393 Macaulay Rd is the first project delivered via the ‘Assemble Model’, an innovative housing development model that bridges the gap between renting and home ownership by allowing residents to lease their home while they save to buy. The rent and purchase price are both fixed, giving residents stability while they save, as well as the freedom to leave the lease or decide not to buy if they choose.
The development comprises 73 apartments over eight levels including a mixture of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments. The design is based on the philosophy of ‘small footprint living’ to support community sustainability. A landscaped, open-air walkway brings crossflow ventilation and dual aspect natural light to each apartment. Communal spaces are located on the upper and ground floors including places for work, dining, and leisure.
The design retains and restores the facade of the original heritage building.
We are providing full quantity surveying services for the development.
