33 Mackenzie Street is a prominent residential development located in Melbourne’s east-end CBD. The 31-level tower comprises 396 one and two-bedroom apartments, contributing to the city’s urban residential landscape.​

As part of Victoria’s ongoing efforts to address combustible cladding issues, Casello was engaged as the primary builder to undertake cladding rectification works at this address. The scope included replacing non-compliant aluminium composite panels (ACP) across balconies, entries, and shared common areas. Given the building’s height and location, access solutions involved a combination of scaffolding, swing stages, elevated work platforms (EWPs), and rope access. Fairview’s Vitracore G2 was selected for all ACP replacements, aligning with compliance and safety standards.

Defining the convenience of apartment living with an unexpected luxury of space.

OTHER PROJECTS
RACV Cape Schanck

Located at the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, the RACV Cape Schanck Resort is a five-star retreat, unified by a sculptural building form that integrates with the surrounding coastal terrain with a material palette selected to endure harsh environmental conditions while delivering refined finishes. External works centred on the installation of Corten weathering steel cladding, a defining feature of the building’s curved façade. Panels were custom-fabricated and installed over complex geometry, with detailing designed to manage patina development and withstand coastal exposure. Internally, Casello delivered carpentry and finishing works across guest, public, and service areas. This included door and frame systems, many with acoustic and fire-rated requirements, skirting, hardware, and timber elements integrated with high-spec finishes.

Queens Place

Queens Place is an 80-storey residential development offering high-rise living with premium amenities and design integration. It is one of Melbourne’s tallest residential buildings, with over 800 apartments, multiple podium levels, and extensive shared facilities. With an emphasis on refined finishes and functional durability, the tower’s internal fitout demanded disciplined coordination and technical execution across all built elements, from base build to final handover. Carpentry was delivered throughout the tower, including door and frame installations across residential, service, and back-of-house zones, comprising fire- and acoustic-rated door sets, full-height architectural doors, and compliant frames and seals, installed in accordance with regulatory and performance requirements. Hardware packages, including locks, closers, seals, and privacy fittings, were integrated concurrently, ensuring uniformity and functionality across all units and shared spaces. Sanitary fittings and internal carpentry items were delivered in tandem with the main fitout program. Close coordination with other trades, particularly mechanical, electrical and wet area contractors, was critical to achieving consistent handover standards across more than 80 levels of residential construction.
