The village is an integrated student, sporting and commercial development. The main section of the works was the construction of 182 student apartments. The majority of these apartments were 4 bedroom units with a smaller number of 6 bedroom units. Initial site works involved large quantities of rock breakout / extensive retaining walls to site boundaries. The structure consisted of both steel and concrete frame, with a combination of finishes to external walls; brick, render, zinc, aluminium curtain walling, cedar cladding, etc. Roof finishes comprised of both trocal and zinc finishes.

Due to the tight programme and phased handovers, weekly coordination meetings were held with all main nominated and domestic subcontractors to review coordination of all works / services, programme, safety and quality issues. The works also include underground carparking, restaurant, bar and conference facilities, indoor and outdoor tennis courts. The total floor area is 34,500m².
