Overlooking Sydney’s pristine Freshwater Beach, MCM undertook remediation works to the 1970s residential building, preserving and uplifting the structure on behalf of the building’s body corporate.

Primely positioned on the edge of the shore, the Monaco Building in Freshwater is subject to some of the harshest marine conditions which has led to significant and widespread deterioration of the concrete structure.
