The Village Reaches the 6th Floor

Progress continues to be excellent and the structure is now completed up to the 6th floor. Work has commenced on the 7th floor slab floor and so we are within about 2-3 weeks of seeing the structure completed. The key milestones continue to be met for completion by December.

There has been other good progress in addition to the structure:
  • The external wall finishes have started
  • Internal walls are well advanced on Levels 1 and 2 and have commenced on Level 3
  • First floor windows are being fitted and walls are being lined on Level 1
  • Electrical, hydraulic and mechanical services are also well advanced on Levels 1 to 3
  • Level 4 has also been stripped ready for internal walls to commence
  • Work has also commenced on the foundations for the glass screen on the Anzac Parade facade

The building has now developed quite a presence in the area and can be seen for some distance. Views from the upper floors are also impressive with the city skyline (and even Anzac Bridge) visible from the Northern side of the building and Botany Bay visible to the south.
