Project Management services for Stage 2 of The Saleyards redevelopment were awarded to Proven PM following successful completion of the Stage 1 works which comprised of a 14-hectare light industrial and commercial development.
The Stage 2 scheme comprised of a 7,500-square-meter retail development, over two buildings and incorporated environmental remediation of a heritage site. The project delivered premium, large-format retail space and food and beverage facilities, including extensive loading dock infrastructure. In additional to PM services, Proven undertook the role of Tenancy Coordinator to integrate the fitout requirements of incoming tenants with the landlords Contractor.
The Project included development infrastructure upgrades with the completion of a new HV substation and infrastructure future proofing for development expansion on adjacent lots. Proven were engaged to undertake planning feasibility studies on adjacent future development sites to determine if any associated infrastructure works could be accommodated within the project scope.
Proven in collaboration with the Contractor and Consultant team, successfully managed the complexities of working in a sensitive, active environment, ensuring minimal disruption to businesses and the surrounding community to deliver this landmark large format retail development on behalf of their valued client, ARG. Proven was the interface for project stakeholders for all internal and external communications for the construction phase of the project. Relationship management was an integral component to the delivery of the project within an existing operational commercial development.
Proven managed the project from early feasibility through design development, tender and construction phases. Working collaboratively with Hames Sharley Architects, the landlord and tenant design briefs were developed and realised with Practical Completion in late 2024.
