Local crew on site at Redlands first eco-friendly development in Capalaba

KubUnity presents a mix of one and two-bedroom units designed specifically for first home buyers and owner-occupiers, providing a quality, affordable and sustainable design.

Project director Paul McManus said the inspiration behind the 34 unit eco-friendly residential development was to create more opportunities for home ownership in Redlands.

"I grew up in Redlands and for many years I've observed a large segment of our community priced out of home ownership, even at entry level, due to increasing property values and costs of living," he said.

There will be a 100kW solar system on the roof, offsetting the cost of electricity for owners as well as LED lighting and tinted windows.

"The two-storey design format enables us to keep body corporate to a minimum without sacrificing amenity, with extensive landscaping featured throughout and a private pool and barbecue area for residents and their guests," Mr McManus said.

Contractors on site are all local and dynamic duo Jennifer Louw and Sarah Mulholland from Point to Point Electrical are in charge of getting KubUnity plugged in.

Ms Louw started the business in 2014 mostly due to her strong technical skills and her father having an electrical background.

Ms Mulholland is currently completing her final year in her apprenticeship. Before making the change to the electrical industry she worked in retail for 11 years.

"I joined Jen to do the paper work, two days later I wanted to get involved in the practical side rather," Ms Mulholland said.

The couple said this was the first eco-friendly development they have worked on and had a strong working relationship with Mr McManus.

"I enjoy my work because no job is the same, it's always different and a challenge," Ms Mulholland said.

Ms Louw agreed - "It is always rewarding fixing other people's problems."

Mr McManus said KubUnity is more than 90 per cent sold and he hoped it would be completed by September next year.
