One of West End’s more publicised development sites is back in the news today. On the corner of Montague Road and Beesley Street it’s been in and out of the news over the past couple of years with public and legal debate over the various proposals for new apartments. Too high, too many, too much carparking. Then the whole thing fell in a heap.
The developers were placed into receivership some months back but the Courier Mail today reports the site may be under contract to active locals the Pradella group. The developers behind Flow, Water’s Edge and Tempo, Pradella know the Montague Road precinct better than most. If they can’t make this site work then no-one can.

Here’s an exciting 3-in-a-row photo taken over the fence of the Flow development at West End. It shows the freshly dug earth at the Water’s Edge project, the finishing touches going on at Arriva and the cranes over the nearly completed Riverpoint in the distance.
This is an area on the move!

The names of the landmark buildings in the area are household terms. From the original Torbreck perched on Highgate Hill and the 70’s style Donard and Dornoch Towers to West End’s newer developments called Flow, Tempo, Koko, Regatta and there’ll soon be the names Riverpoint and Waters Edge to add to the mix.
Those names spring to mind but have you noticed the shingles proudly hung on the front of some of our stand-alone homes? Whether they’re the sprawling Queenslander to the more modest workers cottage it seems we just love to name where we hang our hats. Walk the streets like we do and you’ll notice Hill End has a higher percentage of named homes than the rest of the area and you’ll notice by the choice of name that the owners probably have different cultural backgrounds.
Here’s just some of them: Wanda Wahla, Caithness, Milo House, Glenelg, Nassagaweya, Blair Holm. Cobden Cottage, Woorilla. Glendale, Hazelbank, Rudston and Hillside.
