The Nylex Clock, atop the Richmond malt silos, will once again tell Melbourne the time as part of a billion-dollar redevelopment of the site to be known as The Malt District. Kascorp is well underway with completion of the Commercial Tower and the Residential Tower now rising out of ground level.
For many years the Richmond malting site has been known and loved by Melburnians as a strangely beautiful relic of old industry. The vision for the site is to thoughtfully and tactfully respect its heritage architecture, while also introducing a new set of uses that will transform the place into a remarkable destination.
Several of the major heritage buildings will be retained within the precinct and the colour palette incorporates the earthy yellows of barley and the deep browns and greys of factory timber and concrete. This commitment to reflecting the origins of the buildings will transport the site’s rich past into its 21st century transformation.
Tucked into a pocket between Richmond and the Yarra River, Cremorne is already a much-loved space for a significant group of young residents and forward-thinking businesses. Home to a collection of small manufacturers, makers and commercial innovators, the small suburb has remained relatively untouched, surprisingly since it’s so close to the CBD.
Once found Mr Bruce Lu, the man who knows everything (almost, still needs improvement on his parking), Bruce was a breath of fresh air to Kascorp who rarely misses a thing on his estimates. From every detail on every page, to discrepancies in designs from head engineers, Bruce will meticulously scour through the entire project to ensure its as perfect as can be.
However, Anthony’s education in the field allowed him to master his craft and write three bestselling novels on “Why are you doing it wrong?”.
Nick still blesses his lucky stars to this day, after working with the biggest formwork supplier in the world to then joining the Kascorp team after signing an employment contract which he ‘may have’ been informed was a standard site induction form, we’ll let the courts decide on that in the future.
Often described or regarded as the ‘sensible one’ when attending meetings with Joe Kasalo, Ian’s strength is his strong code of ethics and moral stance which leaves him in high regard with anyone he meets as his honesty will always come to the forefront of any issues raised.
From that day on life was on the way up, the Tigers winning the 2019 Premiership Flag and Anthony Edwards not visiting Jim’s site as often due to its proximately from head office or Anthony’s hide out lair.
