Enex Upgrades

ADCO has completed the live refurbishment of Enex, a PCA A-grade mixed-use commercial building that includes a loading dock in the basement, a Woolworths on Level 1, the ENEX retail mall on Level 2, and a 24-floor office tower above. The ENEX mall provides a key pedestrian link between St Georges Terrace and Hay Street in Perth.

The project involved extensive works across the 4 basement levels and 3 retail levels, including a building extension and a new facade. ADCO’s brief outlined maximising unused space and improving the building’s usability for tenants. To achieve this, ADCO constructed a new 8-door lift lobby to Level 2 above the existing lift lobby to the building’s St Georges Terrace entrance.

As the works were conducted within a live and busy inner-city retail environment, our team programmed the works to be executed across 2 shifts spanning 19 hours (from 9 pm to 5 pm), over 19-months. This approach accommodated Woolworths’ and other retail and commercial tenants’ trading hours. ADCO scheduled all noisy and high-risk activities during the night shift to minimise disruptions, including the upgrade of mechanical and electrical services to meet a 4.5-star NABERS rating.

Our team delivered an excellent result for ISPT, enhancing ENEX’s interior, facade and connectivity to both street frontages, as well as maximising its Net Lettable Area.
