Meriton secures $130 million approval for next stage of Pagewood Green masterplan
Apartment king Harry Tribugoff is progressing with the next stage of Pagewood Green, its Westfield-anchored Eastgardens precinct in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
Meriton will deliver another 200-plus apartments across three interconnected buildings ranging in height between seven and 13 levels. There will be two retail tenancies as part of the $130 million stage, as well as a suite of communal recreation and landscaping elements.
The developer has been approved for over 214 apartments, but is seeking to reduce the density to just over 200 to "align with broader market trends" that prioritise larger apartments, and a shift towards owner-occupier preferences in new developments.
According to the compliance statement submitted with the application, the proposed design continues to meet key planning and urban design criteria, including deep soil planting, tree canopy coverage, integration of cycle and pedestrian paths, and full EV readiness across residential car parking.
Architecture for the project has been led by Plus, which noted that materials and articulation across the podium and tower forms aim to create a “village-like character” consistent with Pagewood Green’s vision.
There will be a near-1000 sqm communal open area on the level one podium for residents with a barbecue area and associated areas for dining and seating. In addition to this space will be accessible terraces on levels 10 and 9 along the western tower form with sitting areas and views to south eastern suburbs.
On ground level there is also a mixture of areas from a swimming pool, spa, sauna and gymnasium providing on-site amenity to the future residents.
Meriton first launched the $3 billion masterplan, known as Pagewood Green, in 2016. At the time it was called the biggest project undertaken by the developer. The 16.5-hectare block was previously home to the former British American Tobacco manufacturing plant and the former General Motors-Holden factory.
At the time, Triguboff said that Pagewood Green would provide some of the most spacious apartments in the area.
“Bigger apartments are in short supply and, because of this, they are achieving the strongest rental increases.”
