Billbergia and Legacy Property secure approval for Macquarie Park towers
The development wave of new apartments in Macquarie Park is showing no signs of slowing down.
The latest to secure approval is Legacy Property and Billbergia, who has been given the green light to deliver two towers opposite Macquarie Shopping Centre.
The joint venture is planning 255 apartments across two 21 and 19-level buildings on Cottonwood Crescent. The apartments will sit above a four-level podium, ground-floor retail, and several levels of basement parking for 288 cars.
More than 2,400 sqm of communal landscaping will be integrated through the scheme, designed by Place Design Group. The open space connects with neighbouring green corridors including Elouera Reserve and Shrimptons Creek.
The $182 million project, designed by AJC Architects, will rise from a large 5,130 sqm site, currently occupied by four older low-rise apartment blocks.
The towers are designed as slender vertical forms with stepped elements to introduce variation to the skyline. At street level, the podium has been configured to create an activated frontage and generous resident lobbies.
Apartment layouts emphasise two and three-bedroom residences, aligning with demand from owner-occupiers in the Macquarie Park corridor.
Macquarie Park is going through a wave of new development to keep up with the growing demand for new housing on Sydney's expanded metro line.
TOGA is currently building Macquarie Rise, its fourth project in the suburb well known for its reputable university. They have around 268 apartments across their buildings, that will be anchored by 1,200 sqm of retail space, opening onto landscaped communal areas.
Urban Property Group is developing La Vera, while Meriton and Landmark Group continue with their large-scale projects.
