Development overview

90 per cent of stage one sell-out at newly completed Erskineville’s Park Sydney as residents move in. Stage one of the joint venture by Greenland Australia and GH Australia launched last week with the developers confirming that over 297 residences in the 330-apartment project have sold to date. A limited mix of apartments remain, spread across two eight-storey buildings at the corner of Mitchell Road and Ashmore Street.

Designed by WMK Architecture and Alexander &amp; CO, residences in Botany and Cascade offer large sliding doors, natural timber finishes and high ceilings. The timber composite panels express verticality, the project’s marketing reads, with angled feature balconies and concrete slabs offering exteriors with a strong sense of character. Upon completion of the project’s additional stages, Park Sydney is expected to comprise approximately 1,400 apartments. Park Sydney is one of Sydney’s largest urban renewal projects, with stage one including the development of 5,000 sqm of retail, including 1,600 sqm Woolworths Metro, plus future food, beverage and lifestyle retail.

“Park Sydney’s first stage is an indicator of what is to come for this new community, which will revitalise this part of Erskineville and eventually provide homes for nearly 3,000 people”, said Greenland’s managing director, Sherwood Luo. Once the project’s future stages have been completed, Park Sydney will offer 10,000 sqm of retail amenities.

Park Sydney Erskineville nears first stage sellout as residents move in

<html><body>
Melbourne's Southbank represents nearly 30 years of development which has transformed industrial land on the banks of the Yarra River into a thriving suburb and this shows no signs of abating anytime soon.

The next five years will see an even more dramatic transformation as Southbank not only reaches for the sky but sets its focus to the street and improving the quality of the pedestrian environment.

Significant developments such as some of Australia's tallest buildings in Australia 108 (319m) One Queensbridge Street and (323m) Southbank by Beulah (360m) will join Eureka Tower (297m) in producing a dramatic cluster of buildings.

As part of stage 1 of its Melbourne Square development, OSK Property will deliver a new 3,700 sqm sloping public park which will occupy more than 20 per cent of overall site. Upon completion Melbourne Square will comprise six towers including an office and hotel, Southbank's first full line supermarket, and childcare and health services.

A currently vacant site which hosts the Testing Ground pop-up at 1 City Road, will also become the home of a new hub for the precinct. 

The hub will house the Australia Performing Arts Gallery, an expanded Australian Music Vault, administrative, education and research facilities, and a new centre for small-to-medium and independent arts organisations.

18,000 square metres of new and expanded open space will be added to Southbank via an elevated park at the Southbank Boulevard end linking Princes Bridge down through the precinct to a new linear park on Southbank Boulevard.

<figcaption>Southbank Arts Precinct transformation.

The Southbank Boulevard transformation project which will be undertaken in stages will create 2.5 hectares of new public open space on Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street, with the first stage expected to take 18-months to complete.

Upon completion the project will provide Southbank, which is Melbourne’s most densely populated suburb with much needed public open space.
