DCF Property Group has celebrated the official sod-turning for its $180 million First Light development, a transformative project set to redefine Melbourne's Domain Precinct. The ceremony marks the beginning of construction on these world-class branded residences, which will not only reshape the city's skyline but also deliver significant economic benefits to Victoria.
World-renowned designer Philippe Starck and international property entrepreneur John Hitchcox founded YOO in 1999 and the Nu By YOO luxury hotel, managed by La Vie Hotels and Resorts, is proposed to sit within the First Light development.
The hotel itself will feature 97 luxury rooms and a well known signature Food and Beverage partner. This will join the existing La Vie projects of Forest by Yoo which will be 131 branded residences and an additional 432 room YOO2 Hotel La Vie managed complex in Patong, Phuket Thailand.
The project will be executed by Ironside, a renowned Australian builder specialising in high-end, large-scale developments. Ironside's involvement reflects DCF's commitment to the highest standards of quality and design.
