Future
Waterbank employees will be able to
kayak to work, with wash-down bays and kayak storage as part of
end-of-trip facilities outlined in plans for the
precinct’s first
commercial building.
The proposed building, to be called The Campus at Waterbank, will take
further advantage of its Swan River location with public domain
landscaping that will encourage work life to extend beyond the office.
The precinct will also be connected to
Perth’s extensive cycle network.
The plans are outlined in two development applications Lendlease has
submitted to the
Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) for Lot 4 &
5, facilitating either a five level (10,570 sqm NLA) or six level
(13,600sqm NLA) building that will front the extension of Hay Street to
the Swan River.
Waterbank spans six hectares of riverfront land at Perth CBD’s eastern
gateway and will be delivered progressively in partnership with the MRA.
The development envisages a mixed-use precinct comprising workers,
residents, retailers and visitors.
Quotes attributable to Waterbank project director David
Ockenden.
“The design for Waterbank’ s first
commercial
building reflects our commitment to create a new kind of
office
environment in Perth – a
workplace of the future that blends with
parkland and the Swan River foreshore.”
“With floor plates in excess of 3,000sqm The Campus at Waterbank will
give future tenants the opportunity to achieve flexibility in workplace
strategy, from open plan to activity and team-based configurations.”
“Waterbank’ s future commercial tenants will also have direct access to
the CBD via free public transport, plentiful onsite public parking and
ease of access to major city arterial road routes.”
“The Campus at Waterbank will achieve a minimum 5 Star
Green Star Design
and As-Built rating.”
“Lendlease looks forward to undertaking further civil infrastructure
works at Waterbank in early 2019, with a view to starting construction
of The Campus at Waterbank in the second half of 2019, with a targeted
completion date of 2021.”
