Construction commences on The Huxley
Construction has begun on the $30 million dollar development known as The Huxley, for Thirdi Property.
Head Contractor, Basebuild, are responsible for delivering the 64-unit, 9 storey project within a 14 month construction timeframe which commenced in September 2015.
Thirdi Property, a Sydney-based developer, directed Catalyst Project Consulting to engage a 100% local design team. This provided the developer with a level of certainty during the approval process through timely responses to Council queries during the Consent modification.
The project undertook, with the support of Newcastle City Council, minor internal changes to provide prospective purchasers with what the market is directing in relation to unit sizing and layouts. This resulted in the project selling out prior to the construction phase beginning. The project’s lead design consultant, Base Architects, delivered the final design, with the façade blending expansive areas of glass and render, and high-finish contemporary interiors.
