We’re pleased to share that our 402 Macaulay Road, Kensington project has officially topped out —marking a major construction milestone for Assemble’s first Build-to-Rent project.
Whilst construction commenced in late 2023, it has recently been award funding by Housing Australia under its Housing Australia Future Fund Facility which enables us to increase the number of social and affordable homes we are delivering.
Celebrating alongside project partners on the rooftop of the north-western building, Managing Director Kris Daff acknowledged the collaboration that brought the project to this point: “topping out at 402 Macaulay Road marks a proud moment, driven by the strength of our partnerships across the public and private sectors.”
Development Manager James Niven acknowledged the depth of collaboration behind the project's construction journey.
