Yes, apartments at Eighty Eight O’Connell are community-strata titled, as is normal for apartment buildings. The community scheme has multiple tiers to ensure that strata fees are allocated fairly. Each residential building (Archer, Centenary, Tynte) has its own tertiary community scheme.
Strata fees for the residential allotments are collected at the tertiary residential community scheme and are distributed at each residential community scheme to cater for maintenance of shared residential facilities. The commercial and retail properties within the buildings have their own community schemes, which residents will not contribute towards, to cater for amenities exclusive to the commercial and retail allotments.
The common areas can be seen in the draft community strata plan and include (but are not limited to) driveways, ramps, storage areas, stairs, lobbies, amenities, plant rooms and outdoor pool.
The private landscaped terrace and outdoor pool located on level 2 to the corner of Tynte Street and Centenary Street form common property of the residential community scheme. These areas are for the exclusive use of residential lot owners and persons authorised by them from time to time in accordance with the by-laws.
All of these areas can be accessed from the lifts dedicated to each of the three residential buildings.

At ground level, a gourmet food offering is currently proposed to be at the heart of the Eighty Eight O’Connell retail experience, providing residents and the wider North Adelaide community with authentic artisan produce and high quality dine-in experiences.
It is proposed that bar and dining facilities, including casual spaces to enjoy food and drink, will be located on level 2 and open up to the public landscaped terrace. The bar and dining facilities will be available for hire by residents for private events such as birthday celebrations a limited number of times per year. These operators will also offer food and beverage service to the resident’s private outdoor terrace and outdoor pool to create a resort-like experience.
Eighty Eight O’Connell also features a world-class gym and indoor pool on level 1, together with a day spa on level 2, which will be available to residents and the public for a fee.

Apartment lifts are for the exclusive use of residents and their visitors, and incorporate electronic access control to allow access to a resident’s floor only. Visitors can be granted access to the lifts remotely via the video intercom system.
The ground level residential lobbies will be secured out-of-hours and are accessed using the same electronic access control system.
