Coronation receives green light for Archer & Albert apartments in Chatswood
Coronation Property has received development approval for Archer & Albert, a 32-storey, mixed-use residential development in the heart of Chatswood.
Located at 57–61 Archer Street and 34 Albert Avenue, Archer & Albert will deliver 150 new homes, including affordable housing, alongside ground-floor and podium retail, commercial space, a heritage house activated as a café, additional ground-level activation, and a landscaped publicly accessible park designed for community use.
Archer & Albert is one of the few large-scale residential developments in the heart of Chatswood City to progress through a council-led architectural design competition and secure development approval, positioning it at the forefront of design led housing.
Designed by global architecture practice Woods Bagot, long-term collaborators of the Coronation team, the project draws inspiration from the Sydney Blue Gum High Forest and the leafy character of the South Chatswood Heritage Conservation Area. The design integrates a restored heritage-listed home and establishes a landscaped connection between Chatswood’s urban centre and its surrounding residential neighbourhoods.
“This is an important project for us and our first entry into the North Shore,” said Joe Nahas, Managing Director of Coronation Property.
“We are deliberate about where we invest and build, Chatswood stands out because the fundamentals are already strong. Transport, employment, education, retail and health are all in place. Archer & Albert is about adding new housing into a centre that already works and building on what exists.”
Aras Labutis, Head of Urban Transformation at Coronation Property, said the project reflects a disciplined, collaborative approach to city shaping.
“Chatswood sits at an important junction between high-density commercial activity and established residential neighbourhoods," Labutis said.
"Our focus for Archer & Albert was to manage that transition carefully, respecting what’s already there while contributing something new that feels deliberate and enduring."
The approved scheme delivers:
- A 32-storey mixed-use tower comprising 150 homes, including 41 affordable housing dwellings • 530sqm of ground-floor retail, dining and commercial offerings
- A 760sqm wellness tenancy integrated within the podium
- A restored heritage building, thoughtfully reimagined as a café overlooking the park
- A landscaped public park, designed as a calm green retreat in the heart of Chatswood
- Resident amenities include a premium gym, golf simulator, mahjong room, dedicated wellness areas, private dining facilities and a curated wine room
- Deep private balconies designed to capture outlooks and northern light
- A refined material palette of natural stone, timber and terracotta
