A huge heartfelt thanks. I have so enjoyed working with you all and can honestly say it has been a highlight to deliver this project with such an amazing construction team. You all have been so special and terrific to work with in some challenging situations. Continuing to openly collaborate and question at every step has culminated in such a wonderful outcome. I know our organisation will be so proud of this building. More than anything know that you have played an amazing and impactful part in our future residents’ journeys where they will now have a safe and secure home to allow time and space for continued healing. I truly thank you all for the joy you have brought on working on this project and I will actually miss working with you!

YWCA Apartments located at 17-19 Hutt Street is an 8-level mixed-use building and flagship project for not-for profit organisation, YWCA. Located on a tight 337m2 lot, bounded by 2 roads and significant street trees, this was a complex but rewarding project handed over in early 2025. The building offers 24 apartments with a range of 1 to 3 bedroom options, a shared terrace space on level 6, and a ground floor area incorporating a 95m2 commercial tenancy with street frontage. Bike storage is provided for tenants on the ground floor in lieu of on-site vehicle parking to encourage occupants to embrace the city-living lifestyle.

YWCA is a proudly feminist not-for-profit organisation that advocates for bold, systemic change and working to ensure all women feel safe and secure in a home of their choice. Tandem were not only vested in delivering a quality product for our client but were also overjoyed to see this organisation take possession of a facility that will benefit vulnerable local women.
