The development will provide 275 apartments with residents facilities set within cascading landscaped gardens and terraces. The podium will contain a high-end retail complex and a varied range of dining experiences including:

• Laneway coffee shops

• Asian style street food market

The proposed development is significantly higher than the immediate surrounds and its striking form will be a landmark for Box Hill.

Literally a short walk to Doncaster Westfield shopping town, The Berkeley surrounded by a full complement of community, retail and hospitality services.

The external finishes of the building are of a high standard. Rich and varied materials generate a striking building façade – a monument of grand architecture for Doncaster Hill.

Be pleasantly surprised by the fact that The Berkeley apartments are generally larger than any other on offer in area with well designed interiors that offers a sense of quality and modernity.

The quality of internal Kitchen and Joinery finish are simply outstanding with a focus on detail not readily seen in other projects.

With the project rapidly nearing completion, landscaping is our next priority with an emphasis on quality shrubs, lush ground cover and verdant trees have all been designed by renowned landscape designer, John Patrick. Climbers combined with a vertical metal picket fence, shrubs and trees be planted along Berkeley and Tower Streets will not only provide a pleasant view for occupiers but also a sense of privacy.

The Interiors to Stage 1 of the Project are mostly completed including the car parking. All essential services are operational within the Stage 1 portion of the building. The Exterior of Stage 1 still requires completion of the Landscaping and external promenade works. This has been interrupted by the Building Trades Christmas & New Year close down with the Builders starting back after the break on the 16th of January 2012. It is estimated that the above works will take until the end of January 2012.

As the plaster comes together, the outer shell of stage 1 is shining through the window frames which are now in place, the Berkeley is taking shape now. Even though it may be just a shell of the internal fittings, the kitchen looks astounding! Just imagine when the bench tops and finishing touches are added. Every apartment will soon be coming to life with glamour and colour.
Not too far behind stage 1, stage 2 is coming along swimmingly. With the timber frames finally up and running as well as 50% of the plaster completed, stage 2 will soon enough start looking like individual apartments.

Notwithstanding inclement weather or other unforeseen sources of delays, our target completion dates of stage 1 by early November or December this year followed by stage 2 by late December seems quite achievable.

Progress has been slower than hoped due to excessive rainfall for this time of year along with the large number of holiday and industry wide rostered days off. However, the Project is still tracking well with stage 1 being 1 week behind schedule, which the builder believes will pick up with Stage 2 of the Project being right on schedule.
