Mixed-Use Development has become Subiaco’s Most Sought-After Real Estate

One Subiaco was designed during the period of development of SPP 7.3 and the approval process required design excellence using the then draft policy as a benchmark.

One Subiaco brings new life’ into the once socially important Subiaco Markets site. Mixed-use development has become Subiaco’s most sought-after real estate. One Subiaco brings together a highly activated ground plane, a high degree of public access and will allow movement through to other development sites to the south to promote interconnectivity. The site was earmarked for this kind of development and development density.

Public benefits include a high degree of street activation and an activated ground plane through the whole development. It also takes care of part of the density requirements of planning in Subiaco and offers housing diversity.

A successful dimension of the development is its response to the existing one and two storey developments on Rokeby and Roberts roads and breaking the upper-level developments in separate buildings.

At street level, it presents as a four storey building, which is in keeping with the Subiaco ethos in the station precinct. This is the element that reads strongly from the pedestrian view and it is only at some distance that the towers come into visual play.

One Subiaco was intended to and does mark a new era as the first luxury high-rise development outside of the Perth CBD, delivering luxury with heritage reflections and modern living in harmony.

The program successfully achieved a high standard of mixed-use development and the soon to be completed tenancy fit outs will play an important role in the gateway to The City experience. The ambition of the development vision is vindicated by the quality of the outcome.
