construction team highlight the installation of inground electrical infrastructure and street lighting to ensure Highett Common remains a connected community precinct and achieves the goal of an all-electric development.
Extensive work has also been undertaken on sub-base installation and access roads.
Additionally, basement works in the two apartment buildings of stage one are progressing, with wall concreting at 80 per cent completion and ongoing waterproofing at North Lane.
Construction work continued to advance following the project’s sod-turning ceremony in May.
In June, SK Construction made significant strides in the installation of precast columns and stair and lift shafts extending from the basements to the underside of the second levels, marking a further progression in the vertical construction of the building.

Highett Common, situated on a 9.3-hectare site, will eventually accommodate over 1,000 residents.
The first release, Park House, is already 70 per cent sold and features one, two, and three-bedroom residences designed by Clarke Hopkins Clarke Architects and Tract Landscape Architects.
The Highett development includes state-of-the-art amenities such as gyms, wellness areas, swimming pools and sun-drenched decks.
It also features a private dining room, indoor and outdoor lounge areas, and spaces dedicated to work, study, workshops, and community meetings, including a new public library.
Sunkin Property Group is expecting the first stage of the development to be complete by late 2025.
