PROJEX® Building

Overview

Projex Building Group were engaged by Colliers on behalf of KM Property Funds Ltd for the demolition and base building upgrades to the commercial floors at 23 Marcus Clarke St (New Acton East). New Acton East is a strata titled mixed use development with small retail offerings on the ground floor, offices from levels 1-4, and residential dwellings located above the office portion of the building from levels 5-7.

The upgrade works spanned across 5500m2 from basement 1 to level 4. The base building upgrades were delivered in a staged approach to accommodate the existing commercial building single tenant Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) who had signed a new long-term lease and were handing back the ground floor, half of level 1 and all of level 4 back to the building owner creating a new multi-tenant office building.

The centrepiece and the most challenging part of this project was the construction of the new internal fire egress stairs which were required due to the new multi-tenanted office floors. 8 flights of stairs with a total weight exceeding 8 tonnes were transported through the front lobby entry doors and hoisted from the ground floor up to their final positions whilst access was maintained to the ground floor entry and lifts for the ACCC and their visitors.
