There has been unprecedented demand for office space in Norwest recently, which is no wonder when you consider the generous parking ratio, complemented by a business park environment that encourages modern building design and focuses on employee amenity. Norwest also offers a convenient location for residents within Sydney’s fastest growing residential precinct Northwest Sydney.

The Property

Capital purchased the site as tenants in common with BBraun and subdivided the site under the partitioning arrangement, which alleviated the partners from payment of double Stamp Duty. BBraun’s site was developed into their new headquarters, whilst Capital still retains 10,000m2 of land for future development.

BBraun’s building design was based on their 2010 paperless office concept with basement security car parking and a 2,000m² warehouse/storage plus room for future extension.

This has been completed with a modern façade and pre-cast panels to the warehouse including double glazed windows for the westerly sun with a modern 2010 concept of open office space.

The keynote was the creation of a unified, striking, high class environment that is tailored to BBraun’s management style but at the same time guaranteeing users will feel at home in their work surroundings.

The interior design is characterised by attractive forms and styles, pleasing materials, and a definite feeling of quality.
