Planning communities and creating land estates where people love to live

Titles have been issued for the first tranche of oversized homesites located at the new-concept boutique estate, The Wedge. The event signals the completion of Stage 1, which already has some 30% of available land sold.

The Wedge is located on one of the last development sites within the sought-after Wellard North community. Homesites have been designed in response to a recognised family preference for larger land, with lot sizes ranging between 350sq.m and 475sq.m

Developer Mr John Wroth, Director of Monument parent company M/Group, said he is looking forward to heightened activity within the estate now that the land is ‘build-ready’. He said, being A-Class titled land with no bushfire conditions, owners will have the flexibility to select from a broad range of home styles and designs.

“There is no question that we successfully acquired a very special piece of land to work with at The Wedge. True to its name, the site is ‘wedged’ within one of the most sought after areas in the region. It is surrounded by the stunning Bulrush Nature Reserve, which is protected land that will continue to provide a natural shelter and lush green backdrop,” he said.

“Once in the estate, however, we are beginning to see a glimpse of the character and lifestyle features planned for the site. This includes large lot sizes based on market feedback, children’s playground and pump-track, walkways and ample public space. Together with the proximity to impressive community amenity, there is little wonder that the initial land release attracted so much momentum.”

The Wedge is located between the freeway and the ocean and is close to public transport, medical facilities, schools, shopping and just 30 minutes to Perth CBD.

It is being developed to a company philosophy that seeks to introduce a sense of distinction and character to an environment through considered design and special features. Such an approach is in keeping with the broader M/Group values and has already been highly successful at sister developments in Secret Harbour and Beeliar.

“As soon as you approach the entry statement at The Wedge, it is quite obvious that this is not a typical land estate,” Mr Wroth continued.

“We look beyond the standard ‘cookie-cutter’ environment to create a new style of estate that really sets it apart from the rest. This approach has now been successful across three consecutive estates and we are thrilled the market is responding positively.”

The Wedge is located on Bertram Road, Wellard North and Stage 1 homesites start from $174,000.

Land developer Monument has announced the official release of its highly anticipated Stage Two. It follows the rapid sale of 70% of titled homesites in Stage One, which were quickly secured in just six-months from launch.

Atop is a boutique land estate located on an elevated site within the established suburb of Beeliar. It is walking distance to Beeliar Village with supermarkets, specialty services, restaurants and cafes, as well as close to the local primary and high schools.

Stage Two comprises of just 22 homesites with the majority offering ocean-view potential. The release was brought forward on the back of high demand and a waitlist that has already resulted in a number of sales.

Mr John Wroth, Director of Monument parent company M/Group, says the development’s emerging design and character has created a real sense of place and those visiting Atop will now be able to see the difference in the company’s approach.

“So much has been considered in the design of Atop, including the varied elevations of each lot, views towards the Indian Ocean, the use of recycled logs and natural stone materials, and the strategic retention of majestic Tuart Trees at the site’s highest point. It truly is a beautiful and character-filled environment,” he said.

“With landscaping now in place and new residential homes under construction, the evolving environment and entry statement is striking. It’s rare to have the opportunity to introduce this level of design innovation in the thick of Perth’s metropolitan environment.

“The completion of Stage One has given visitors to the site a taste of things to come and we want to encourage as many people as possible to consider the opportunity.”

Atop stretches across 11.8 hectares and includes 171 homesites with varying lot sizes from 217sqm to 630sqm. There is a mix of ocean and parkland view options with natural land undulation that provides character in lot levels.

“Monument wants to move away from the ‘cookie-cutter’ land estate environment and instead respect the surroundings of each site. We have drawn on a lot of natural qualities within the estate and, as we continue to develop the property, we believe this detail will engender a distinct and attractive market proposition and great lifestyle environment,” Mr Wroth continued.

Built on an historic limestone quarry, the area also pays homage to the past with an array of natural limestone and off-form concrete feature walls throughout the estate. It also includes nature play areas for ‘discovery play’ and meandering walking trails and nesting hollows set aside for the area’s wildlife.

Construction of Stage Two is already underway with titles scheduled for early next year.

Stage One & Two land prices at Atop range between $225,000 and $389,000, Monument are also offering a $20,000 early bird special off the price meaning prices start from just $205,000 with the reduction.

Amidst the flurry of market projections and crystal ball predictions, boutique land developer Monument, part of M/Group, is celebrating ‘signed proof’ that a significant upswing in the market is now occurring – and the forecast for land buyers looks even better.

In a period that has been clouded by negative commentary, the company has successfully pre-sold 50% of its first land release at the Atop at Beeliar estate, procuring signed contracts even prior to titles being issued.

Director of land at M/Group, Mr John Wroth, said such a positive result of pre-selling off-the-plan lots has been virtually unheard of over the past three years, where sales were almost always attributed to titled land. He said while there is no doubt the boutique and limited nature of land at Atop has contributed to the sales, a range of external factors continue to have a positive impact on the market.

“Since the Federal Election, there has been a notable increase in enquiries across all our projects. This level of activity has also been reported by other developers, but all market indicators are just hearsay until there is concrete proof of sales,” he said.

“At Monument, June was recorded as an extremely strong month in terms of enquiries and sales and July is shaping up to be even stronger. The significance of having signed unconditional contracts on the table before titles confirms that there is renewed confidence in the market and property buyers are feeling confident to invest.”

Record low interest rates, recent tax cuts, First Home Buyer Grant incentives and relaxed lending rules also provide for a solid platform for investment.

Mr Wroth believes that a stronger and more vigorous property market will greatly impact land buying options, with increased quality and quantity of land available.

“The market slowdown certainly reduced the production of new land, with some developers opting to pull back on construction altogether. We are now able to progress construction of future stages and features that really set the estates apart,” he said.

“As a boutique developer, we predicted the possibility that any surplus of land would ultimately run dry in a slow market. We had the capacity to invest in continued construction at Atop so that when the tide turned, we would have ‘ready to build’ land available and packaged with stunning landscaping and ocean views.

“With the completion of construction on Stage 1, we are well placed to meet what is inevitably going be increased market demand.”

“Atop has been meticulously designed around the site’s existing typography. This includes majestic Tuart Trees retained at its highest point along with nature play areas for ‘discovery play’ and meandering walking trails with nesting hollows set aside for the area’s wildlife. It is also a quick walk to Beeliar Village with supermarkets, specialty services, restaurants and cafes, as well as close to the local primary and high schools,” Mr Wroth continued.

“Being first to market was not our only strategy to attract attention when the market shifts, we also wanted to create a unique statement for buyers. Atop at Beeliar is certainly that place and we are looking forward to ongoing interest as the market continues to return.”

Atop offers stunning ocean views and stretches across 11.8 hectares. It includes 171 homesites with varying lot sizes from 217sq.m to 630sq.m. This includes a mix of ocean and parkland view options with natural land undulation that provides character in lot levels.

The recently completed first stage of development includes 37 titled lots from 217sq.m to 494sq.m priced from $199,000.
