Nexus Norwest - History, Features, Location & Management
Nexus Norwest - HistoryConstruction of Nexus Norwest commenced in October 2006 and was completed in early 2008. Nexus Norwest is 9,500m2 commercial office building across seven floors. Developed by Capital Corporation and built by Watpac, almost all business suites were sold before completion or very soon thereafter, reflecting tremendous interest in the developer's latest premium offering. The property has also been popular with investors and most of those investors have been able to achieve very early take up of their properties.
The Nexus Norwest building was officially opened by Clr Sonya Philips, Mayor of Baulkham Hills Council on 18 April 2008 in front of an audience of approximately 150 owners, tenants, Councillors, agents and the press, as well as members of the teams of contractors involved in the construction of the building.
Nexus Norwest - FeaturesNexus Norwest represents the new age in commercial strata development. The building has been fitted out with an integrated managed network and advanced internet protocol telephony system from Cisco. Tenants are able to quickly set up their own secure network. In fact, tenants can choose to outsource the entire provisioning of a managed data network or choose a bespoke solution. By taking advantage of the systems and technology built in to the building, a tenant moving in to Nexus can be set up and ready to go with a minimum of time and fuss. In addition, many tenants are finding the systems available in the building much more cost effective than sourcing their own providers. Office Squared, through its online portal, is also able to support tenants with IT, communications and support staff services.
Basically, Nexus allows smaller businesses to take advantage of the facilities generally only available to much more substantial businesses at relatively low cost. Nexus features its own café, the Nexus Café, that is becoming a destination in itself for business people from around the business park. The building also has a gymnasium, Focus Health & Fitness, which has already become very popular with building tenants. A concierge at reception is available to assist guests to the building to tenants' suites, manage bookings of the communal meeting rooms and deal with day to day enquiries from tenants and guests. The building foyer features its own business lounge where tenants are welcome to conduct informal business. There are also meeting rooms with IT facilities available for tenants to use for meetings. Servcorp is also a major tenant of the building and offers a range of serviced office solutions to tenants of the building as well as those from outside the building requiring serviced office space. Nexus is a first class building, offering all the services one would expect out of any city office property.
Nexus Norwest - LocationNexus is located at 4 Columbia Court in Norwest Business Park just off the round- about where Columbia Court meets Norwest Boulevarde, opposite the Crowne Plaza hotel and within very easy walking distance of cafes, waterfront restaurants, the post office, all major banks, the shopping centre and child care facilities. The Castle Hill Country Club is only one street away.
Norwest Business Park is a 377-hectare development in Baulkham Hills/Bella Vista in Sydney's northwest suburbs, with excellent links via the M2 and M7 motorways to the Sydney CBD and airport, as well as the industrial and distribution hubs in Sydney's western suburbs. Norwest is home to a number of Australia's leading companies, including the headquarters for Woolworths and ResMed. It will shortly have its own private hospital, two “town centre” developments anchored by major supermarkets, in addition to the 30+ strata titled properties that are home to many smaller businesses and a large number of single user properties. In total, some 30,000 workers are based in Norwest, with that number set to rapidly increase, as further development is completed.
Nexus Norwest - ManagementThe building has its own concierge who is able to deal with many of the day-to-day issues arising at Nexus.
The property is actively strata managed by Beaumont Strata Management, the company that manages almost all strata titled properties in Norwest Business Park and in Castle Hill. As strata managers, Beaumont Strata Management handles all matters arising in relation to the maintenance and management of the building and works closely with those onsite to ensure that all users get the most out of the building. Beaumont Strata Management is located just around the corner from Nexus and is regularly on site to ensure that Nexus receives the attention such a property requires to maintain its reputation as one of the most prestigious properties in Norwest and beyond.
As you would expect from a building vying for the title of Australia's most intelligent strata office building, Nexus has been fully equipped with a building management system that controls the majority of the public facilities (lights, air-conditioning, irrigation etc) within the building. Beaumont Strata Management controls this system.
