Sustainability is a working strength on every project Chris runs, and on the projects now in design and planning the ESD outcomes are bespoke to each building. Vettex sets out to drive real outcomes for sustainability, not to tick boxes on a rating.
Four are Vettex engagements: a 15-level mass timber office in Cremorne, a 32-level mass timber hotel in Adelaide, and design management on a hotel in St Kilda and a mixed-use building in Hampton East. The other four date from Chris’s time at Cobild, from a build-to-rent deal in Fitzroy to a completed office in Abbotsford. Each entry sets out the role, the scale and where the project is up to.
A 15-level office building in Cremorne: 21,672 m² GFA and 13,145 m² of net lettable area, with the project value TBC, set to be the tallest mass timber office building in Australia. Chris has run the development from feasibility through planning.
A 32-level hotel and office tower in Adelaide in fully mass timber, set to be the most sustainable hotel in Australia: 18,976 m² GFA and a $210m project, now in planning. Vettex provides feasibility services and support to the Finding Infinity team.
A hotel on Fitzroy Street, St Kilda: a new building alongside the refurbishment of the existing hotel. Chris ran the design management.
Apartments and townhouses over ground-floor commercial at Keith Street, Hampton East. Chris ran the design management.
