Since topping out the structure at Kurraba Residences, the façade and interior fit out works have progressed at a rapid rate. Window installation is complete across all buildings making the building watertight and installation of the iconic red brick façade has commenced. With large areas of the brick installation now complete on the upper levels, these sections of scaffolding can now be dismantled and will continue to come down as the façade works progress. Internally, the wall and ceiling sheeting is nearing completion for the whole building, joinery installation has commenced and floor tiling to the apartments has commenced on the lower levels. With approximately five months until completion, façade works will continue to progress on the mid to lower levels of the building simultaneously with the remaining interior fit out works. The final site activity includes external landscaping works for the common areas. Construction is currently forecast to be completed by the second quarter of 2023.

We also hosted the ground-breaking on site in July with our investors and the wider Third.i team, which was fantastic for us all to come together and celebrate a true legacy project. Graphite Square is progressing well, with the development now coming out of the ground and on schedule.
