| LORD MAYOR SIGNS OFF ON THE ECLIPSE DEVELOPMENT |
6/4/2007 3:30:11 PM |
|
Last Friday, Wollongong’s Lord Mayor, Councilor Alex Darling, conducted the “topping out” ceremony for the city’s newest apartment and retail development, The Eclipse, which will be a major tourism boost for the city.
Standing on top of the nine-storey building, the Lord Mayor will sign a structural column which contains the signatures of many of the project’s construction workers.
“Combining residential apartments, serviced apartments and retail, our project is the first of its kind in Wollongong, and today’s ceremony marks the completion of the building’s structure,” said Managing Director of the Quantum Group, Peter Gribble.
Located on the corner of Market and Corrimal Streets, The Eclipse is close to Crown Street Mall, and the beach. The Eclipse will have 71 serviced apartments operated by Medina Apartment Hotels, 30 residential apartments, along with retail outlets and cafés offering alfresco dining. The upper levels of The Eclipse offer panoramic views of the ocean, the Illawarra escarpment, the WIN Entertainment Centre and WIN Stadium.
“Having already completed the award winning Fairways and Pavilions City Beach complex, this project further demonstrates the Quantum Group’s confidence in Wollongong’s future and its growing tourism potential,” said Mr Gribble.
“The Eclipse will add to the variety of 4 star accommodation and meeting facilities available in the city as well as adding to the availability of quality rental properties. There has already been a great deal of interest in the project and even though it’s only half complete, 60% of the more than 100 apartments have already been sold,” Mr Gribble added.
Features of the development for residents and guests include:
• Gymnasium
• Swimming pool
• Three conference rooms, theatre style capacity for up to 110 people
• Car parking
With work now continuing on the installation of services and fitting out the apartments, the project is on track for completion early next year.
Quantum is seeking expressions of interest from quality café and restaurant operators who would also provide room service for the Medina Apartments.
The Eclipse combines the skills of the Quantum Group, construction company St Hillier’s and Medina Apartment Hotels.
