The site layout features the two buildings positioned to optimize space and usability. The three-storey Building 1 will occupy a central location on the property, complemented by a newly planned recreational area and a swimming pool. Meanwhile, Building 2, a two-storey structure, is set to front Denver Road, creating a welcoming street presence.

To enable this redevelopment, several existing structures will be removed. This includes the demolition of eight existing rooms, the central row of six units, and the north-south circulation pathway that runs through the site. The existing swimming pool will also be replaced to accommodate the updated recreational facilities.

This development represents a considerable addition to Taigum’s housing stock, catering to the growing demand for family-friendly accommodation in the area. The focus on providing private and communal outdoor areas, convenient locations, and ample parking will likely make this development highly attractive to prospective buyers.



The development application is currently under review, and if approved, construction is expected to commence shortly.
