Project Update // 100 Franklin Street, Melbourne
Journal Student Living’s 39-storey Market Way tower is rising in Melbourne’s CBD, delivering 1,035 student accommodation beds and forming a key part of the Queen Victoria Market precinct’s revitalisation.
Casello is supplying and installing temporary works and project-wide carpentry across all levels, including doors, fire doors, hardware, and skirtings. We are also undertaking the installation of 1,035 pre-built bathroom pods, utilising on-floor plant and logistics to position each unit.
Additionally, within the adjacent five-storey Burbank House, we are working through the heritage works, including rectifying the original joists and trusses to meet new engineering specifications.

Project Completion // St. Clare, Kew
Located at 3 Fernhurst Grove, Kew, St. Clare is a 1.4-hectare premium retirement living precinct developed by VMCH, where two heritage mansions have been restored to their former glory and transformed into shared resident spaces, alongside the construction of four new apartment blocks housing 104 luxurious residences with five-star facilities.
Within the heritage buildings, our team restored roof framing, fully constructed dormers, reframed heritage stairs, installed subfloor framing, before completing internal feature hardwood door jambs, doors, and custom hardware, skirting, architraves, and bullnosing. Being part of the restoration with such high-end detail really showcased the craftsmanship of our exceptional team of carpenters.
Across the four new apartment buildings, Casello constructed the mansard-roof trusses and delivered the internal carpentry fit-out on each level, including the supply and installation of fire-rated, feature, and timber doors, skirtings, and custom door and sanitary hardware. In the pavilion and shared amenity spaces, our team constructed subfloor framing, installed architectural veneer wall panelling in the residents’ lounges and dining spaces, and delivered feature metal-clad ceilings, with sanitary and hardware installations throughout the luxe amenities.
This was a great project to deliver, with the quality of craftsmanship and materials evident throughout.

Project Complete // Frankston Hospital
The Frankston Hospital redevelopment has officially opened as Peninsula University Hospital, marking the completion of one of the largest health infrastructure developments in Victoria’s south-east.
Casello is proud to have installed the external cladding for the new Emergency Department. Our team supplied and installed 410 linear metres of Tempio terracotta square baguettes over the emergency signage, integrated with Tempio terracotta cladding.
Additionally, Casello installed 472 m² of Zintl castellated cladding to the low level Emergency Department facade. Including 3mm powder-coated solid aluminium cladding trims to window reveals, soffits and door openings, with all systems fixed over an engineered top-hat framing system to meet durability requirements.
Executing these works within a live hospital environment meant managing site access and safety constraints. Our expert team coordinated the installation around active emergency services, ensuring the project was completed without disrupting hospital operations.
The cladding is just one part of Casello’s on-site involvement, having also delivered the project-wide internal carpentry and FFE. We look forward to seeing the hospital in full operation as it begins serving the Peninsula community.
Stay tuned for the final unveil as we share more on the carpentry soon.

Project Complete // Mecca Bourke Street
We’re proud to have delivered the waxed-finish aluminium cladding for the feature staircase and escalators at the new Mecca Melbourne flagship that traverse the store’s three impressive levels, housed within the restored, heritage-listed former Cole’s Book Arcade building. The spatial design intentionally involved repositioning the escalators and creating new voids to open sightlines across the 4,000 square metres.
Casello’s work now stands as a defining feature within the world’s largest standalone beauty retail store.

At State Library Station, part of Melbourne’s new underground Metro Tunnel, over 4,573 m2 of stainless steel, anodised, and powder-coated aluminium were designed, fabricated, supplied, and installed. The scope included stainless steel escalator cladding and perforated soffits, anodised and powder-coated wall and walkway linings, door reveals, trims, capping plates, acoustic ceiling panels, and extensive carpentry works - all 3D-modelled, surveyed onsite, and installed to precise tolerances.
Delivering this package required navigating the complexities of an underground environment, coordinating extensive design development, and managing challenging logistics to move large-format materials through restricted access points. 45 of Casello’s tradespeople contributed their technical expertise, safety excellence, and teamwork to deliver one of the most technically sophisticated and impactful infrastructure projects in Victoria’s history. The scale, depth, and urban logistics of the Metro Tunnel make it a standout project, demonstrating the capability of our in-house workforce to perform at the highest level.
We had a great afternoon tea at our office for R U OK? Day.
A reminder of how important it is to check in with the people around us, and to take a moment to really listen. Sometimes just showing up for a chat can make a big difference and lighten the load.
Completed Project // One Middle Road
Spotted Gum now lines the lobby and meeting pod of Chadstone’s new nine-storey commercial office building, One Middle Road. At the main entrance, the timber was installed using Sculptform’s click-on system to create a seamless ceiling-to-wall transition.
Casello continues to collaborate with clients as specialists in timber feature installations, designing, supplying, and installing systems that bring warmth, detail, and impact to public-facing spaces.

Excited to announce the successful completion of external cladding and facade works at the new Footscray Hospital, including the main entry canopy, plant room facades on levels 11 to 13, the Wintergarden, structural steel supply and installation for the ambulance bay and oxygen tank enclosures, and extensive soffit linings throughout the courtyard, wind canopies, and Hospital Street pergola. The hospital is one of the largest health infrastructure projects in Victoria’s history, spanning a 180,000m² site - equivalent in size to nine MCGs.
Casello has also delivered an extensive carpentry package including door installations, hardware fitting, and temporary protection across the hospital’s 12-storey main inpatient building, four ancillary buildings, and 16 operating theatres.
A great outcome delivered with great partners.
