Located in the inner Canberra suburb of Turner,
Monarch is a 124 unit apartment complex spread across
two nine storey towers. Monarch offers a range of
exceptionally appointed one, two & three bedroom
apartments with views over the city to Lake Burley
Griffin. The complex also contains a communal pool and
full gym facilities.
Monarch was a negotiated project and was awarded to
PBS Building after we demonstrated our capabilities to
the same client on a previous development.
Monarch was a full design and construct project with
PBS Building taking responsibility from the DA drawings
through to completion, including the writing of the
project brief.
The building is a fully framed, post tensioned concrete
structure with block and rendered façade. As with most
inner
city projects, Monarch was built boundary to
boundary requiring the use of a tower crane to manage
materials 
handling.
One of the most challenging aspects of the project was
the ground works. Even after significant blasting was undertaken, Limestone boulders the size of a family car
still had to be excavated.
