This announcement marks an exciting chapter in the area’s ongoing transformation, as this will be the first significant residential block introduced into the neighbourhood.

As part of this transformation, Maritime Place – Rawson Developers’ new residential project – serves as a beacon of modern living in this historically industrial area. It harnesses the area’s unique charm and advantageous location, providing a residential experience that combines the best of both urban living and historical ambience.
