Hyecorp doubles-down on Lower North Shore with Celine, Chatswood tower
Longstanding Lower North Shore developer Hyecorp is continuing to expand its development pipeline, lodging plans for a new tower in Chatswood.
The State Significant Development Application proposes a 28-storey tower at 37 Archer Street, following closely behind their application for a 259-apartment project designed by FK.
Dubbed Celine, the Chatswood development will add a further 125 apartments to Hyecorp’s growing portfolio, which also includes Audrey in St Leonards—now nearing completion with only a handful of three-bedroom apartments remaining—and Juliet, a boutique 37-apartment project in Roseville.
Fuse Architects won the design competition for Celine, with the jury commending the proposal for its "strong response to the site context, the originality and thoughtfulness of the architectural proposal, and the consideration of the wider Chatswood context."
In their submission, Fuse noted that Chatswood is defined by its diverse community and rich cultural heritage as the home of the Gamaragal people.
"The area has always been an important place, with a vibrant history of gatherings and ceremonial traditions. Any new building should honour Country and the culture associated with this land through tangible and intangible outcomes," they wrote in their Design Report.
The apartment mix—spanning one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences—aims to cater to a broad range of residents, including singles, couples, sharers, families, and investors.
Mixed-use Precinct
The apartments will sit above an activated ground plane with:
- Double-height retail tenancies fronting Bertram Street
- Ground floor food and beverage spaces, activating the through-site pedestrian link
- Two levels of commercial office space
- A two-storey residential lobby anchoring the corner of Archer Street
Complementing the above is a publicly accessible, landscaped through-site link that will connect Archer and Bertram Streets. This new urban corridor is envisioned as a green, activated pedestrian space that encourages public use and outdoor dining—a gesture that extends Celine’s influence beyond its footprint into the broader community.
Connected Location
Positioned on the border of the South Chatswood Heritage Conservation Area, Celine will offer immediate access to a wide array of amenities and public transport. Within 800 metres are:
- Chatswood Interchange (metro and rail)
- Westfield and Chatswood Chase shopping centres
- Chatswood Concourse cultural hub
- Multiple parks, including Chatswood Park and Beauchamp Park
