Quest Serviced Apartments will open the doors to its Mawson Lakes ‘green accommodation’ franchise on 21 September.

The franchise will meet the community’s renowned environmental sustainability requirements, with recycled solar hot water systems and energy efficient gas and electricity included throughout the design.

The Mawson Lakes community was built with strict Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) principles enforced throughout the 620 ha Delfin Land Lease development.

Quest chairman, Paul Constantinou, said “We understand just how important it is to minimise our ecological footprint. That’s why we’ve incorporated environmentally sustainable design elements into our latest accommodation offering.”

“Throughout the Quest Mawson Lakes development we’ve aimed to be on par with, if not a step ahead of, government environmental requirements,” he said.

The project was managed by Corporate Property Services, generating 225 jobs and bringing an estimated $12 million to the region.

The property has been purchased by franchisees Simon and Danielle Neck and comprises 66 studio one, two and three bedroom serviced apartments spread over four levels, with what is expected to be a 4.5 star AAA Tourism rating.

The property also includes undercover car parking, gymnasium and conference facilities.
