Service Areas

Excel manages a growing portfolio on the north side of the Harbour Bridge. This portfolio includes some of the lower north shore’s most recognisable residential addresses: The Alexander, Skye by Crown and Belvedere are all Excel buildings, as well as The Hume in nearby Crows Nest.

North Sydney keeps unusual hours for a residential area. The commercial towers along Miller Street and the Pacific Highway fill and empty around the commuter day. While the business district swells with office workers during the working week, the evenings and weekends are quiet and serene. We know that rhythm well, because we manage some of the most prominent buildings in the area.

A better-connected North Sydney

Victoria Cross metro station opened on Miller Street in August 2024, and it has changed the way North Sydney connects to the rest of the city. Sitting between Crows Nest and Barangaroo on the Sydney Metro line, the station is an indicative three minutes from Barangaroo, five from Martin Place, six from Chatswood and nine from Central, with trains every four minutes at peak.

For people living in North Sydney’s apartment buildings, the difference shows in everyday life. With a train every four minutes at peak and every ten minutes at other times, the metro is a service you can simply turn up for. The line continues through Chatswood towards Epping and the north west, and on through the city to Sydenham, with Chatswood, Martin Place, Central and Sydenham all serving as interchange stations for onward connections.

Around the station, a new neighbourhood has grown up to support the people who live and work nearby. The VicX precinct connects straight to the metro concourse, where grab-and-go shops sit alongside nail services, gyms and dining laneways. For apartment residents, coffee, dinner and everyday errands are now available right above the station.

Building management North Sydney, (including concierge)

Most of our larger North Sydney buildings run both of Excel’s building management and concierge lines, side by side. The concierge team is the warm, visible face of the building, looking after residents, parcels, access and amenity bookings at the desk, while the building manager works through maintenance, contractors and compliance behind the scenes. Because both are directly employed by Excel, the two halves work as one: the desk logs it, the manager resolves it, and the committee reads about it in the monthly report. Residents simply experience a building where things get handled.

Cleaning, through our sister company

Cleaning is the one service Excel deliberately does not deliver itself. It is provided by our sister company, Tru Brite Cleaning Services, which has cleaned Sydney strata buildings since 1992 and already looks after several of the buildings we manage, The Alexander and The Hume among them.

In brief, a fully Excel-managed building in North Sydney includes:

• A directly employed building manager, inspecting, documenting and reporting monthly
• Day time and overnight Concierge services available under the same roof, with one chain of accountability
• Cleaning through Tru Brite, our disclosed sister company, if your committee chooses it
• Neighbouring reference buildings your committee can get in touch with.
