Castlerock to develop greenest offices in Frankston CBD

Castlerock are extremely proud to announce that we have entered into a long-term lease agreement with the Victorian Government to develop new offices spanning 5,500m2 in Frankston, Victoria.

The state-of-the-art building will be located on the former International Motel site at 383 Nepean Road, in the Frankston CBD and will focus on delivering essential government services to Frankston and its neighbouring communities.

The vision for the building is to provide a sustainable, vibrant, inviting, and inclusive workplace which makes the most of its coastal environment and the views across Port Phillip Bay. In addition to the building being designed to achieve a 5.5-star NABERS rating, the building will provide CBD quality end-of-trip facilities, electric car and e-scooter charging facilities.

Being a driver for growth in the region, the offices will pave the way in providing a place to serve the community, creating additional jobs from construction to the ongoing operation which further generates investment opportunities for the local community.

Castlerock are working closely with the Bunurong Land Council on initiatives that will use conceptualised visual installations that recognise and educate on the traditional stories and history of the area. 

The concept for the design was inspired by the Eastern Great Egret, an elegant bird native to the Mornington Peninsula, paying further tribute to the natural surrounds of the area.

The property will be added to the extensive portfolio of Government leased assets within the Auslink Property Trust No.2 Fund, further providing investors with a stable growing income stream, and long-term capital growth. Construction is due to be completed by mid-2024 with the Government occupying shortly thereafter.

Director, Adam Bronts, says: “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to develop another building in concert with the Victorian Government, a building that goes hand in hand with the Frankston Council’s mission to drive growth in the community by generating investment and creating local employment opportunities.”

“In aligning with this mission, the building will feature ‘above best practice’ sustainability – the greenest in the Frankston CBD, a responsive gateway design to the city centre and connectivity to the surrounding urban realm that will promote social engagement within the community.”

We look forward to providing further updates on the development in the coming months.
