| JMC was done extremely well, and it was done to a standard that we would want to see if we were living there,” he reflects.”That visionwas there from the beginning, and we made sure that common goal was consistent with our architects and other team members without stifling their creativity. I think when you go about things in that way, you come out with a completely different product.” Our architects, IMA, have done a brilliant job and we couldn’t thank them enough. “Sure, it’s commercial, but because we’re a smaller operation, we do things a lot more efficiently and we invest our savings back into our product and overall developments. As such, our clients are getting a far better product and a far better place to live for their money.” JMC isnow looking to replicate that level of success with their latest development, Marque Maribyrnong. “It’s a three-stage projectwith some 380 apartments − one, two, and three bedroom apartments with a landscaped zones, residential lounges, etc.,” Martin explains.”We’re applying the same principles that we would use on a low-rise medium density development to a vertical village.Once again, we designed it based on what we would like to see if we were living there, and by also talking to the clients that live in our previous developments and getting feedback from them.” “This development has various different types of apartments for people with different needs, such as those who want more garden space and outside areas. It’s certainly not a cookie-cutter approach because that would make it a boring place to live. For a development to be successful in the end, you need a good mix of people to live in them. If you have that, then the development has life.”
