A $38 million work of art, this project is like none other we've seen. We were lucky to get into the building/courtyard/carpark, thanks to the owner of the Indian restaurant next door (side door access!). The project looked to be 75% or so vacant, and the builder decided to move forward with it during the collapse in the real estate market 3 years ago. Apparently, the owners are a wealthy bunch (Sampson Group), and have enough $ to be picky as heck with who they lease to. Originally slated to be a full on residential project, the owners had to re-structure during the design phase, and turn it into office/retail. Talk about flexibility. The state of the art car parking system (stacks cars from a platform!) was the coolest part of the project, a mere $15 million dollars for the system!
We herded into Arun's restaurant for a few tasty items thereafter to show respect for his help. G'day mates!
