Motif Geelong apartments start construction
Construction has commenced at Geelong's newest apartment development.
Motif, a collection of Rothelowman-designed apartments by DM Property and joint venture partner Icon Kajima, is being delivered by regarded construction firm Hamilton Marino, their first apartment project on the Bellarine.
Piling work at 1 York Street has been completed and the bulk excavation phase is now underway. Hamilton Marino is currently digging out the basement to ready the ground for slab work.
DM and Icon Kajima have partnered with renowned architecture firm Rothelowman to design the five-level, 129-apartment building which is already over 60 per cent sold.
The location's rarity for new apartment developments in Geelong played a significant role in achieving such remarkable sales figures.
"Motif is situated in an ideal location, and its progressive design credentials led by Rothelowman have positioned the development to address the sustained undersupply of apartments within the Victorian housing market,” Nick Sestak, Senior Development Manager of Icon Kajima, said.
The ground floor hosts a generously sized plaza-like space landscaped by ACRE, providing a communal area for residents to gather and enjoy.
Ideally located at 1 York Street on the fringe of the CBD, Motif is just a stone's throw from Pakington Street's cafes, restaurants and bars, and the Little Malop Street precinct, home to The Geelong Library and Heritage Centre, the most striking piece of architecture in town, while all being one street away from the water.
