FJM Property

Fremantle remains one of WA’s treasured and unique cities. But, with development at a standstill in recent years, will it be left behind?

A plan for a small bar in Claremont devised by John Poynton, Adrian Fini and The Wine Store’s Robert Bates-Smith has hit a hurdle with local councillors rejecting the initial plan.

New hotel developments in Perth and Fremantle will add up to 2,500 rooms during the next five years, with this number potentially growing to more than 4,000 if several proposed projects go ahead.

FJM Property has begun the leasing campaign for the retail and hospitality component of the State Buildings, part of the $580 million Cathedral and Treasury Precinct.

Significant hurdles remain in meeting both government and consumer demand for urban infill developments.

Perth’s small bar revolution is expected to extend into the east end of the CBD, driven by a wave of major commercial and hotel developments.

Mirvac and Singapore’s Keppel REIT’s $280 million office tower at the Cathedral + Treasury Precinct has hit a key milestone, with the building reaching its highest point at 33 storeys.

The $130 million restoration of Fremantle’s historic Dalgety Wool Stores into luxury warehouse apartments is expected to begin shortly, with developers Match and Sirona Capital passing their 70 per cent pre-sales target.

Developers’ precinct plans have been the driving force behind a revitalised Perth.

It has taken 20 years for FJM Property director Adrian Fini’s vision to become reality, but the doors are open at the first hospitality venue at the Old Treasury Buildings, which have been rebranded as the State Buildings.

Adrian Fini has been appointed to the board of director of the Perth International Arts Festival.

A government that is more responsive to business needs will benefit all investors, not just patient ones.

A collaboration between Victor Goh’s AAIG and Adrian Fini’s private development firm, Fini Group, plans to develop apartments and a hotel at Elizabeth Quay, after offering $85 million for two lots.

The Fini name is returning to Perth’s property sector in a big way, with the Fini Group brand being revived for a series of apartment developments across the city.

Property developer and arts philanthropist Adrian Fini was named on Friday evening as 2016 Western Australian of the Year.

EY has named 13 West Australian finalists in its annual Entrepreneur of the Year awards while also announcing Adrian Fini as its latest Champion of Entrepreneurship.

SPECIAL REPORT: One of Perth’s most prominent names in property has had a transcendent effect on the city in 2016.

Adrian Fini’s development firm FJM Property is gearing up to launch the third stage of its Knutsford Precinct, near Fremantle, which was last year named as one of the best infill projects in the nation by the Australian Institute of Architects. 

National construction outfit Built Holdings will start work shortly on Charter Hall Group’s $240 million redevelopment of Raine Square, after being appointed as primary contractor.

Change is sweeping through front bars and suburban watering holes across the city, with publicans of some of the city’s most recognisable pubs spending up big in efforts to stay relevant in Perth’s rapidly diversifying hospitality sector.

Singaporean-owned property management company CEL Australia has confirmed its first move into Australia’s hotel market, announcing the purchase of The Sebel Mandurah for $15 million.

The private sector has matched public funds dollar for dollar in 2017 to support the Historic Heart of Perth project, which aims to revitalise the east end precinct through public art and streetscape improvements.
