Restoration

Adaptive reuse

Fife Capital has considerable experience in the repositioning and adaption of buildings for contemporary commercial applications.  

As a cornerstone of our sustainability policies, we look to retain the essential character of old buildings and repurpose them for efficient commercial uses. 

Fife Capital has shown that it can: 

  • consistently generate post-improvement yields on cost,
  • accelerate re-leasing and extend occupant retention rates,
  • maintain maintenance expenditure within industry bands, and
  • reduce ambient building power consumption.

Importantly, we look to build a financial case around adaption, preservation, reuse of materials and reduction in carbon demand. This is socially desirable, environmentally compelling, and commercially sound. 

Commitment to heritage restoration

Brisbane’s former Metro Arts Theatre building (pictured, left) is a signature example of Fife Capital’s commitment to restoration and adaptive reuse, and one of seven significant restoration projects undertaken by the Group, throughout Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.  

Brisbane’s former Metro Arts Theatre building provided an opportunity to sympathetically convert a heritage asset into a prestige building with enhanced operational efficiency able to command high commercial rent.
