PROJECT SNAPSHOT

Kiora, developed by St Louis Estate and designed by Kerry Hill Architects, is a collection of 16 ultra-luxury apartments over 4 levels featuring a shared rooftop terrace, a wellness centre, a basement carpark and a communal lounge area within a refurbished heritage property.

Architect-designed apartments, luxury interiors, superb wellness facilities, lush greenery, and high-quality care are the foundation stones of Kiora.

The heritage component includes a full refurbishment with windows, roof, jarrah flooring, verandah, ceilings, walls, fireplaces and new services. The heritage building is a stand-alone structure but integrated into the new building via a central corridor on the western side. The intent is to convert the existing building into a residents lounge comprising of a bar, library and lounge.

This luxury development is redefining independent living.

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES

PACT took over the project from another builder and is managing the remaining 6-7mths of the project which includes:
– 16 No. 2 bedroom Apartments across the Ground Floor to 3rd Floor
– Carpark and Stores to the Basement Level
– Wellness Centre and Court to the Ground Floor
– A heritage-listed Resident’s Lounge to the Ground Floor

The building structure has been completed up to the Roof Level, with the Roof Level concrete slab to be completed by PACT, followed by steel roof framing. The building façade will resume from Ground Floor up to the Roof Level, which includes face brickwork, windows and screens. Fit out will resume from Ground Floor which includes conventional construction materials including plasterboard stud walls, plasterboard ceilings and typical finishes and fixtures.
