The Rise Collection
Googong, ACT
Situated in the heart of Googong Central, The Rise Collection comprises a limited release of 22 architecturally designed townhomes that elegantly balance contemporary design, sustainable living and everyday convenience.
Allera played a critical strategic role in shaping the project from inception through to construction, applying its specialist expertise in medium-density residential development to unlock value at every stage of the process.
From the outset, Allera led site acquisition and origination, undertaking detailed feasibility modelling to test multiple yield, typology and staging scenarios. This early-stage analysis informed key decisions around density, dwelling mix and built form, ensuring the project was commercially robust while remaining aligned with planning controls and market demand. Allera’s approach recognises that in medium-density projects, every square metre matters—and value is often created not through scale, but through precision.
Working closely with Rawson Development, designers, engineers and consultants, Allera drove a rigorous design refinement process, balancing architectural quality with buildability, efficiency and cost control. This included optimising internal layouts, circulation, setbacks and servicing strategies to maximise net saleable area without compromising amenity. The result is a highly efficient development outcome that extracts full value from the site while delivering high-quality homes for end users.
Allera also led the planning approvals process, proactively engaging with council and key stakeholders to navigate local planning requirements and resolve constraints early. Through strong relationships, clear communication and a deep understanding of planning frameworks, Allera was able to manage issues relating to density, access, infrastructure and engineering constraints in a collaborative and solutions-focused manner—ultimately securing an approval that supported both project feasibility and long-term placemaking outcomes.
In projects like The Rise Collection, Allera’s value is not just in managing a project – but in creating it.
