Glenzeil awarded Delfin’s Varsity landmark contracts

Glenzeil Pty Ltd, based on the Gold Coast has a longstanding relationship with Delfin Lend Lease and has been contracted to build signature Varsity Lakes projects  including Market Square, Compaq and Aspect.
Market Square was completed in 2000, and is today the thriving business centre of Varsity Lakes.  The $26 million project includes an office and retail precinct, and set the bar for similar community developments on the Gold Coast.
Aspect @ Varsity is a 3 level office building complete with basement, street level car parking and entry from two streets, Varsity Parade and Bellvue Drive.
Glenzeil was responsible for the Design & Construct of the project.  The work involved constructing 3 suspended concrete slabs around a central lift core, a structural steel framed roof with metal sheeting and guttering, core filled block work and render.

Glenziel was also responsible for delivering a 4 Star Green Star and 4.5 Star AGBR rated project. The process involved in achieving this rating  added many features to the building including bike racks, grey and roof water recycling and the use of double glazing throughout the project.
Compaq was a $5million office development completed in 2000.  The building was designed to house leading IT heavyweights like Boeing, Compaq, AAPT and Cellular One.

Developed by Delfin Lend Lease, Varsity Lakes is an award winning community that provides an innovative mix of residential, commercial, retail, recreational and educational communities within one of the Gold Coast’s most centrally convenient locations.

"Varsity Lakes will continue to grow significantly over the next ten years and I look forward to working with Delfin Lend Lease to deliver other impressive facilities they have planned for the area", said Brian Gabriel, Director of Glenzeil.

Glenzeil's clients include Southern Cross University

In 2009, Glenzeil completed the $14 million development of Building A.

Building ‘A’ is the first of twelve buildings which will form the new Southern Cross University Campus at Gold Coast Airport. The site is situated at the southern end of the airport land and to the east of the main runway.
Building ‘A’ is a four storey multi purpose building which will house the University’s reception and administration offices, student services facilities, library, teaching and lecture rooms as well as an IT Lab. The structure has been changed recently, through discussions with the consultants and Glenzeil, to be predominately precast vertical elements with conventional suspended slabs. The precast was seen to be an advantage in time, cost and guaranteed finish. Woodhead Architects have selected a myriad of external finishes to give the building an eye catching appearance including off form concrete panels, alpolic, curtain walling, louvres and sunshades.
Although this building is not seeking a green star rating certain green start properties have been explored including glazing and sun shading, AC zoning, rainwater harvesting, low flush urinals, automatic light switching to occupied zones and provision of bike storage and changing facilities. There have also been a number of initiatives that were deemed unviable at this time including wind turbines, siphonic drainage, photovoltaic cells and solar hot water.
