We are pleased to pass on the below update from the developer:
We’re obviously living in a very unusual and challenging environment at the minute and we hope everyone is looking after themselves and supporting each other through it. Whilst things are changing daily, we thought it’d be an appropriate time to provide an update in relation to 835 High.
Firstly, we’re very excited to be able to announce that we’ve appointed Flux (Figurehead Construction) as our Builder/Head Contractor. Flux were the builder on our recently completed 97 Mathoura Rd, Toorak development which was also designed by Carr and has recently been shortlisted for the prestigious Australian Interior Design Awards. Flux have an unrivalled reputation for delivery of extremely high quality developments and we couldn’t be more confident in their ability to deliver another outstanding result for us all at 835.
Link to Flux website – http://www.fluxconstruction.com.au/
Link to our completed Mathoura Rd Development (Moda/Carr/Flux) – https://www.moda.com.au/97-mathoura-road-toorak/
Flux have already commenced demolition on site with the internal strip-out phase well underway and will roll straight into construction unless there are further State/Federal restrictions put in place to prevent them from doing so. As of today, the construction industry continues to operate, albeit under some modified working conditions.
From a sales perspective, we’ve now sold 23 of 26 Apartments which is an incredible outcome (so quickly) and reflects the quality of the design and location.
Our business and more specifically this development is extremely well capitalised and nicely positioned to deliver 835 High and we look forward to keeping you regularly updated as we progress through construction.
If anyone would like to discuss anything at all, please feel free to email or call, we’re available at any time.
Lastly and more importantly we hope you’re all staying safe and keeping healthy.

The next two weeks will also see the concrete walls and columns, already installed within the basement, continuing above ground floor.
Over the coming months structural works will continue with level 1 and 2 slabs to be poured as well as the top floor roof structure. We are aiming for the building to be “topped out” in late May/June. The internal services fit out will follow with the individual apartments beginning to take shape!
Included within the next project update will be information regarding our recommended window furnishing supplier and how to arrange quotes and install directly with them.

June, 2020
Please find the latest update below from the developer:
Dear Helm Apartment Owner,
Since our Construction Update No. 8, issued on 26 March 2020, while the site itself may have been fairly quiet, behind the scenes we have been working tirelessly and a lot has been happening.
We have been completing negotiations with Suppliers to secure unhindered supply of the products ordered to finish the Project, both those coming from within Australia and those from overseas, and also engaged further fencing and security monitoring to ensure the safety of the site and your investment during the transition in Builders.
We are now very pleased to advise that FOURSQ (pronounced FourSquare) have been nominated as the new Builder for HELM. They have an excellent portfolio of past projects, where they have been instrumental in successfully assuming the builder role on several of those developments that were facing the same challenges when they came on board, and the results they delivered have been seamless and of the utmost quality. We wanted to select a New Builder who is both capable and worthy of the job to complete the HELM build to our high expectations, which has not been an easy task, but we believe that we have been successful in this endeavour.
Taking the extra time to do the necessary due diligence to be able to be confident in our selection of FOURSQ has been crucial to try and ensure a smooth finalisation schedule for the remainder of the build, and we believe that this will mean a superior quality end-finish to the Apartments will be delivered that will be worth the wait.
FOURSQ are expecting to resume building works in the next two weeks, and have presented a Completion Timeline that has Apartments being completed around the end of October 2020, with Settlement then anticipated to be able to take place some time in November. Please find attached for your reference the Completion Works Tender Timeline dated 24 April 2020, showing a Projected Hand-over Date of Friday 2/10/2020 to Tuesday 24/11/2020.
As mentioned, the Completion Date as set out in the Builder’s Construction Schedule is to be around the 1st November 2020.
We will be in touch shortly with the amendment to the Purchase Contract.
Thank you very much for your patience in this matter and, like you, we are looking forward to moving into our Apartment.
May, 2020
The developer has advised that for the month of April, they have been installing the underground sewer & stormwater services to the main block of Townhouses at Balaclava.
This includes running all major services (water, gas, electricity) below the ground floors.
They will also be working in the front four units, pouring the slabs and basic infill timber framing.
They have advised they are utilising a pre-fabricated wall & floor system that is delivered to site with the windows installed and some external claddings on. (not the feature cladding). Frames are ordered and are due to start erecting on site from early June.
This process is expected to expedite the build significantly, with the manufacturer estimating they will erect a complete three level townhouse including roof trusses within a week.
Our aim is to have all townhouses locked up in October 2020.
Further updates to come.
May, 2020
Through this challenging time we have been able to progress and complete our roof and are closing in on completing our external claddings.
Over the next few weeks we will be focusing on the finishing touches externally, with render colours, caulking and capping’s before we remove the scaffolding around the building.
Internally, first floor services are almost complete – being plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling – and we are commencing to lock up on the ground floor with the intention of commencing plaster in the next few weeks.
In addition to maintaining a steady progress, our priority is to ensure that we maintain safe work practices and promote social distancing on site.
Photos included show the progress of the site.
Should you have any queries please contact us on 9530 6800 or info@shustin.com

Progress continues to progress well at Lothian Street. We are pleased to pass on the following purchaser update for Lothian Street as provided to us from the developer. Please see photos attached.
Please note the following regarding the Covid-19 crisis:
joinery, an Italian product, has been disrupted by the
Covid-19 lockdown in Italy.
selected by the architect in response to this logistics disruption. Please refer attached letter from Kennedy Nolan for more information.
We will endeavour to provide you with further updates as construction progresses.
July, 2020
The developers have provided us with the following update:
We are pleased to advise that we have passed the most challenging and unpredictable phase of the construction.
As advised previously, all of the low grade contaminated fill has been removed. The next challenge was to deal with the water table.
This part of St Kilda was originally a swamp. The fill was bought in to lift ground level above the water level. Consequently, the water table is not far below the surface and is a significant challenge both during construction and to construct dry basements. In order to achieve this, we have laid boreholes fed by trenches from all over the site (see the photo attached). These bores are constantly pumped to settlement tanks before discharging to the storm water system.
Further photos show the positioning of reinforcement in the final structural footing.
The next stage is to pour a hydrostatic slab. This is a very thick, heavy slab which will assist in ensuring that the basement doesn’t literally float up on the water table.
The hydrostatic slab will be poured in the next week or so. From there, construction will be virtually without risk and should proceed without further delay.
We are currently targeting a construction completion date in mid July, 2021
We will further update this page in due course with photos and construction updates. Thanks for your patience.
July, 2020
We have been provided the following update from the developer:
We continue to work with the council’s planning department to hopefully receive endorsed plans this month.

Purchasers, please see the letter below from Kallan Carabott, Director of Oxford Development Group.
Dear Purchasers,
I am sorry for the delay in our commencement of PARQ.
We demolished the existing buildings late last year with a March 2020 start date as our goal, unfortunately COVID-19 has created delays we could never prepare for, social distancing through my own office, our consultants reduced work hours and a shortage of work ready sub-contractors forced us to temporarily put the brakes on the project.
I am delighted to say that things are a lot better now in the building industry and things are back on track, however still slower than normal. At the moment we are confident we will be able to commence construction in 6-8 weeks’ time.
Thank you for your patience.
Kallan Carabott
