Alistair Taylor & Eric Loi of Prime Edition

Prime Edition, steered under Loi and Taylor's leadership, emerges as a paragon of luxury and quality in the realm of property development. This prestigious brand is synonymous with crafting spaces that are more than mere structures; they are enduring legacies of design and innovation. Each project undertaken by Prime Edition embodies their core ethos: dedication to creating environments that not only epitomise luxury living but also enrich the community and its surroundings.

Operating from Melbourne, Prime Edition sets itself apart in the realm of property development by consciously steering clear of mass production. Each of their projects is a testament to this philosophy. They are limited in number, meticulously crafted to ensure uniqueness and exclusivity. This deliberate choice means every development is thoughtfully conceived, with an intricate focus on how it integrates with the landscape and meets the nuanced needs of the community. Prime Edition's commitment to create carefully curated properties reflects their dedication to quality, ensuring that each project not only occupies a physical space but also holds a distinct place in the hearts and lives of its inhabitants.

Prime Edition's portfolio is diverse and ambitious. The recent rebranding from JCL Prime to Prime Edition has only reinforced their dedication to crafting properties that are not just buildings, but legacies. Echoing this commitment, Eric Loi, Managing Director of Prime Edition, notes...

“We call ourselves Prime Edition, maintaining our focus on 'prime' – prime locations, prime sizes, prime projects. This reflects our dedication to quality and the strong presence of our brand in every project we undertake. We aim for our developments to be more than just their names; they represent the ethos and values of Prime Edition.”

Prime Edition's distinctive business model thrives on the synergistic collaboration between its development wing and its sister construction firm, Henny. This integrated approach ensures a seamless and efficient process, from the early design stages to the final construction phase. Crucial to this model is their in-house design team, enhancing their ability to maintain high standards.

According to Prime Edition Director, Alistair Taylor, “With our in-house qualified design architect and design manager, we handle everything internally, ensuring a consistent quality standard across all projects.” This comprehensive control over every aspect of development solidifies Prime Edition's commitment to delivering exceptional quality in every project.

Prime Edition's design philosophy is profoundly influenced by the expertise of Eric Loi, whose background in structural engineering and a deep appreciation for architecture brings a unique perspective to property development. This approach is further enhanced through collaborations with esteemed architects and designers, ensuring that each Prime Edition project is a model of form and function. This commitment is clearly reflected in projects such as 'Arbour Park' in Surrey Hills and 'Como Toorak', as well as in the promising new developments like 'Avoca' in South Yarra, and the soon to be launched 'Queens Parade' in Clifton Hill.

The 'Arbour Park' project, currently under construction in partnership with Elenberg Fraser architects, is a harmonious fusion of modern living and the traditional charm of Surrey Hills. It is set to feature an array of lush greenery, elegant natural stone, and expansive glazed windows. Meanwhile, the 'Queens Parade' project, in collaboration with Cera Stribley, is an upcoming development designed to showcase a variety of residences across six levels, prioritising biophilic design. This design strategy is a key component of Prime Edition's vision, aiming to blend natural elements into their developments to enhance resident well-being with increased natural light, improved air quality through innovative ventilation solutions, and the thoughtful integration of plant life.
