Credited for steering Subiaco into an exciting new era and serving as a major catalyst for change in the oft maligned inner city suburb, ONE Subiaco by Blackburne Property Group has taken out the top gong at the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA WA) Awards for Excellence 2023.

It secured the coveted Russel Perry Award for Urban Development Excellence at the weekend, chosen from all category winners on the night as the best urban development of the year.

The luxury development, located on the former Pavillion Market site, also won in the Apartments (High Rise) category.

Offering a mix of apartment living and mixed‐use commercial tenancies, including trendy new hotspot Subi Continental on the ground floor, the development brought about 500 new residents to the long-suffering suburb.

Blackburne founder and managing director Paul Blackburne said it was good to receive recognition for a really transformative project in WA.
