Lift Replacement

The old Astra lift has had it's day and it’s time to usher in a new era in Astra lift history! Over a ten-week period we will be replacing the old lift with a new model, fitted out with a sophisticated interior that compliments the timeless Astra aesthetic. A few of the residents marked the occasion with a photo shoot and video (available to view on our Facebook and Instagram pages) to farewell the old lift.

On Monday, October 21st, it was all hands on deck as our shiny new lift motor soared up to the lift room on top of the building. Campbell Parade turned into a traffic control extravaganza, complete with boom gates and flashing lights. Although the wind delayed the works a little, the job was completed well before schedule. Several residents braved the cold to watch the entire setup from about 7 pm to 11 pm while those in the front units had a VIP view of the show!

A huge thankyou to the crane crew, the army of traffic controllers, and the TKE contractors for making it all happen. Onwards and upwards to the next phase!
