Two local, family-owned businesses have joined forces as they set to officially open Noosaville’s newest iconic development along Weyba Road.
The architecturally pleasing property, featuring the friendly faces from Team Body Corporate and Stay Property Group, will be a shared workspace for local businesses and include a new coffee shop for the community to enjoy.
Team Body Corporate owners Andrew and Marianne Davidson, previously known as Noosa District Body Corporate Management, built the new property at 195 Weyba Road, Noosaville.
“We bought the company in 2015 and it has been part of Noosa for 30 years. The new premises provides fabulous exposure for the business and really brings body corporate management to the street. Typically these type of business’ are hidden away in office buildings in back streets, we intend to raise the whole profile of the industry.“ Mr Davidson said.
“We have great connections in Noosa, managing over 200 schemes between Caloundra and 1770 and employing a team of 14 Sunshine Coast people.
“For the new building we’ve engaged Sunshine Coast tradies, and, where possible, we’ve sourced products from companies that are based in Noosa.
“We have used quality materials in the build because we wanted to make it iconic, in keeping with what the old building was but with a super modern look.” The building is powered by a 30 kW solar system.
Mr Davidson keeps himself busy with not only leading Team Body Corporate, but also being on the board of Strata Community Association for Queensland, and two national bodies, the National Education Committee and the National Insurance Taskforce.
The local company is involved in supporting local disability charity, Sunshine Butterflies, and has recently been nominated for the Biosphere Award for assisting with the solar system project in a collaborative effort with Noosa Lakes Resort.
Thriving on community spirit is something the company shares with their downstairs neighbours, Stay Property Group, led by general manager Liam Kennedy and principal seller Liam Anlezark.
Growing up in the Noosa shire since the age of three, Mr Anlezark is well respected in the community and prides himself on giving back, particularly in his role as the long-standing club custodian of the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club, with its strong community connections.
His business partner and old footy mate, Mr Kennedy, has been active and influential in the Noosa area accommodation industry for many years, creating the perfect recipe to form their boutique real estate agency.
“We’re very grateful to Andrew and Marianne for the opportunities to kick the goals that we have been lately and become the anchor tenant downstairs in such an iconic building,“ Mr Anlezark said.
“The new age of real estate, people are sick of the stereotypical rubbish, so there’s been a good opportunity for us to shine.
“We all come from a sporting background, so we have a personal accountability in not wanting to let your mates or your team down.
“Real estate is a team sport, you just cannot manage the volume of inquiry and interest in properties solely.“
The team had a record sales month in September, including over 400 inspections and enquiries just through realestate.com and Domain.
“We started the company and still work inside the business, including my partner Claire, and Liam’s partner Tess. So we’re in there and driving it as well,“ Mr Kennedy said.
Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart will be joined by 100 community members to toast the opening of the building on Friday 22 October.
The launch will feature a charity auction with great prizes from local businesses to raise funds for Sunshine Butterflies.
The new coffee shop, Perky Turkey, is open to the public and features top quality coffee from local company, First Batch.
