The ASX-listed Mirvac has officially topped out the main structures of three residential apartment buildings at Green Square in Sydney’s Zetland, signalling the near completion of 311 new homes as part of one of the largest urban renewal projects in Australia.

They simultaneously topped out&nbsp;The Frederick, Portman on the Park, and Portman House,&nbsp;which have a combined construction value of over $210 million.

Over 80% of the apartments are already sold, to a mix of owner occupiers, young first home buyers and investors.

Mirvac CEO Development Stuart Penklis said the completion of the three buildings forms a significant milestone for the ongoing evolution of Green Square from one of the city’s oldest industrial suburbs to Sydney’s first new town centre in more than a century.

"The new community we are delivering in partnership with state and local government at Green Square has already contributed homes for over 1,000 residents, and these three new apartment buildings will see a further 685 residents calling the precinct home by the end of 2023," Penklis said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109956 project_image_fid=186239]

“On completion, Mirvac will deliver more than 1,600 apartments in Green Square, along with state-of- the-art office and vibrant retail spaces, and substantial public spaces within the Green Square Town Centre.

"The precinct is close to public transportation, healthcare, education, and community services and promotes social inclusion and diversity and fosters a sense of community among its residents."

Penklis said&nbsp;Green Square is a great example of government and industry coming together to not only generate more places close to the city for Sydney-siders to call home, but also foster a community that will meet the needs of its residents for years to come.

"This commitment could not be more important as we play our part in resolving the most significant housing crisis of our generation.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30049 project_image_fid=162884]

Green Square by Mirvac has been coming to life for over nine years, and the precinct is now home to a library and Civic Plaza, as well as the 6,200 sqm Drying Green, Gunyama Park Aquatic and Recreation Centre, Green Square train station, Joynton Avenue Creative Centre, Goodstart Waranara Early Education Centre and over 40 parks.

The Green Square Public School, which will cater to 600 primary students, commenced construction in August 2022.

Landcom, the NSW Government's land and property development organisation, and Mirvac began working together on the Green Square urban renewal project in 2012. In October 2020 Mirvac began acquiring Landcom’s ownership of the future stages of Green Square Town Centre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100811 project_image_fid=162907]

Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, said the $13 billion Green Square precinct renewal was one of the City’s greatest challenges, but also one of their greatest successes. By 2030, it will have 70,000 residents and 22,000 workers and will still be growing.

“Safe, secure and affordable housing for essential workers and for those on low and very low incomes is essential for a cohesive and economically successful city," Moore said.

“Mirvac’s Green Square mixed-use apartment complex is the result of a design competition which resulted in four buildings containing more than 300 homes and retail spaces and a contribution to affordable housing."

The Frederick is the tallest of the trio of buildings at 23 levels. That has been designed by Smart Design Studio in collaboration with Mirvac Design and will home 151 apartments with views of the Sydney CBD.&nbsp; It is also home to a resident only Business Studio, a Wellness Studio, and Sky Lounge, a bookable private dining space exclusive for residents and their guests.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109956 project_image_fid=186227]

The Portman Collection comprises Portman on the Park and Portman House and was designed by certified carbon neutral architectural practice CO-AP in collaboration with Mirvac Design.

Portman on the Park includes 116 apartments, many with dual aspect views of Sydney’s CBD and the Drying Green, which maximise the free flow of air and capture natural light. Portman House is a boutique offering of 44 apartments across 12 levels, just four apartments per floor.

Mirvac has also started construction on the nearby Portman St Terraces, designed in collaboration with Smart Design Studio.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100811 project_image_fid=162900]

Drawing inspiration from the surrounding traditional Victorian terraces, these seven, contemporary spacious homes feature open plan living, four bedrooms, rooftop entertaining deck, courtyards and flexible family room.

Mirvac CEO Development Stuart Penklis said the completion of the three buildings forms a significant milestone for the ongoing evolution of Green Square from one of the city’s oldest industrial suburbs to Sydney’s first new town centre in more than a century.

Developer and builder ALAND has commenced construction on their $375 million mixed-use development Archibald in the heart of Gosford, with groundworks underway at 108 Donnison Street, one of the last remaining consolidated sites in the Gosford CBD.&nbsp;

Named after Archibald Acheson, the second Earl of Gosford, the project will occupy a 5,656 sqm parcel and include 323 residential apartments, 130 hotel rooms, multiple food and beverage tenants, 2,061 sqm pub and a 960 sqm Skybar &amp; Lounge.

Archibald will consist of two buildings, fronting onto Mann, Donnison and Baker streets, with a selection of one, two, three and four-bedroom units in addition to a collection of penthouses. Residents will have access to resort-style facilities, such as a podium pool with swim-up bar and Skybar &amp; Lounge at the crown with views of the ocean and city skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208142]

Apartments range in size from 58 sqm to 280 sqm total area with prices for a one-bedroom starting from $450,000.

Since launching in November 2022, Archibald by ALAND has sold more than a third of the units prior to construction commencing.

Highland Project Sales Director Georgia Scanlon said despite successive rate rises and a change in Australia’s property market conditions in the past 12 months, buyers were active in high growth sea change areas such as the Central Coast where lifestyle, affordability and proximity to the city underpinned long-term growth.

“The Central Coast offers the perfect combination of a coastal lifestyle, regional growth and affordable price points with demand stemming from Sydney-based downsizers, professional couples and families,” Scanlon said.

“Gosford has had a shortage of high-quality new projects in recent years. A luxury development such as Archibald has appealed to Sydneysiders as well as investors seeking an easily accessible getaway option just under an hour’s drive from the city.”

Located less than five minutes’ walk from Gosford’s Waterfront Park, Central Coast Station, and the University of Newcastle’s new multi-million-dollar high-tech campus to be built on Mann Street, position has been major drawcard for buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208145]

ALAND Head of Development Ryan Lane said Archibald by ALAND will be a significant new destination offering at a time of growth and investment for Gosford.

He said the considered design, finishes and amenities had come together with lifestyle-oriented residents in mind.

“The combination of residences, an upscale hotel together with a significant food and beverage offering as well as gym and pool amenities raises the bar on luxury living for Gosford,” he said.

“For residents Archibald lifestyle extends beyond the four walls of their home, the plethora of amenity becomes an extension of their home – from meeting friends at the sky bar for a drink, to enjoying the pool with family.

“This aligns with ALAND’s key principles for location, design and lifestyle. We look for emerging locations with untapped growth potential where our expertise and experience can have a long-lasting impact on delivering a project the local market can take real delight in.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208153]

ALAND Chief Executive Officer George Tadrosse said he was proud to kick off such a significant milestone that meant as much for the company as it did for the Central Coast, particularly given the strong buyer and community interest in the wide range of lifestyle amenities within the project.

“Gosford has been waiting several years for this site to be transformed and we’re extremely proud to be the developer and builder with the foresight and resources to bring it to fruition,” Tadrosse said.

“This is a huge opportunity to create a legacy for the city and make the most of this outstanding location. The strong level of interest to date is testament to the demand for a premium lifestyle community. Now the project is coming out of the ground we expect that interest to increase.”

"The interest and investment in Gosford are set to enliven the CBD and ALAND has taken its role in this transformation extremely seriously,” Tadrosse said.

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a world class and timeless building for the city of Gosford. We’ve pulled out all stops to make this a development with broad appeal to holidaymakers, local buyers, and investors wanting to enjoy and realise the true potential of this thriving community.”

The project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2024.
