Testimonial for 376-382 New South Head Road, Double Bay
Some months ago my company was offered the opportunity to lease space in what was then “the new development” on the corner of Knox and NSRH, Double Bay. During the course of negotiations, it immediately became evident that this was no ordinary building. The design, planning and effort put into this most visually beautiful, ecologically sustainable development, is a credit to the vision of the principals of the Fivex Commercial Property, their architects and builders.
I jumped at the change to align my business with the positiveness provided by the eastern suburb’s premier development combining building functionality and environmental conscience. I have secured 130 square metres of prime ground floor retail space, which, I am confident, will expedite the required growth of my hairdressing business in the years ahead.
Already, Double Bay is abuzz with excitement at the impending opening of the various types of businesses working on the final stages of their shop fit-outs.
The building’s fit-out guide, at first sight seems voluminous, however, as the project unfolds, I find myself marveling at the foresight and attention to detail contained within the document. The integrity of the building’s unique design is foremost in the thought and actions of all those involved.
Whilst initially not able to take advantage of the water and sewage sustainability aspects of the building, I will be working closely with the Fivex team to switch across to a much more sympathetic environmental approach in the months after occupying the site. We have designed the plumbing and drainage in such a way that, as soon as the problems and issues related to our uniquely water dependant business are solved, we should be able to utilise the water recycling system for our business, in doing so becoming, perhaps the first hairdressing operation to become environmentally independent of water/sewage utilities.
We are very please to be a part of this special project and anticipate substantial business advantage from our association, but as importantly, it feels right.
