| Beacon Builders Heights further with a potential apartment building for a vacant 4,500 square metre lot on the property. “We have one large lot left on this estate that we kept as a potential apartment building,” he says. “I wasn’t sure when we’d be able to develop that in terms of the market, and I think that’s something we’d like to develop later this year. The site already has preliminary Council approval for 40 apartments.” Though their options are open in 2015, Beacon Builders will be seeking out a new project to take on when and where the opportunity presents itself. “We’ll be looking for another project in 2015 to start the process,” Peter explains. “We’ll start speaking to the agents and see what’s available and where the opportunities lie.” In their many years as a leading boutique developer, Beacon Builders has always been a family business, with Peter and the lateHoward Beaconsfield at the helm together for 28 years. According to Peter, it appears that the familial torch will continue to shine brightly in the future as well. “I have two sons who now wish to work with me as I worked with my father,” he says with pride. “I can say that my father taught me property development and it’s a credit to him that this project won an award. If I too can pass on my skills to my sons, that’s something I’d feel would be useful and rewarding.”
