I have owned an apartment at Mid Rise World Tower since 2008, and I lived in that apartment from
2008 to 2016.
On taking up residence, it became obvious to me that there were significant issues, including
overcrowding in the building. I learned that Mid Rise – World Tower is an extremely challenging
building to manage due to the size and complexity of strata plan and the fact that there are three
strata plans operating within one of Sydney’s largest residential towers.
The situation changed when Matthew Maher (now a principal at Sky Management) came in as the
Building Manager, around five or six years ago. Matt, and now Dean Frost, (the current Sky
Management Building Management team) have proven that they are dedicated to managing this
ageing and complex building with great professionalism. They understand the importance of
managing the mechanical and commercial aspects of a building with great care helping to reduce risk
and improve efficiency. They also have strong empathy and respect for owners’ needs.
More recently, I have had even more direct experience with the Sky Management team, firstly as a
member of the Mid Rise Strata Committee (since November 2017) and as its Chairman (since
November 2018). During that time Mid Rise World Tower has undertaken some large, complex
restoration and refurbishment projects. The team at Sky Management have used their skills in
ensuring that these projects are completed successfully with minimal disturbance to owners and
residents of Mid Rise. Importantly, they are always available to assist and advise the Mid Rise Strata Committee, as we navigate through the many complex issues that arise in such projects.
I would highly recommend Sky Management to any Owners Corporation seeking to engage a
professional building management company to maintain their asset with great care and diligence.
