Project Overview
This recently completed project at Ontario Crescent, Joondalup is a strong example of a retain and build Perth development designed to maximise land value and rental return.
By retaining the original home at the front and building a new residence at the rear, the client was able to unlock the full potential of the block — creating two income-producing properties from a single site.
The Opportunity
Located in a sought-after pocket of Joondalup, this property presented an ideal opportunity for a Perth property development.
Close to Lakeside Joondalup Shopping Centre, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup Health Campus, public transport and local parks, the location supports strong rental demand and long-term growth.
Instead of demolishing the existing dwelling, the client chose a retain and build strategy, allowing them to:
- Keep the front home as a rental property
- Develop the rear of the block
- Maximise yield without interrupting existing income
The Build
The rear home was constructed using Jubilee Home Builders’ popular Ontario design, specifically suited to subdivide and build Perth projects and retain and build developments.
The home includes:
- 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
- Master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite
- Built-in mirrored robes to secondary bedrooms
- Separate theatre room
- Open-plan kitchen, living and dining
- Double garage
- Alfresco area
This design has also been successfully delivered in another Jubilee development in Craigie, completed in 2025 — demonstrating its flexibility across a range of block types.
Construction & Delivery
From slab down to handover, the project was completed in just 9 months, highlighting an efficient construction timeline for a Perth residential builder.
The smooth delivery was supported by:
- Strong coordination between trades and suppliers
- Clear communication throughout the build
- A client who made prompt decisions and trusted professional advice
The Outcome
This retain and build Perth development delivered an excellent result for the client:
- Front home retained and currently tenanted
- Brand new rear home completed and placed on the rental market
- Two income streams generated from one property
It’s a clear demonstration of how Perth property development can be approached strategically to increase returns while minimising disruption.
