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 eatimated that the above works will take until the end of January 2012

The Berkeley Stage 2

Outstanding Works
The exterior of Stage 2 is nearing completion. The interiors of Stage 2 are well under way towards completion, with Practical Completion of Stage 2 estimated as being on or about the end of February 2012. Landscaping and promenade works are due to commence towards the end of January 2012 and be completed by the end of February 2012. Essential Services are in place for most of Stage 2. Elevators are on site and have been commissioned.

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
- Alfresco street dining in Carrington Street
- Asian style street food market
- Fine dining restaurant
- Function spaces for weddings and community events.

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

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.

The Preston Pearl apartments are set to become the benchmark for modern design in Melbourne’s north. The project is made up of one and two bedroom apartments with spacious living areas, terraces, quality fixtures and fittings, secure basement car parking and storage for each apartment.

Stamp duty savings are available when buying off the plan. This is an exciting opportunity for young professionals, students, families and investors.

Preston is situated 9km from Melbourne’s CBD. It is an inner city suburb with a rich social history and a diverse culture that offers a lifestyle with a bohemian edge.

AXF’s Preston Pearl lifestyle apartments are conveniently located to:

• Great arterial roads (to airport, freeway and ring road)
• Established public transport (Preston train station, trams No. 11, 112 & 86 and buses)
• Only minutes to Preston’s busy shopping district, market and more than 15 restaurants and cafes

This proposed up-market high-rise apartment tower is presently in concept development. It is in a prime Doncaster location on approximately 3,004sqm of land with unobstructed views of the city skyline.

Designed for a discerning empty nester market, this proposed 110 apartments development will feature a beautifully presented façade with quality and style throughout. This will become the jewel of the eastern suburbs.

This development is conveniently located directly across Williamsons Road from Westfield Shopping Centre and is also close to many specialty shops. Views of the city to the west and Dandenong Ranges to the north will be maximised for each apartment. Outdoor alfresco entertaining areas on balconies and terraces will be an added feature to this stunning development. Completion is anticipated in 2013.

Acquired in 2007, this magnificent site is equivalent to 4 city blocks and presents an exciting challenge to combine the rich history of the Kinnears Ropeworks factory with cutting-edge architecture and technology.

AXF Group is currently rezoning the site, which has a potential for up to 1400 dwellings and supporting mixed use zones on the 3.3 hectare site.

Kinnear’s Ropeworks is of historical significance as one of Victoria’s three major ropeworks (Millers in Brunswick and Donaghy’s in Geelong), and the largest and longest to continually operate in Melbourne from 1902 – 2002.

Once completed, this landmark precinct will become the western suburbs’ premier residential and commercial hub. The design philosophy has been influenced by the physical attributes of the site and due consideration has been made to accommodate the abutting uses, open space linkages and appropriate architectural typologies.

This elegant and innovative 9 double storey and 1 single storey town house development is only 15km east of Melbourne CBD with easy access to the Eastern Freeway. It is conveniently located to all amenities including local shops, kindergartens, schools, churches, and only a few minutes away from the popular Box Hill Central precinct. Box Hill North also features a number of popular parks – Memorial, Springfield and Eram Park.

Dorking Gardens is only a 5 minute drive from Melbourne’s second most heavily populated centre – Box Hill. The townhouses are set within a unique garden concept developed by John Patrick, the renowned landscape designer and host of ABC TV show ‘Gardening Australia’. This thoughtful approach demonstrates AXF’s ability to meet local market demand for beautiful garden settings. Dorking Gardens is attractive for both owner occupiers and investors. Ideal for those seeking to live in a relaxed garden environment, without the hassle of individual maintenance.
