Probuild to deliver $300 million Curtin student accommodation
19 June 2019
Probuild has been appointed to build
the Greater Curtin Stage One Student Accommodation project in
Perth,
Western Australia, for a consortium led by
InfraRed Capital Partners.
With a development value of more than $300 million, the project is made
up of two student accommodation
buildings with about 1,000 new student
beds and a third building housing 38 apartments and 60 hotel rooms. The
buildings sit over a mixed-use
precinct of retail, commercial and
recreational spaces with a combined Gross Floor Area of 57,400m2.
The development forms part of
Curtin University’s new Exchange precinct,
a transformative hub that delivers genuine
mixed-use development to
serve as a catalyst for innovation for students, industry and the
broader community.
“We’re excited to be ramping up our presence in
WA’s University market.”
said Probuild’s
WA Managing Director, Sam Delmenico.
“This is the first time we’ve worked with Infrared Capital Partners and
we are pleased to have formed such a strong partnership right off the
bat. “This is Probuild’s second construction project on Curtin
University’s
Perth Campus, building on the relationship initiated by the
University’s TL Robertson Library development.
“We’re really looking forward to working with these organisations to
help realise the Greater Curtin vision.”
Curtin University Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry said Exchange
was a unique higher education development because it is a genuine
mixed-use development that brings many industry sectors into a community
destination.
“Exchange has been designed to transform Curtin’s main Perth Campus into
a major innovation hub where research, industry and the wider community
will be able to come together to drive real-world solutions to
tomorrow’s challenges in one convenient location, so I am absolutely
delighted that this important milestone has been achieved,” Professor
Terry said.
“Our new student accommodation will be located in the heart of our main
Perth Campus, and has been designed to complement our current 1,150
student accommodation beds. The new development will target a 5-Star
Green Star Design and As Built which includes
water recycling, energy
minimisation initiatives and is situated close to Curtin’s bus
interchange.”
The contract win caps off a big 12 months for Probuild in the education
space, with the company recently converting the $200 million Victoria
University Tower in Melbourne, as well as the ECI contract for the $70
million refurbishment to Curtin University’s Library.
Probuild has already commenced working with consultant team and site
establishment is anticipated to begin in July 2019 with construction
commencing shortly thereafter and completing in 2021.
