6 stories of luxury in Armadale!

After a previous scheme fell short at VCAT, Tango Projects was brought on board to procure a fresh new scheme and push the perceived limit for height.

We are excited to announce that alongside Human Habitats and Cera Stribley, we successfully struck the delicate balance between authorities’ competing concerns including heritage facade retention and vehicular access, and obtained DA for full targeted height where it was previously elusive.

Cheers to overcoming challenges, embracing innovation, and turning setbacks into successes! We can’t wait to see this development come to life!

Luxury in Armadale

We are thrilled to share we have secured a planning permit for this groundbreaking 16-storey project in Clayton. Read the The Urban Developer article here: Developer’s Clayton Tower Rethink Wins Approval | The Urban Developer.

A huge shoutout to A Different City Jonathon Fetterplace for his pivotal role in our ingenuitive approach to the application, working collaboratively with the Monash City Council.
Major kudos to the talented team at Cera Stribley for their exceptional design that not only pushed boundaries but challenged the status quo.

This permit is a testament to our commitment to pushing boundaries and overcoming challenges as we defy norms in an area where council guidelines usually limit heights to 10 storeys. Clayton is a major growth area and the increased density on this site will provide great amenity and create sustainable outcomes for the future of Melbourne.

We can’t wait to bring this innovative project to life!

We are pleased to share the successful completion of Stage 1 for the David Jones Ground Floor Beauty & Shopfront refurbishment project at Bourke Street Mall.

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is almost here!
From May 27th to June 3rd, Australians will come together to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements. This year’s theme, “Be a Voice for Generations,” encourages all of us to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways, wherever we live, work, and socialise.
 
At Tango Projects, we are passionate about making a difference, and we’re excited to support the “Remote Op-Shop Project,” an initiative that helps support independent, locally-owned op shops in Aboriginal communities throughout remote Australia (WA & NT). The funds from these op shops go towards community projects that enhance the health and well-being of the community. To support this amazing initiative, we’ll have donation boxes set up in our Melbourne and Brisbane offices. Our team will bring any pre-loved items of clothing, hats, and footwear, and we’ll send them directly to the Remote Op-Shop Project. Let’s make a difference together!

We couldn’t have achieved this without the exceptional work from all of those involved but in particular McCormack and Studio 103.
Of course, special mention to Artifex Property Group for having the foresight and ambition to challenge and create better working spaces.  Thank you for your contribution to the successful completion of this project.

It wouldn’t be a Tango experience without having some fun too.

Phillip Island Conference 2023

The results are in!
Team Tango have raised over $15,000 for Connor’s Run! This is a cause very close to our hearts and we plan to make our fundraising efforts bigger and better next year.

A special message from Tango’s ‘People and Culture Manager’ Natasha Waters:
“When Tango decided to take on Connors Run and support this cause, we underestimated the connection we would have to it.
We just took it on as a challenge to raise as much awareness and money as possible as a team. Plus we thought it would be a great day for the team to come together and push us outside of our comfort zones.
Having a son with a brain tumour, meant that supporting Connors Run was always close to us, and gave us the extra bit of energy to push as hard as we could to fundraise.
On the day, our family of 4 took part in the run, along with other members of Tango. Our son Billy was so excited for the event, and he rode off on his bike with the first runners to start the race.
It was a day filled with so much unexpected emotion – I underestimated the feeling of being part of a cause that supported our son and his journey to date. More than ever, I felt so proud that our team have chosen to get behind this cause and support it, but at the same time it was a feeling of happiness, determination, and gratitude, rather than sadness.
I can’t wait to be involved with the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation in the future”.

Another successful early learning centre completed by Tango Projects.

Developing and building modern childcare centres for the next generation is complex. This centre offers a holistic education program, fostering mindfulness, social and emotional wellbeing in little people aged 6 weeks to school age.

From design to completion, the project duration was 19 months.

Despite the challenges associated with unprecedented rainfall, “The Eden Academy” located in Albury, was completed in October 2022. We proudly note that subsequent licensing by the Department, was achieved with no building related issues. A good news story!

We were excited to attend the community launch of the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay, QLD over the weekend.

Jointly funded by the State and Federal Governments, Harrup Park and the Mackay Cricket Club, the GBRA is a community sports and broadcasting venue, boasting some of the best regional cricket and AFL – Australian Football League facilities in Australia.

Tango has led the project since the masterplan stage, ensuring the elite sports and broadcasting requirements were delivered successfully, whilst also driving a focus on community engagement and involvement.

Further to our role as Project Manager, we are proud to have implemented a scheme allowing for consultants and contractors on the project to purchase mature trees for planting around the venue. With the goal of providing enhanced shade for visitors and enabling those involved in the project to leave their mark and obtain some recognition of their hard work throughout the long and complex project design and construction.
