This design of LJ Hooker offers a retail and commercial building located on a 2540sqm site on the corner of New and Cayuga Streets, Nerang. The development provides shop/office, commercial services and café tenancies, arranged around a central access and amenities core, whilst promoting an active frontage to New Street.

The intricate play of scale, form, material, texture and colour, will help the building relate to as well as enhance the local area vernacular. Generous roof overhangs, together with vertical and horizontal screens provide for solar and wind protection. A feature curved aluminium batten screen to Cayuga Street provides visual interest whilst shielding the building from adjoining motorway traffic noise. The high architectural quality of this development will be a positive and respectful addition to the urban fabric of this emerging neighbourhood.
