We’re thrilled to add an exciting new project to our 2023 project portfolio with Up Property appointing Kapitol Group to the redevelopment of building 4 within the iconic Phillip Morris factory site in Moorabbin, Victoria.
What once used to be a busy cigarette factory is now being transformed into a precinct that’s already home to creative spaces, offices, cafes, foodie hubs, a brewery, childcare centre and more – all within landscaped grounds and open green spaces.
"Kapitol's drive for excellence and their solutions-based approach is what stood out for us as we continue our vision for Morris Moor."
-Adam Davidson, Managing Director, Up Property
Due for completion later this year, the building 4 we’re working on involves the adaptive reuse of the former factory into an additional 17,000 sqm of new offices, warehousing, and hospitality venues. Key highlights include:
- New west and east entrances with feature stairs
- 350m2 of new skylights to illuminate the new glazed and feature tiled corridors
- New trademark entrance from Cochranes Road with updated landscape profile
- New mechanical and electrical services throughout
- An upgrade to existing fire services.
