Location Cnr Luland and Hale Street, Botany Category Commercial About This Project A remnant triangular piece of land with a tiny weatherboard cottage in a heavy industrial area was redeveloped in 2005. We were able to use existing use rights to build a residence on the upper floor, a commercial level on level one and a popular local café/restaurant on the ground level. Small site, combined with local area contamination and king tide surge flooding made this a technically demanding little build. We are currently designing a new building on the neighbouring vacant site.

Robust construction has seen it weather its location as a heavy vehicle gateway and less than 250m to Kingsford Smith Airport land

Bright spaces and inviting areas have made the business a local institution. Many challenges for this site including contamination, flood levels and a 270m2 triangular site

Early render showing the connection to the corner. Robust construction was considered a must due to the site being on a major heavy transport corridor and nearby Kingsford Smith Airport

Professional Reviews

“We engaged Greg for pre-purchase because we weren’t sure what was possible on the property or whether our budget would stretch far enough for the renovation we had in mind. Greg was highly responsive and quickly arranged to review our brief, budget and timeline. He even attended a midweek inspection and, within an hour, delivered a clear and detailed report covering planning controls, site constraints, Sydney Water impacts and a concept design tailored to us. Even though we didn’t end up buying the property, his guidance gave us clarity and the confidence to bid. We would recommend Greg to anyone requiring these services. He clearly knows his stuff and is passionate about delivering value for his clients.”
