Chiara is the perfect blend of active waterfront recreation and affordable urban lifestyle.
Inside & Out
Refined interiors include spacious, open plans with over-height ceilings. The casual-chic of West Coast Modern design is evident throughout. Features such as hand-scraped floors, travertine tiles, petrified wood and a natural color palette combine to create a feeling of sophistication and serenity. Technology and energy efficiency have not been overlooked. Gas ranges, fireplaces, ‘on-demand’ water heaters and heated bathroom floors add to the overall pleasure of being pampered at home.
The urbane west coast influence is evident in the exterior design and architectural elements including cedar accents and a natural stone facade. A roof-top terrace featuring a green-roof environment and large balconies extend the living space to a scenic outdoor experience overlooking the Gorge waterway. Ground level patios open onto a large rain garden frontage bordered by wonderfully scented cedar fencing and trellises.

News
March 2018
The lack of on-site activity belies the fact that there is still progress being made at an operational level.
We have been ready to proceed to the next phase since last December. However we have to wait for the appropriate contractors in order to move on. This is a complicated building, as it's one of the very few condo buildings within Victoria that have a two storey parkade and roof top garden. This means there are very few structural concrete specialists who can deal with this type of construction. Our structural contractor has been delayed with his previous job resulting in starting Chiara later than what he had anticipated.
Our contractor intends to be on site later this month to start the foundations. We will be moving the sales office onto the site as soon as the pad is prepared. This will all be done within the next few weeks.
Sales are surpassing expectations and all existing clients will have noticed substantial increases from their original purchase price.

Even though it may seem that not much building is going on at the site we want you to know that we have been digging like crazy. We think we have blasted and removed enough rock to build the legislative buildings again. We have now gone deep enough so that we can start framing for the concrete footings of the foundation walls. When the concrete footings are done we will frame for the concrete foundation perimeter walls and framing the forms for the two story parkade.
You will see from the current prices advertised on this site that all prices in Chiara have increased significantly based on current market conditions in Victoria and the high demand for quality condo developments like Chiara. I am sure that you who have already purchased are pleased with this and you should congratulate yourselves for investing in Chiara.
Please come back to this page for updates. We will try to post at least once a month.
