Woden Green, Canberra – Luxury High-Rise Apartments Under Construction

Every once in a while, we take a look back at our commissions, and find out how the project has progressed since preconstruction stage. This is when Mynott Bowers would produce the bills of quantities for the client as part of a competitive tender.

Today we showcase a project we completed the bills of quantities for in 2022. A large-scale residential scheme in a enviable location on the edge of Woden Town Centre in Woden Valley, Canberra (ACT).  

Woden Green consists of 419 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments across three towers. WG1 (Woden Green 1) is the largest of the three towers at 16-storeys high, WG2 and WG3 are 14 and 11-storeys high respectively. The scheme has been under construction since the start 2023.

Above: Careful consideration has been given in ensuring the scheme provides relaxing communal green space throughout the development.

The three towers have been strategically designed and positioned across the 7,221 sqm site to maximise on aspect, view, and separation from the other buildings, whilst creating a 3,000 sqm centralised garden connecting the three at podium level. The irregular form of each tower has been cleverly considered to provide increased natural light to the apartments and a superior interface with the other towers – allowing residents to look past, rather than into the other buildings. Each building has its own street address, with shared amenity and basement carpark.

Enabling works commenced on site in Feb 2023. Bulk and detailed excavation of three levels of basement have since been completed, using two 75 tonne excavators. Two Tower Cranes have been installed on site, and jump forms installed for each of the three tower cores.

Slab on ground was completed in November 2023, another big milestone for the project! As at December 2023, approximately:

60,000m³ material was excavated

8,000m³ of concrete was installed

840T of steel was installed

The whole development will be complete in 2025. More information can be found here: Woden Green | 1, 2 & 3-Bedroom Apartments for Sale Now.
