GOOD news for developer Match and Fremantle council this week with news the long-stalled Heirloom project in the city’s East End has finally secured financing.

Match has been battling for several years to get enough pre-sales to satisfy the banks, with managing director Lloyd Clark saying there was extra caution given it was a heritage job.

Acting Fremantle mayor Josh Wilson says Heirloom will be an “early instalment in a fantastic new wave of projects”.
