22 | Brocorp Mosgiel millennials in for a treat from page 20 There will be a large exposed aggregate forecourt for eleven carparks. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT The project commenced the second week of September this year and while ABL has given a 10-month time frame for the build Mike is allowing for supply chain issues and is targeting October, which he says will be a good time to start advertising for tenants. “The apartments really will be cutting edge. Mosgiel won’t have seen anything like this before because it is very high end with a luxurious finish. “The exterior will have a very contemporary, almost industrial look. “There will be concrete tilt panels for the walls and the formwork on the concrete tilt slabs has created a roughsawn timber look to enhance its aesthetics. “There is lots of exposed steel throughout the building at the different levels, and there’s lots of oversize glass windows and sliders.” Vertical aluminium louvers on the east and west sides of the decked areas on the middle and top levels afford the tenants privacy. Mike’s wife Amy has responsibility for interior design. Internally sleek, each apartment will have a different interior — some light and very contemporary while others will project a moody ambiance. There will be a large exposed aggregate forecourt for eleven carparks and a beautiful old walnut tree takes pride of place in a grassed area that will be perfect for picnics. “The apartments will appeal to people who just want to move in and enjoy all the modcons and future proofing. “The goal is to rent each of the apartments out and it is likely that some of the units will be fully furnished.” Reflecting on the challenges of developing properties and developing them well, Mike says Brocorp has a great power team behind it, starting with the surveyor, lawyers and mortgage broker and bar a few, all the contractors involved have been used since day one. “It’s really about relying on a good foundation of a good team with everyone involved. It is also about having a bit of luck and some faith because it can be so stressful sometimes. “When I first started doing this, I didn’t know how horrific it could be and I stumbled through in the most part — but we got there and that gave me the confidence to carry on.” “The apartments will appeal to people who just want to move in and enjoy all the mod-cons and future proofing.” PLACEMAKERS DUNEDIN & MOSGIEL PLACEMAKERSDUNEDIN & MOSGIEL 86 PORTSMOUTH DRIVE & 34 CARNCROSS ST (03) 466 4617 PROUDLY SUPPORTING BROCORP & WALNUT GREEN APARTMENTS Do it once - Do it right!
