A Layered Mixed-Use Challenge

CORE was engaged to deliver building services design for Finrose Residences – a premium mixed-use development comprising over 50 residential apartments, commercial tenancies, an auditorium and a heritage church.

With a construction value exceeding $70 million, the project required a considered approach to support a high-end residential offering while integrating complex uses and respecting the existing heritage fabric.

Our Approach

Working through to 70% detailed design, our focus was on creating a well-coordinated and buildable services solution across a highly layered project.

The integration of new residential and commercial elements alongside a heritage structure required careful planning and close collaboration. We worked proactively with Plus+ Architecture and the broader consultant team to navigate spatial constraints, resolve key interfaces and ensure services aligned with both modern performance requirements and heritage sensitivities.Our team took an active role in design workshops – not only contributing technically, but often leading coordination discussions across disciplines to maintain momentum and clarity as the design evolved.

Value Beyond Design

Beyond delivering the technical scope, we acted as trusted advisors throughout the process. We supported both the architect and builder in navigating key development decisions – providing guidance on options, identifying potential roadblocks early and helping shape outcomes that balanced performance, cost and constructability.By bringing a broader project perspective – extending beyond building services – we helped simplify decision-making, reduce uncertainty and ensure the client felt confident and supported at every stage of design.

Complex Project. Clear Outcome.

Through proactive coordination and informed decision-making, we helped bring multiple uses, constraints and stakeholders into a single, aligned design. The result is a seamless, high-performing development – ready for delivery and grounded in clarity from the outset.
