22 Waruda Street is an older style residential apartment building consisting of 26 apartments in the exclusive harbourside suburb of Kirribilli. The owners recognised the value of the building due to its location and spectacular views across to the Sydney skyline and Opera House. The building was approaching its maintenance end-of-life and was the subject of a substantial fire order. Rather than spend significant money on repairing and maintaining the building, the owners decided to sell.
Bugden Allen were approached by the building’s sub-committee tasked with selling the building to design a legal framework and administrative process for a collective sale. The owners wanted to effect a collective sale of the lots without engaging in the legislative strata renewal process under Part 10 of the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015. The owners carried out a market-driven process to secure expressions of interest from relevant developers and selected the successful tenderer, Stable Properties, to proceed. Stable Properties is a multi-award winning sustainable developer with a reputation for exemplar luxury residential projects.
Our team developed all the legal documentation to establish the platform, including managing the digital exchanges and settlements of all the contracts on behalf of the individual owners.
Bugden Allen was engaged by the Owners Corporations to coordinate and prepare expert evidence in support of potential building defect litigation. This was detailed against the parties responsible for the development’s construction, in favour of the OCs.
Our role involved working with appropriately qualified independent consultants, reviewing the existing technical material and rectification history, identifying gaps in the available evidence and developing a coordinated approach to further investigation.
Rather than treating each reported issue as a separate maintenance problem, we sought to ensure the experts considered whether the defects were symptoms of broader design, construction or installation issues.
