April 2014 | Business World Australia | 47 “We wanted the product to be new and innovative, while still looking like it was part of the Sunshine Coast vernacular,” Ben ex- plains. “We didn’t want it to look like it was transplanted from somewhere else.” “John came up with an attractive and sus- tainable series of homes that would bring new home ownership within reach of a lot more people,” Ben says. “He made the Bower series something that was quite aspirational, while still being affordable.” Today, the Bower homes are located di- rectly opposite the community’s award- winning central village park, and adjacent to the neighbourhood centre. They offer airy coastal-style living, with flexible spaces, pri- vate courtyards, top quality finishes, and the choice of two or three bedrooms and car ac- commodation. Bower @ Bells Reach is a unique and in- novative development that demonstrates Stockland’s commitment to being a leader in sustainability and affordability. That lead- ership has not gone unrecognised. In fact, atthe 2013 UDIA Awards for Queensland, it wasrewarded witha victory in the Afford- able Housing category. Later, it went on to win the National Award as well. “That’s a great acknowledgment for Stock- land and for the efforts of our team,” Ben says. “More than that, though, we see these awards as an opportunity to benchmark our work against our competitors at a state level as well as nationally.” “We may think we’ve done a really good job, but until you put yourself out there and have independent third party experts come and inspect what you’ve done, you can’t re- ally be absolutely sure how innovative it is,” INDUSTRY RECOGNISED At Eureka, we understand the importance of working as a partner with our clients.
