First look: New apartments set for Cremorne's Murdoch Street
Lower North Shore developer DA Properties has revealed its next apartment project.
DA Properties, led by David Allen, has sought to create a five-level building on Murdoch Street in Cremorne.
They're proposing 31 two and three-bedroom apartments in the $30 million block across an amalgamation of several sites between 45 and 51 Murdoch Street, toward the top of the street just off Military Road. It is strategically positioned next to Redlands Junior Campus.
Designed by PBD Architects, the development responds to the site's irregular shape and triple street frontage with a contemporary, articulated form that mitigates visual bulk and integrates with the surrounding streetscape, the documents submitted to the North Sydney Council state.
The design also reflects Cremorne’s leafy character while contributing to housing diversity, particularly through its mix of larger apartments and affordable housing.
The development will feature 776 sqm of communal open space and landscaping in the southwestern corner, along with 45 basement car spaces accessed via Education Lane.
DA Projects is hoping to start construction in August. The developer has previously created Porteno Manly, 41 luxury apartments on Whistler Street. They have another project in nearby McMahons Point.
