Prominent Perth developer Adrian Fini is planning a $26-million boutique apartment project on the former site of his six-bedroom mansion.
With views of Swan River, the project at 8 Bindaring Parade at Claremont—one of the city’s most desirable residential locations—comprises nine luxury residences designed by Giorgi Architects and Builders.
Fini’s former mansion, last sold in 2007, has been demolished to make way for the proposed three-storey development.
The new plans build on a previous approval granted in 2020 for six apartments and two townhouses.
The updated design increases the yield to nine apartments—eight three-bedroom raning in size from 225sqm to 247sqm and one four-bedroom of of 491sqm—while maintaining the same bulk and scale.
Architect Danny Giorgi said the design reflected consideration of the site’s surroundings and local planning.
Giorgi said the project set a “precedent for quality medium-density living” and that the river and escarpment were “essential aspects of the site and design response”.
“All apartments incorporate multiple outdoor living areas, including an internal private courtyard, which pulls natural light and ventilation into ... each dwelling throughout the day,” Giorgi said.
Sustainability was a key focus of the project, Giorgi said, with the development exceeding “best-practice” environmental standards.
Bindaring Parade, long regarded as one of Claremont’s most prestigious streets, reflects the suburb’s evolution towards medium-density, high-end living.
Recent boutique developments such as Lucent Claremont and The Terraces highlight growing demand for premium housing in Perth’s western suburbs, where median house prices regularly exceed $2 million, according to data from Belle Property.
Public consultation for the project is due to close on January 6.
