First look: MADE Property doubles down in Kirribilli new apartment market
Boutique developer MADE Property is doubling down in the Prime Minister's neighbourhood.
Fresh off the back of launching Kirribilli Harbour, nine luxury apartments on Kirribilli Avenue, MADE, led by Davin Finn, is planning their next development.
They're seeking to develop 19 two and three-bedroom apartments at 22-24 Carabella Street. It's a slightly different location from Kirribilli Harbour, more Jacaranda streetscapes than Harbour views.
The amalgamated 1,964 sqm site, that already has approval for 26 apartments from a 2021 application, is currently occupied by a block of six apartments at 24 Carabella, which is of neutral heritage significance, and a non-heritage block of apartments at 22 Carabella.
The proposal by SJB Architects retains the existing red-brick facade at 24, while demolishing number 22. The development will be split into two four-level buildings - separated by a central landscaped corridor that enhances permeability and greenery on the site.
“The landscape strategy is to retain the street trees of Jacarandas, Brisbane Box and Crepe Myrtles species, providing a landscaped outlook for the residents, while also masking the bulk of the proposed building form," SJB noted in the application to the North Sydney Council.
MADE recently launched Kirribilli Harbour, a similar-style project with a restoartion of an inter-war building, one of the first ever built in Kirribilli, complemented by a new five-level building next door that will home a communal gym, wine room, and five of the nine apartments.
MADE is currently delivering Corsa Mortlake, on one of Mortlake Point's last remaining foreshore development sites and the last significant parcel of land at the end of Tennyson Road. That will comprise just 20 three-bedroom residences and a private marina berth.
Last year the developer completed Crenelle in Neutral Bay.
