The Construction Journey for Fitzroy Ltd:
Balmain & Co were awarded the construction of Fitzroy Ltd in 2019.
Located a short walk down Gore Street from the Lyric, Fitzroy Ltd is the perfect mix of raw authenticity and an understated elegance combined with an emphasis on city views, light, space and materiality. Consisting of 82 high-end apartments, Fitzroy Ltd sits at 7-levels above ground and features a breath-taking internal courtyard, rooftop garden and a beautifully crafted entrance lobby.
