Urbano Due – Claymont – Property Development And Construction Group

Urbano Due, companion building to Uno and second half of the final whole, is now available.

An industrial past meets an urban future.

If you could have known 13 years ago what East Perth would be today you could add the tag ‘visionary’ to your name.

Thirteen years ago the light-industrial zone of East Perth was visited by few but those who sought mechanical repairs for a car or parking for a cricket match at the WACA. Devoid of trees, there was little life in the place, the sort of landscape that on a blistering summer day felt 10 degrees hotter and the bitumen seemed to be melting.

That it was waterfront real estate was largely forgotten.

Time-lapse photography of East Perth over the last 13 years would reveal a stunning transition. A rapid rise of architect designed homes interspersed with established public spaces and parklands, a community thriving and supported by carefully planned infrastructure, a precinct capable of a glamorous night display after a cool, leafy daytime.

The rapid growth of the East Perth precinct is proof enough of its success as a major urban renewal project and investment in its initial phase took a much greater leap of faith than it does today.

Enter Urbano Uno. Right time. Right place.

While the plane trees cast more shade each year and the surrounds settle into a place of affluent establishment, life at the Urbano apartments has much to offer. Transport and shopping will always be at your doorstep, meaning the most difficult decision you’ll have to make is deciding where to eat and which café makes coffee just the way you like it.

Light and shade.

Using a sophisticated palette with colours drawn from nature, an Urbano interior takes maximum advantage of available natural light. With expansive external glass connecting indoors to out, living areas are flooded with light during the day while stylish window treatments allow for privacy at night.

The Urbano apartment’s ceilings feature bulkeads with lighting are a stroke of acoustic and ambient genius, all that adorns these rooms will always look and sound its best. Each apartment is equipped with Foxtel and TV cabling to plug-in the latest multimedia entertainment systems. Light and space abound. A space to fill with your friends, your style, your music, your life.

Bon apetito Urbano.

Life is for the living and one of its greater pleasures lies in the preparation and sharing of good food. The kitchen is the heart and soul of any home and with this in mind the Urbano architects have distilled the essence of practicality, comfort and beauty into this vital space. Clean, contemporary lines await your culinary talents.

Halogen down-lights have been deployed where a brighter light needs to be shed on life’s finer details, including quality stainless-steel European appliances, and solid timber floors.

Stone bench-tops provide the perfect work surface for the most punishing of cooks. Polished to a high gloss, heat, scratch and stain resistant and in keeping with other natural elements used throughout your Urbano interior.

Tone and texture.

Surfaces throughout Urbano apartments are an exercise in tone and texture. Luxurious carpet in bedroom areas enhances sympathetic acoustics while also providing the perfect textural foil for the wood floors and tiled bathroom. Chosen for their durability, the natural stone finish and glazed ceramic tiles are much more than simply stylish.

The perfect retreat.

What better way to ease away a busy day or begin a brand new one than by bathing in luxury. Colours and textures remain in keeping.

Glass shower-screens create a sense of simplicity and elegance, the chrome tap-ware is the perfect compliment to the satin chrome door furniture throughout.

Our interior spaces have always reflected our prosperity and the Urbano bathroom is no exception. Every detail combines perfectly to create the perfect sanctuary for a weary you.

We’ve thought of everything.

Outstanding design pays homage to East Perth’s industrial past.

Simple, clean lines and a mix of materials including glass, steel and brickwork, combine together in the arresting façade of the Urbano apartments. The feature panels of face brickwork are typical of the old warehouse structures in the area, while metal louvre screens and expansive use of glass provide a contemporary contrast in texture and colour.

But looks aren’t everything; these clever design aspects also make for a building, which takes advantage of solar passive principles.

In keeping with the sense of place and culture already established in East Perth, a portion of overall building costs is designated to public artworks. Urbano incorporates an elegant water-feature at the ground level of the complex.

Access to undercroft parking is via electronic security gates. A central lift and stairs take you into the building to your home.

City Living

At your doorstep.

Imagine a set of concentric circles radiating outwards from your Urbano address.

To the north, a pedestrian bridge provides access to the Beaufort Street precinct; a leisurely stroll of two blocks takes you to the Royal Street café strip where there’s more on offer than excellent coffee. Fashion retailers, fully equipped gymnasium, fresh food supermarket, wine specialists and restaurants are all vital signs of a thriving community.

Head east along the Swan River waterways for an energetic work-out in the picturesque surrounds of East Perth’s beautiful public open spaces, or set out at a more leisurely pace in search of original artwork and exciting cuisine.

Your local train-station, Claisebrook, is a mere two stops away from the city and a few more in the opposite direction to Burswood and beyond. For further travels, Urbano lies within easy reach of the Graham Farmer freeway and other major arterial roads.

And on it goes – with Urbano at the centre of it all.

A revival of East Perth and a renewal of your life.

While urban renewal began with the rebuilding of Rome, its latter day projects have seen such successes as Sydney’s Darling Harbour, Canary Wharf in London and Spain’s Bilbao district. Each of these communities strikes a perfect balance between the natural and built environment and commercial and residential concerns. Consultation with stakeholders has had brilliant results in each case and the renaissance of East Perth joins them in having created a blueprint for successful inner-city living. The East Perth Redevelopment Authority has collected numerous awards in recognition of this and continues to plan for the area’s ongoing successful redevelopment.

Looking ahead.

Plans to redevelop under utilised land in the East Perth surrounds include the Riverside precinct and the Queens precinct where initial work has begun and the vital injection of community is no longer just a vision. Work is also commencing on the heritage listed East Perth Power Station. Plans reveal it to house a balance of residential and commercial occupants with a draft master-plan describing it as a waterfront ‘culture and arts precinct’. Such progress guarantees a sound investment at Urbano Uno and stage two of the development, Urbano Due, both of which sit tightly at the centre of it all.
