11 Royal Street Chatswood
Project Overview
Stemar Group Projects was engaged to revitalise 11 Royal Street Chatswood, a dated commercial office property in the heart of Chatswood. Our scope focused on delivering flexible, compliant, and appealing tenancy-ready spaces to attract modern businesses and professionals.
Project Story
Reimagining Workspace for the Modern Era
11 Royal Street Chatswood presented a unique opportunity: to reposition an aging office building into a modern and versatile commercial asset. The goal was to improve leasability, comfort, and code compliance without structural redevelopment.
We developed a staged program that balanced aesthetic transformation with essential upgrades — all delivered with minimal disruption to existing tenants and within tight lease-driven deadlines.
- Full-Scale Interior Refurbishment
We transformed outdated office interiors into bright, contemporary commercial suites ready for tenancy. Scope included demolition, new ceiling grids, flooring, and all interior finishes. - Multi-Zone Office Planning
Delivered flexible layouts with open work zones, private meeting rooms, hot-desking hubs, and breakout areas to suit a range of tenant types. - Base Building Compliance Upgrades
Upgraded building services to comply with fire, disability, and energy efficiency standards — including emergency egress lighting and DDA-compliant amenities. - Turnkey Tenant Amenities
Installed brand-new kitchenettes, bathrooms, and end-of-trip facilities to elevate leasing appeal and improve tenant wellbeing.
