Construction to commence at Napier 235 in Fitzroy as Romano appoints builder

A rare new development in Surry Hills is aiming to replace a cluster of underutilised commercial buildings with a contemporary eight mixed-use building just 300 metres from Central Station.&nbsp;

The $27.5 million project is being led by ISL Property Investments Management and will include 35 apartments, some earmarked for affordable housing, alongside street-level retail and basement parking.

The development spans multiple lots between <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/98-106-kippax-street-surry-hills-nsw-2010">Kippax, Sophia, and Waterloo Streets</a> and will involve substantial demolition of the existing structures on the 780 sqm site.

According to the Urban Design Report prepared by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dko-architecture">DKO</a>, the design has been shaped to reflect the area’s gritty industrial past while contributing to its evolving identity as a high-density urban hub.

“The proposed development is designed to integrate sensitively and intelligently with its immediate surroundings and evolving urban context,” DKO stated. “It mediates between the existing built environment and the area’s future trajectory, ensuring a thoughtful transition”.

<img alt="First look: I.S.L. Property Investments plans eight-storey mixed-use apartments in Surry Hills" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="db880273-57af-4167-9601-f05fd7b39124" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Surry%20Hills%20isl.png?VersionId=f3Ix9jP4eJ44H69zUcgot_zxBr4rW6gJ" />

The project includes 35 one, two, three-bedroom apartments across the upper levels, with 15 per cent of the total floor area allocated to affordable housing.&nbsp;The dwelling mix is designed to cater to a range of household types, with layouts strategically oriented to maximise solar access and cross ventilation, DKO notes.

Architecturally, the building is anchored by a podium that reinforces the streetscape while referencing the area’s industrial brick fabric. Above this, a lighter tower form is chamfered to reduce visual bulk and improve solar access to the public domain.&nbsp;

“The tower mass is elevated above the podium, visibly distinct yet firmly anchored at the bookend corner of Kippax and Waterloo Streets,” DKO wrote.

The development is also aiming high on sustainability. Features include rooftop photovoltaics, water-efficient landscaping with local species, and a commitment to all-electric infrastructure.&nbsp;

The project is lodged under the Housing SEPP and seeks approval from the City of Sydney. There have been very few new apartment developments in Surry Hills in recent years. Some of the most notable has been redevelopments of former commercial buildings, as opposed to demolishing buildings.

That's the plan for national developer Time &amp; Place, which has recently submitted their State Significant Development Application for Marlborough House, the redevelopment of the original&nbsp;David Jones department store warehouse and factory building&nbsp;on Marlborough Street. The development will have around 150 warehouse-style apartments.

12 Headland Parade delivers rare new-build coastal homes to Barrack Point

Epping

More than seven years after buying the former Epping quarry in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, property developers, Riverlee has won approval from the City of Whittlesea to turn the 51-hectare site into a $2 billion mixed-use precinct.

Across five neighbourhoods, New Epping will deliver a range of commercial, healthcare, residential and civic spaces that will establish the suburb as the 'new urban north' in Melbourne.

Located 18-kilometres from the CBD, New Epping will contribute more than $3.4 billion to the state economy – about 1 per cent of Victoria’s GDP – and provide 7,200 jobs once fully operational. More than 600 construction workers will be required annually on the project.

Riverlee development director David Lee says New Epping sets a new benchmark in how an integrated mixed-use development can meet the demands of a rapidly growing population.

<img alt="Render of the residential neighbourhood within the New Epping development " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="beb0daba-2b7c-4a50-a981-2e6cd967a71b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/New%20Epping%20Residential%20Neighbourhood.jpg?VersionId=AIlEFD2FnbN9eKvWuS.xPFiID8mLjAWi" />Render of the residential neighbourhood within the New Epping development. Image supplied.&nbsp;

“We want New Epping to set a new standard in urban renewal, with a more thoughtful approach to how we regenerate infill sites and integrate mixed-use communities. Diversity is key to the success in a mixed-use precinct — that is what makes for a resilient community,” he said.

Situated next to the Northern Hospital, which is the busiest emergency department in Victoria, plans include a 7-hectare healthcare precinct and a private hospital, which will deliver critical infrastructure to the healthcare sector.

City of Whittlesea Chair Administrator Lydia Wilson said Riverlee’s vision to transform the dormant site will provide significant benefit to the growing northern corridor and its community.

“This landmark project will provide employment opportunities, economic stimulus and the infrastructure required to create a vibrant urban environment that is underpinned by wellness and sustainability,” Wilson said.

“Riverlee has created a vision for New Epping that builds on the cornerstones of our community — healthcare as our leading industry, the need for quality housing for people at all stages of life, and sustainability as a way of ensuring a bright and healthy future for our younger generations. With its challenging site conditions, the former Epping Quarry has laid dormant for decades. Its transformation is something the entire community can look forward to.”

New Epping’s vision for a greener future will see a central green spine and waterway rehabilitated, while built spaces will target net-zero in operation, providing sustainability benefits to enhance the urban experience and liveability.

With a focus on walkable neighbourhoods, residential plans include a diverse community of 2,000 homes, including townhomes, apartments, affordable housing, retirement residences and aged care.

Image supplied.&nbsp;

Residential and commercial precincts will be connected by a civic heart, complete with parks, cafes and recreation facilities.

“By looking at design at the neighbourhood scale, we have had the privilege to not only regenerate the natural environment but also lay the foundations for a community underpinned by connection and wellness,” Lee said.

“We believe that by creating purpose-built spaces for living, working and leisure, with unrivalled amenity and integration with nature, we can truly impact the way people live for the better, and we thank the City of Whittlesea for working with us to make this project a reality."

“Across five neighbourhoods, we will be delivering a range of commercial, healthcare, residential and civic spaces that will cement Epping as the CBD of Melbourne's north. In doing so, we want to bring all the character you find in the inner north of Melbourne to Epping and in that sense, this project is ahead of its time and will redefine the suburbs of the future,” he added.&nbsp;

Riverlee secures approval for $2 billion New Epping 'mini city' in Melbourne’s north

Integrated property investor and developer, Cbus Property, has officially launched its residential mixed-use development, The Langston, to the community in Epping. 
&nbsp; 
Cbus Property’s Chair, Georgina Lynch, and CEO, Adrian Pozzo, were joined by the Lord Mayor of the City of Parramatta Councillor Donna Davis, and other key stakeholders in the official launch to open the project’s public plaza and introduce the community to the dynamic retail precinct.

With construction group Hutchinson Builders commencing ground works on the precinct back in January 2019, on the site of Epping’s former Westpac Credit Card Services building, the project’s completion marks the conclusion of a momentous journey that began when Cbus Property acquired The Langston site in 2014.

Located in the heart of Epping, between Langston Place and Chambers Court, The Langston features 462 residences across three towers of 29, 24 and 19-storeys, known as Langston Tower, Central and Oasis.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6074 project_image_fid=197596]

The ready-to-move-in residences are priced from $590,000, with one and two-bedroom apartments still available.&nbsp;

The new community is now home to more than 1,000 people, who are enjoying an unrivalled lifestyle courtesy of the project’s extensive amenity offering, including the Sky Lounge and dining space on level 22 of The Langston’s middle tower, Central, in addition to lush podium-level gardens, the Wellness Hub and co-working spaces.

Pozzo said the achievement of practical completion at The Langston was a significant milestone for Cbus Property.

“The delivery of this project has been a resounding success for all stakeholders,” he said.

“A big thank you to Hutchinson Builders, our stakeholders and our construction workforce for rising to the challenges faced by our communities throughout the past few years. Major projects of this calibre always have their challenges. However, I am pleased to say our team expertly navigated the pandemic-related lockdowns and ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19 during the complex construction phase to achieve this outstanding result.

The official opening of the precinct was also celebrated with the second occurrence of The Langston Weekender festival, which followed the inaugural festival held in 2018, prior to construction commencement.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6074 project_image_fid=197590]

More than 5,000 visitors attended the event, transforming The Langston’s public domain for a day of family-friendly fun, featuring market stalls, art, music, dancing and entertainment.

The event also supported The Langston’s new retail operators, including the on-site supermarket Mint Fresh IGA, fitness club operators Team Bros, City Cave Float and Wellness Centre and new local cafe, Brew Bar.

Pozzo said he was delighted to welcome Epping locals and the wider Sydney community back to The Langston.

“We have certainly been on a long journey since we first held The Langston Weekender back in 2018 and we enjoyed showing people and celebrating how much the precinct has transformed in the intervening years,” he said.

“The idea behind the first iteration of this event was to help people conceptualise the future lifestyle and retail offering at The Langston, so it was incredibly rewarding to be able to showcase the completed project in person.”

CBUS Property wrap up construction on The Langston in Sydney’s North West

Renowned architecture firm Fender Katsalidis has puts its pen to a design of a new apartment tower in Sydney's West.

FK, on behalf of the applicant, real estate finance group AsheMorgan, has drawn up plans for a 15-level shop top project at&nbsp;246-250 Beecroft Road, across the road from Epping train station and&nbsp;on the fringe of the Epping Town Centre.

The tower will home 103 apartments above a medical centre and retail space.

<img alt="Render of the proposed shop-top residential building. " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e6801ab7-5a64-4a29-a319-bea754b650e8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-08-26%20at%2010.22.06%20am.png?VersionId=x1QyLmq_cqQPyjo4dIJPo.miij0cKZ53" />

The podium will be predominantly be the use of the medical centre, in response to a demand in the area, as well as for general retail that can provide potential food and beverage opportunities.&nbsp;

The medical centre and retail entry on the ground level will be accessed from Beecroft Road via a common lobby, while the residential lobby entry at ground level will be separated from the commercial entry to provide secure access for residents.

The apartments will be a mix of 29 one-beds, 56 two-beds, and 18 three-bedders.

FK advised in their design statement submitted to the local council that the L-shaped tower presents two interlocking forms, through the use of variations in height of the two intersecting wings,&nbsp;as well as articulation in the corner expression.

"A simple and restrained palette will be utilised throughout, with warm and textured materials creating a sense of human scale and tactility," FK noted.

"To articulate the podium massing, a brick colonnaded form is proposed in the podium level, complemented with bronze metallic framed glazed element infills."

Full height glazing will also be included to maximise visual connection between the lobby and retail tenancies and the street.&nbsp;

A private native garden is proposed across the ground floor to enhance the green link to the community along with a communal terrace on the level two podium.&nbsp;

Fitted out with social and recreational spaces, the level two podium will also include a communal lawn, barbecue facilities, outdoor seating, an outdoor cinema, as well as table tennis and football facilities.&nbsp;

The level 13 and 14 rooftop terraces will also take advantage of the viewlines, along with incorporating barbecue facilities and outdoor seating, wrapped in lush landscaping.&nbsp;

Sitting within close proximity to key transport interchanges, namely the Epping Train and Metro Stations, the project is also well connected to the retail and dining precincts of Beecroft Road and Oxford Street.&nbsp;

Why residents love the new Epping apartment development, Origin

Harry Trig​uboff&#39;s apartment giant, Meriton, has submitted its first New South Wales development plans for 2022.

They&#39;re set to develop again in Epping, seven years after completing&nbsp;Eppi​ng Park, their largest northern district project with 800 apartments across the 17 building precinct.

Meriton secured the Cambridge Office Park at&nbsp;37-41 Oxford Street, Epping, from the Goo​dman Group, who themselves had plans&nbsp;by&nbsp;Cande​lapas to redevelop the vast 4,970 sqm site which also homes a tennis court

Having settled on the site last year, Meriton had Nicholas Bandounas, principal of urban design at Scott Carver who is also designing part of the Australian War Memorial,&nbsp;put together plans for a 30-level mixed-use tower with a six-level basement.

The biggest amend to the DA was to include a childcare centre on the lower levels.

Above will be 211 apartments, a mix of 43 one-bedroom plus study apartments, 124 two-bedroom units, 42 three-bedroom apartments and just two four-bedders.

&quot;All apartments have been designed with consideration for a high level of comfort for the residents through privacy, solar access, visual outlook, and natural cross ventilation,&quot;&nbsp;Bandounas noted in the design statement submitted to the local council.

&quot;Internal layouts have been designed to maximise living spaces and to create generous open plan layouts. All units have been provided with a private open space off the main living areas, providing access to natural light and ventilation.&quot;

The plans are a continuation&nbsp;of further development of Epping&#39;s Oxford Street, with a recently completed 22-level mixed-use building to the south and a proposal with the Parramatta Council for a 15-level mixed-use tower to the north.

&quot;Epping Town Centre is an area that is currently undergoing a transformation as a result of significant infrastructure investment with the planned Sydney Metro Northwest,&quot; Bandounas added.

&quot;The proposal seeks to be a precedent for future development in the area.

&quot;The development will help define a new context which is envisioned for the area and within which other residential development of a similar scale and height will be built. The proposed seeks to make a positive contribution to the current and future character of the area and to set the standard for future high-density residential building developments.&quot;

Meriton is set to develop again in Epping, seven years after completing Epping Park, their largest northern district project with 800 apartments across the 17 building precinct.

Cbus Property is set to launch its final release in its popular north-western Sydney apartment development, The Langston in Epping.

The third and final apartment tower, dubbed Oasis, will rise 18 levels and sit along side Langston Tower and Central. Langston is all-but sold out, while Central is 70 per cent sold.

Oasis will home 92 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with a distinctive design by Architectus seeing some floors have just four apartments.

Hutchinson Builders, who have built all three towers in the precinct,&nbsp;will be&nbsp;allowing prospective buyers to walk through a completed apartment in Oasis for the launch day November 6, inspect the finishes and furnishing the apartments will have when completed in early 2022.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109224 project_image_fid=181292]

Cbus Property chief executive Adrian Pozzo said offering a completed apartment&nbsp;gives purchasers another level of confidence that what they buy will be delivered in the same way.

“This is especially important for purchasers seeking reassurance as they return to in-person property searches in the wake of Sydney’s pandemic-related lockdowns,” Pozzo said.

“At the same time, I know our project and sales teams are eager to share the results of their&nbsp;hard work throughout the past three years.”

Pozzo believes Oasis will appeal to a wide range of purchasers eager to secure a place in Epping’s premier development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109224 project_image_fid=181294]

“Even through Sydney’s recent lockdowns, The Langston has continued to sell well, with our first stage, Langston Tower, now almost sold out, and our second stage, Central, nearly 70 per cent sold,” Pozzo said.

“Now, with the release of Oasis, we are expecting interest from young professionals and families, as well as downsizers, in what will be the last chance to secure a place in Epping’s landmark project.

“With its prime location just 100 metres from Epping station, an amazing lifestyle precinct on the doorstep, and countless amenities on site, Oasis combines all the factors modern residential apartment purchasers are seeking.”

Pozzo said what's become evident in the last few years is that in the residential high&nbsp;and medium density sectors,&nbsp;homebuyers are looking for an increased level of space and amenity in and around their homes, reducing the need to venture too far from home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109224 project_image_fid=181293]

Oasis residents will have direct access to all of The Langston’s luxurious amenity, including the Sky Lounge &amp;&nbsp;Dining space, on level 22 of The Langston’s middle tower, Central, as well as lush podium-level gardens, the Pool Deck, Wellness Hub, gym and co-working space.

Oasis is The Langston’s closest offering to Epping Station and is quietly set back in a peaceful pocket of Chambers Court, away from Epping Road.

The Langston precinct features a landscaped 2,750 sqm public plaza adjoining a 2,100 sqm mixed-use retail precinct, including a supermarket, cafés, restaurants, and a number of other retail tenancies.

Cbus Property, is currently marketing the final opportunity to purchase a penthouse in Epping for the foreseeable future, with the release of the last remaining penthouse at its north-western Sydney development, The Langston.

The two-storey, five-bedroom residence is positioned on the uppermost floors of the tallest of three towers – the 29-storey Langston Tower – and has price expectations of circa $3.3 million.

According to Adrian Pozzo, Cbus Property’s Chief Executive Officer, a similar property is unlikely to become available in Epping for some time.

“With no new residential high-rise projects currently under construction in the Epping town centre, it will realistically be years before a penthouse of this size and calibre becomes available again,” Mr Pozzo said.

"We have already had significant interest in the property from local north-west Sydney downsizers, from areas such as Beecroft, Cheltenham and Carlingford, who are looking for something with comparable living space and status to their current homes.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29936 project_image_fid=90755]

The house-sized residence’s five bedrooms incorporating two equally sized master bedrooms with en suites, on separate levels.

Spanning two levels with more than 230 sqm&nbsp;of internal living space, there is plenty of room to enjoy the&nbsp;180-degree views that reach from the&nbsp;Sydney CBD to the south, all the way to the Blue Mountains to the west.

The wider Langston precinct provides a range of&nbsp;amenities, including a Pool Deck, Wellness Hub and Sky Lounge.

The Pool Deck incorporates a 20-metre pool and poolside cabanas, while the Wellness Hub features a well-appointed gym and yoga studio, and direct connection to the Pool Deck. Sky Lounge offers a landscaped terrace capturing views of the Sydney CBD skyline and the Blue Mountains, plus shared dining rooms&nbsp;spaces to celebrate special occasions.

There is also a residents-only podium-level gardens, featuring barbeques, casual seating areas, play zones and open green spaces, as well as shared co-working spaces.

The final penthouse in Cbus Property's The Langston in Epping set for sale

The leading property developer Cbus Property have topped out their residential mixed-use project The Langston in Sydney&#39;s Epping.

The topping out came of their 29-storey Langston Tower, which will be the tallest tower of three to be built by Hutchinson Builders.&nbsp;

The Langston Tower&nbsp;will be flanked with two further towers, the 24 level The Central, as well as a 19-level tower yet to be named. The trio of towers will home 462 apartments which are expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6074 project_image_fid=71828]

The Langston, located 100 metres from Epping Station, will also home a 2,750 sqm public plaza which adjoins a 2,100 sqm mixed-use retail precinct which will include a supermarker, cafes, restaurants and a number of retail tenances.

Cbus Property CEO Adrian Pozzo said the topping out, attended by Hutchinson Builders chairman Scott Hutchinson&nbsp;and City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Bob Dywer, marks an important step in the revitalization of the Epping Town Centre.

&ldquo;To have the physical structure of The Langston completed is a major achievement for our entire project team &ndash; and we&rsquo;re now focussed on pushing ahead into the final stages of the construction,&rdquo; Mr Pozzo said.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been committed to developing this site for a number of years, so to reach this stage in the development is not only an exciting milestone for us, but also for the future face of Epping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29936]

&ldquo;The Langston is a major contributor to the Epping Town Centre, providing new housing opposite a major transport hub, as well as brand-new retail offerings and an extensive public domain that links pedestrians from the station through to the eastern side of the suburb.

The event included the placement of a ceremonial magnolia tree atop Langston Tower to mark the occasion.

Architectus have designed the three towers.

Architectus senior associate&nbsp;Gary Henighen believes The Langston will be a distinctive landmark in Sydney&rsquo;s north-west.

&ldquo;The Langston will feature abundant amenity and premium features akin to that of inner-CBD residential projects,&rdquo; Mr Henighen said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6074 project_image_fid=71820]

&ldquo;Architectus&rsquo; design thoughtfully responds to the changing market conditions, including the rapid growth of the region, links to the new metro line and increased expectations for apartment living following the COVID-19 pandemic.

&ldquo;The Langston will provide residents with a luxurious, hotel-style experience and externally, the curvaceous form of the buildings maximises the spectacular 360-degree views over Sydney&rsquo;s city skyline and the Blue Mountains.&quot;

There will be a swimming pool with a pool deck and cabanas, a wellness hub with gym and exercise spaces, a sky lounge with terrace and private dining spaces and an on-site co-working space.

Prices start&nbsp;from $580,000 for a one-bedroom apartment or $790,000 for a two-bedroom apartment.

The topping out came of their 29-storey Langston Tower, which will be the tallest tower of three to be built by Hutchinson Builders
