OP Properties’ five-storey development, Montreal Commons, will comprise 39 apartments, a ground floor cafe and basement parking, and will be one of the first ever carbon-neutral apartment buildings in Australia.
“Montreal Commons pays homage to the area’s industrial heritage and will contribute to the character of the East Village at Knutsford Mixed-Use precinct, while giving its residents a greener, more sustainable lifestyle,” said OP Properties Co-Founding Director Nic Osboine.
The project, which is expected to set a global benchmark for sustainable apartment design, will use developer-funded 75 kW solar rooftop PVs and local battery storage, topped up with 100 per cent green energy from the grid through local electricity retailer Change Energy.
Montreal Commons is the second lot to be developed as part of DevelopmentWA’s East Village at Knutsford Mixed-Use Precinct, which is a former industrial site in Fremantle.
DevelopmentWA CEO Frank Marra said Montreal Commons would join the growing list of transformative projects catering for Western Australia’s growing population in a sustainable and affordable way.
