Overview
Metropolitan Residences is a 13-storey mixed-use development delivering 125 residential apartments, spanning studios to three-bedroom plus study layouts, above two retail levels and basement parking. Strategically sited on three frontages within St Leonards’ transport corridor, the project features bespoke bronzed steel framing, sawn sandstone detailing, and spacious indoor–outdoor living spaces—culminating in a rooftop communal garden with BBQ and event areas. Developed with Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), Novati collaborated closely with client and architect to optimise energy efficiency, logistics, and material selection, delivering on time and on budget.
