'The ultimate urban lifestyle': Final stage of Founders Lane on the market

When it comes to sunrises and sunsets in our great capital, we’re spoilt. Barely a day goes by when we’re not left in awe of the vibrant colours that shoot across the sky.

It’s this exact experience that inspired Sol, the final stage of JWLand’s Founders Lane, a vibrant urban precinct elevating the space between the city and Braddon.

Named for the Latin word for “sun”, Sol maximises light; from the first rays that sparkle over Lake Burley Griffin on your morning walk, from the last glow over the Brindabellas as the day draws to a close.

On offer are 241 predominantly one and two-bedroom apartments, with just a handful of three-bedroom options up for grabs.

Expansive double-glazed windows allow ample natural light to circulate through the apartment. Functional balconies embrace the city’s energy and provide an idyllic viewing point to soak in the sun while capturing the surrounding views.

External facing apartments look across Canberra, while the internal-facing apartments have views of the established American elm and evergreen oaks the developer was set on protecting as part of the precinct design.

“Sol was designed to embrace the trees that have been on the site for generations,” says JWLand national head of development Michael Prendergast.

“Tree placement is a fundamental element in the urban landscape and we were able to retain three large deciduous trees that provide an immense amount of character.

“Not only do these trees benefit the residents by filtering the summer sun and allowing winter warmth into their apartments, but more importantly they provide refuge and amenity to those visiting and spending time within in the open landscaped courtyard at Founders Lane.”

For the times when you really want to enjoy the sun’s majesty, the shared rooftop garden is the place to be, with sweeping 360-degree views of Mount Ainslie, Black Mountain and the city skyline.

“This will be the perfect place to meet your neighbours or invite your family and friends for a barbecue,” says Prendergast.

“We’ve opted not to include other amenities like gyms and pools to ensure body corporate fees are low, but the commercial spaces on the ground floor will help Sol create its own cosmopolitan buzz and add to the lively Founders Lane community atmosphere.”

Positioned in the heart of the city, there’s also so much to enjoy beyond the precinct.

“The Canberra Centre is literally across the road – department stores, specialty shops, cinemas, a fitness centre and food markets,” says Prendergast.

“When it comes to eating out, you’re spoilt for choice, with casual and fine dining options throughout the city and in Braddon’s Lonsdale Street. And for the perfect outdoor escape, Lake Burley Griffin and Mount Ainslie are on your doorstep.”

“It’s the ultimate urban lifestyle,” he adds.

Expected completion is the first quarter of 2022.
