Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 27, 2008 11:22 am Hi I am new here and was wondering if anyone is building at Manhattan Place.
We are building with Porter Davis, the Heywood 29. I have been a lurker for a while so thought I would give it a go as its a really great site. Thanks KarenB Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 2May 06, 2008 11:39 am Hi karenB
Apparently no one else here is building at Manhattan Place, but we are! Funnily enough we were going to build with PD (either the heywood or the peninsula)... but changed our minds. We're in stage one, and we just settled last week. It's great to see the street signs and everything going up! We hope to start building this month. Plenty of reasons why people wouldn't like to build here, but they happen to be the reasons we DO. No body corp fees for gyms and pools we'll never use Not far from Werribee Plaza, and a lot of long established schools in the area. Bit far from the city for our liking, but for a 700m2 block, i'm willing to make sacrifices Alan and Thuy in Melbourne Building a second time! Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 3May 06, 2008 12:24 pm Ah, just down the road. I presume yo were talking about Claremont Park.. Agreed about the covenants and Body corp fees..... I am in Tarneit Gardens.
BTW PD are building new display homes in the slip road near the corner of Tarneit and Sayers roads.

Builders are going to start with in the next week or two and we cant wait. What road are you building in we are in Columbia Street. I may start a blog for here if I can work out how to do it. Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 5May 06, 2008 1:21 pm We're in Amsterdam Avenue
Apparently they will be building displays at the front of the estate, so I'd imagine they'd be building those fairly soon. I was there on the weekend, and it looks like they're just starting the roads for Stage 2 as well, so it's all happening. I'm guessing your land has titled as well, do you have a start date from your builder yet? Alan and Thuy in Melbourne Building a second time! Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 6May 06, 2008 1:30 pm Start date for us is the 9th only a few more days so I hope they start on time. I had a look at your blog and you are just around the corner from us we are lot 7 which the council said will be number 4 for the actual address, I rang an asked.
We are really excited its been a long wait and we were delayed by the land as you know. Karen B Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 7May 06, 2008 1:41 pm Well you obviously not being held up by as much as we are
Our builders wouldn't lift a finger for permits/start date until the land was titled... so we'll still be waiting another 4 weeks.... It'll be great to see some construction get under way! Good Luck! Alan and Thuy in Melbourne Building a second time! Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 8May 06, 2008 2:08 pm Yes we had start dates ranging from 1st April until 9th May because of the land hold up.
Hope you get to start building shortly as well. Went out there today and no one started yet. We are kiwis just moved here last September so if any other kiwis read this "hello". Karen B Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 9May 06, 2008 2:40 pm Well, welcome to the country/neighbourhood... i'll try not to make too many jokes
Actually, come to think of it... I recall the builder saying they were building for another Kiwi couple in our street. Alan and Thuy in Melbourne Building a second time!

Karen B First off congratulations on the new house, I’m sure you’ll get plenty of insight from others on this forum as your journey progresses. Secondly welcome to Australia. Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 13May 07, 2008 9:55 am Hey Karen, who did you ring to find out your street address? My wife rang the council and they told her that our estate doesn't exist I think perhaps she wasn't asking the right question Alan and Thuy in Melbourne Building a second time! Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 14May 07, 2008 10:02 am Hi
I rang Wyndham City Council on 97420850 which is the rates an property department. Lady was very quick at giving me the information I just had to tell her the lot number, street name and suburb. KarenB Re: Anyone building in Manhattan Place Tarneit? 18May 13, 2008 9:33 am Hi
We have been told on Friday we would see something happening in the next two weeks. I have been going past each day as we are only a few minutes away to check. No one else has started either. I cant wait to see something happening. Could be any day now. She said they passed our file over to the builder on Friday.

Have you guys been given a build date yet. I just went out to Manhattan Place and they have started preparing some sites which is lot 1 and 14 and they both have signs out the front saying Urban Edge. Your lot has a sign on it too but no work on your land done yet. Wish ours would hurry up I am just waiting for a call back from Porter Davis to see what the hold up is. We got our certificate of title today.
