So that means this is definitely being built?

In this economic climate nothing is definate. The latest news just means that the project is still alive. There have been no major sales promotions and no real news on the pre-committment level for the apartments.

I certainly hope that it goes ahead - by the time it is completed there will be more optimsism around and maybe more money.

Even when the site is cleared there are no guarantees (ie look at the Hills building + the 6-8 cleared sites in the CBD that have come to a stop).

But once the building site gets a crane, then I will get excited!

hills had a crane...temporary, but it was pretty large

So... 6 weeks until construction commences. We should have a countdown on the front page

I'm still a little sceptical on this one too.

Well yes and no.

It is penciled in for May 15th (I assume 2009).

But after literally 20 delays I would not be surprised if this does not occur.

So no news on who the builder is? Baulderstone have some hoarding up on the king william side still.

Also the fly through has been updated. Nothing much has changed apart from the "W" on the Westpac building. Looks like there is no longer ground floor retail/cafe and has dead street frontage? I hope this is a wrong observation.

Lol another update - another delay.

It looks like we are nearly at the end of the design work and we have been informed that within the next 6 weeks we will be able to announce the builder for the project and the construction timetable. At this stage construction is estimated to start in June 2009 and the construction timetable is 23 months so completion is set for mid 2011.

Suprise Suprise..

• Following up interested buyers as a result of the statistical reports detailing activity for each property campaign

How the marketing campaign material was implemented:
Property Research News, General Newsletters and Interest Rate Updates: Property research and news was emailed to a database of buyers allowing them to easily review the data, satisfy their due diligence and make an informed buying decision.

Website registration forms:
Automated permission based forms allow buyers to register their interests, specifically stating what type of property, price range and area they are interested in. Lead sheets were automatically delivered to the sales team allowing instant follow up. All details are also uploaded onto central databases that can be segmented and targeted based on profile and interests.

Project updates:
Buyers receive regular emails that have personalised content specific to their properties of interest. Buyers can view pictures, video tours, information, request inspections and link directly through to the web page for more information.

Live pricing availability
Agents and sales people were able to go online and see the latest availability at any time of the day or night giving them the opportunity to see clients outside of working hours and close sales right there and then with the purchaser.

Results
Spire Living grew a client database of over 4,000 interested purchasers in a period of only 6 months that we were able to effectively market to with emails, brochures and 3D animations being sent electronically to them to give them confidence in the property they were looking to purchase. Purchasers came from local buyers, interstate and international proving the camapign methodology and marketing material created was exactly what was required for the successful marketing of the units.
