Mandalay off to flying start

June 2009

The Shire of Mitchell’s master-planned development ‘Mandalay at Beveridge’, is off to a flying start with sales exceeding expectation during its first few months of release to the market.

Over 50 percent of stage one has sold with just 12 remaining and all available golf course fronting home-sites sold out, as buyers across Melbourne continue to turn their attention to this exclusive new community.

With a quality mix of stock options available including home-sites ranging from 476sqm to 731sqm and prices from $126,000,buyers, have embraced the vision for this benchmark project.

Buyers have been particularly impressed by the limited golf fronting home-sites that will offer views of the 18-hole Thompson Perrett designed golf course, right on their front doorstep.

Among some of the most affordable golf-fronting land in Victoria, the remaining prestigious home-sites will not last long as buyers are keen to snap up the unique opportunity to claim an architecturally designed golf course as their backyard vista.

While living nestled among an 18-hole golf course is a bonus, other attractions of the estate include access to vast open spaces and landscaped parks as well as onsite clubhouse ‘Club Mandalay’, providing a central hub to meet and mingle.

Mandalay will be a greener community with the delivery of recycled water set to ensure gorgeous gardens are maintained throughout the year, while also pleasing the visual senses will be an array of sculptural urban works including the already installed entrance sculpture by James Parrett.

Buyers have been duly impressed by the lifestyle opportunity with onsite amenity including a proposed school site, commercial precinct as well as a resident gymnasium, swimming pool and tennis courts to enjoy.

Sales have indicated Mandalay will welcome a range of residents with a combination of first, second and third home buyers acknowledging this fantastic opportunity to move up a rung in the home-ownership ladder and expand their ownership prospects.

Residents from across Melbourne are choosing Mandalay for their future home, due to the large land provisions and on-site resident benefits, not satisfied with the cramped land available within neighbouring suburbs including Craigieburn, which is located 10 minutes south of Mandalay.

It seems prospective buyers are keen to upgrade to the bigger and better home-sites on offer and relish in the opportunity to live at the state-of-the-art master planned community.

Promising to build strong ties with the local community, Mandalay is already engaging with the local Beveridge Primary School in a community sculpture project, as well as forming a two year exclusive sponsorship with the Beveridge Pony Club, funding vital new equipment and sponsoring open days and competitions, breathing new life into the club.

Mandalay development manager, Rod Binedell, said the development will offer residents more than simply a place to live, but a comprehensive and safe community in the years to come.

“ Here at Mandalay we are working hard to ensure that we foster ongoing relationships with local businesses, schools and clubs.

“ We see the value in developing the local community network so we want to ensure that Mandalay can grow within this network.”

Mr Binedell said the strong sales to date reflect the quality of the development and suggest that buyers are impressed with what’s on offer.

“ We have been extremely pleased with the amount of interest stage one has received, buyers are impressed with the abundance of first class amenity available and are keen to secure a home-site within the Mandalay community.
