Hi Everyone
I'm interested in people's thoughts on the draft concept plans(attached) for a 8 unit development I'm doing in St Kilda East. Plans have been amended to meet councils initial concerns however they still need a bit of work to add the internals and rearrange the bedrooms to maximize the space available.
My initial thoughts are:
Do away with the lift & relocate bin area to turn ground floor unit into a 2 bedder. I want to keep the construction costs down and don't see the need for a lift when there is no basement. This should also make space available on floor 1 & 2 & keep body corp fees down.
Add a small en-suite to the larger 2 bedders. 2+2 Units sell & rent well in this area.
Add a bedroom to Unit 1.2, will be tight however 2 bedders at 65sq seem to be the norm these days in the inner suburbs. A new development a few doors down the road on the same street sold a 3 bedder that was 68sq for $645k.
Extend the terrace areas for the top 2 units.
Other ideas/comments?
Thanks also to Oscar & Huss for their great work to date on this development.
Thanks everyone.
