A long-awaited transformation of a former industrial site in Holroyd has been given the green light, with the NSW Government approving the $1.2 billion Crescent Parklands masterplan that will deliver more than 1,200 new homes just south of Parramatta.

The State Significant Development approval clears the way for a large-scale mixed-use precinct at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1-crescent-street-holroyd-nsw-2142">1 Crescent Street</a>, replacing an underutilised site with a coordinated residential community anchored by new open space, retail, and commercial uses.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> for WA-based developer Tiberius, the approved scheme comprises seven buildings arranged across two precincts. In total, the development will deliver 1,227 apartments, including 201 allocated as affordable housing, alongside approximately 2,500 sqm of retail and 5,000 sqm of commercial space within a mixed-use podium.

<img alt="Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver 1,200+ homes in major Holroyd transformation" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1cc82dd2-8184-4b86-8665-90653147820d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Crescent%20buildings.png?VersionId=2ZmVDc_Rfc4AzQ6ShzZJlvdZnACLerVM" />

The project is structured as a masterplanned precinct rather than a standalone tower. Buildings 1 to 4 will rise from a shared podium with shop-top housing, while Buildings 5 to 7 are positioned closer to the northern park interface as residential flat buildings. The built form has been carefully modulated to balance density with amenity, with the design resolving building separation, solar access, and wind impacts at a precinct scale.

A significant focus of the design is the activation of Crescent Street and the integration of public domain. The submission notes that “individual townhouses [were] removed for community based functions to Crescent Street to increase activation and surveillance,” reinforcing a more urban and publicly engaged street edge. Retail, commercial tenancies, and resident amenity spaces are concentrated along this frontage and within the podium to support day-to-day activity.

The landscape strategy underpins the project’s identity, with a network of pedestrian connections, landscaped corridors, and open spaces linking the site internally and to its surroundings. The design prioritises permeability, delivering “increased uninterrupted flow between spaces for pedestrian access” and improved connections through to the adjoining parklands.

Buildings within the western precinct are oriented toward the park, shaping a residential offering defined by proximity to open space. The design describes this approach as creating apartments “immersed in nature with apartments facing the park,” positioning the landscape as a central organising element of the masterplan.

The broader architectural response addresses both infrastructure and context, with taller elements capturing long-range views toward Parramatta while setbacks and separation distances mitigate impacts on surrounding residential areas. Sustainability initiatives, including solar optimisation, cross-ventilation, and integrated landscape systems, are embedded across the scheme.

Located approximately one kilometre south of Parramatta CBD, the 3.6-hectare site is bounded by Crescent Street, Woodville Road, and Holroyd Sportsground. It benefits from strong access to public transport, including nearby bus routes and train stations, and sits within a rapidly evolving corridor earmarked for increased residential density. The design also strengthens connections between surrounding green spaces, including Holroyd Sportsground and Parramatta Parklands.

The approval follows several years of planning, including a rezoning process that enabled significant uplift in height and density across the site. With determination now secured, Crescent Parklands is positioned to play a major role in delivering new housing supply within Greater Parramatta’s growth area.

Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver over 1,200 homes in major Holroyd transformation

A new State Significant Development application has been lodged over land at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/33-43-marion-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">33–43 Marion Street</a>, Parramatta, proposing a high-rise mixed-use tower that leverages planning incentives to deliver a substantial pipeline of new housing, including a dedicated affordable component.

The scheme, currently on exhibition, combines a shop-top housing development with a concurrent rezoning, positioning the site for a significant uplift in density within Parramatta’s evolving southern CBD fringe.

The proposal, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fuse-architecture-0">Fuse Architects</a> for CN Marion, would replace the existing buildings with a 37-storey mixed-use tower, delivering 296 apartments above a retail podium with six basement levels on the 2,376 sqm site.

The residential mix comprises 58 one-bedroom, 207 two-bedroom, and 31 three-bedroom apartments, with communal facilities located on the second level and the rooftop. Ground-level activation is driven by retail and food and beverage tenancies, alongside a publicly accessible through-site link designed to improve pedestrian permeability.

The project includes 194 car spaces, five motorcycle spaces, and 348 bicycle spaces, reflecting a transit-oriented approach in a location directly adjacent to the rail corridor and within walking distance of Harris Park Station.

<img alt="First Look: Plans lodged for 37-storey mixed-use tower with affordable housing at 33–43 Marion Street, Parramatta" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3db873ea-62f0-437b-8a6a-eeda154d2dee" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Marion%20building.png?VersionId=YwzBv8OVHwyRnMLGX4slU7QyhTyMZeOX" />

The design adopts a podium-and-tower composition, with a three-storey street wall addressing Marion Street and a reduced two-storey interface responding to adjoining heritage cottages.

A key component of the proposal is the integration of affordable housing under the NSW Government’s in-fill affordable housing pathway, with units to be retained for a minimum of 15 years. This is paired with a broader public domain strategy that emphasises permeability, deep soil planting, and a landscaped through-site link.

“The strategy prioritises a permeable, well-activated public realm and supports a compact tower form to minimise the building’s footprint while enhancing the quality of the ground-level experience,” the design report states.

The proposal includes a central landscaped courtyard, rooftop communal areas, and planting strategies aligned with local environmental conditions and cultural narratives.

The site occupies a prominent corner of Marion and Station streets, roughly 100 metres from Harris Park Station, within a precinct earmarked for significant intensification. While the immediate context is characterised by low- to mid-rise buildings and heritage dwellings, planning controls and recent proposals point to a transition toward high-density development.

A substantial uplift in height and density is being tested in Lane Cove, with a 225-apartment scheme at 300 Burns Bay Road now on public exhibition as a State Significant Development alongside a concurrent rezoning.

The proposal by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/level-33">Level 33</a> would see the demolition of an existing commercial building and associated structures, replaced by a residential development ranging from seven to 15 storeys.&nbsp;

The scheme delivers 225 apartments, including 34 designated as affordable housing, positioning it within the NSW Government’s accelerated Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

The development is arranged as three interconnected residential flat buildings, a response to the site’s long, narrow configuration and sloping topography.&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c325d40c-ead5-45f4-9d77-5a446b23acc0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20Cove%20pers.png?VersionId=hsCJxT5hj.5kzA6AMInyan1x8mcHeRez" />

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a>, the project’s designer, describe a built form that is “divided into three sections, each connected by intermediate infill slots which are recessed to establish greater setbacks and further articulate the development.”

Across the scheme, apartments are supported by communal amenity at ground and rooftop levels, including landscaped open space and a rooftop pool. Basement and lower ground levels accommodate parking, storage, and building services, while a new public park is proposed along the eastern edge of the site, replacing part of the existing built form.

The architectural response has been shaped by the site’s pronounced fall towards the Lane Cove River, with building heights stepping down from west to east to reduce visual bulk and respond to adjoining bushland.&nbsp;

The design report notes that “the development has been carefully designed to integrate with the existing topography with the placement of massing and floor levels adjusted respecting the site’s inherent characteristics.”

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="31cc13a5-bc8b-4dc3-b9b1-07c6ec33a82b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20cove%20site.png?VersionId=NiyH3LimQwiHsE6Q7I5g4Grpr5fRdZaX" />

The project is being advanced through a concurrent rezoning process, seeking to increase the permissible height and floor space ratio beyond current Lane Cove LEP controls of 21 metres. Under the proposal, height would reach up to 54.5 metres, reflecting a shift toward higher-density outcomes in well-located urban areas.

Located on a 7,595 sqm site, the development sits within an established high-density residential pocket characterised by mid-rise apartment buildings set within a bushland setting. The site is within close proximity to Burns Bay Reserve, the Lane Cove River, and an extensive network of open space, reinforcing its strategic positioning for increased housing supply.

The developer has over 2,000 apartments in the pipeline, predominantly in Wollongong.

Following the completion of its debut Palm Beach apartment development EVA on Tenth, local Gold Coast developer Chippendale Group has launched its latest project in the in demand area.

Chippendale Group, led by fifth-generation Palm Beach local Daniel Chippendale, has kicked off sales at&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775884443343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2GyxnGQKU2XXwTzQ8_VHgi" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221" target="_blank">ELISE</a>, 68 coastal-infused apartments just 40 metres from the sand on Twenty Fifth Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366023]

Construction is already well underway, a signal of confidence to buyers, following the demolition of the two-storey walk-up and 1990s built house that sat on two sites that have been amalgamated to create a prime corner block.

There are a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments on offer, starting from $1.4 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366024]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, Elise responds to its coastal setting through a horizontal architectural form with recessed glazing and layered landscaping. The design aims to balance light, shade and sea breezes while creating a defined presence along the streetscape.&nbsp;

Residences have been planned with an emphasis on outdoor living suited to the Gold Coast climate, including large balconies designed as usable outdoor rooms. Interiors will feature a selection of European appliances and natural materials, including New Zealand wool carpets.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366033]

Resident amenities are centred around a wellness-focused ground-level precinct. There will be private access to a heated swimming pool, sauna, cold plunge and gym, alongside a residents’ lounge with dining and entertaining space.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">ELISE</a> is located towards the northern end of Palm Beach, which puts it just a short walk to Tallebudgera and Currumbin Creeks.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/31-41-o-hara-street-marrickville-nsw-2204">Third.i</a>&nbsp;has announced a new transport-oriented development in one of Sydney Inner West’s most sought-after metropolitan locations, delivering much needed housing within steps of world-class public transport and vibrant village life.

Located at&nbsp;31-41 O’Hara St,&nbsp;Marrickville, the proposed mixed-use development will include around 300 apartments, with up to 17 per cent dedicated to affordable housing, reinforcing Third.i’s commitment to creating inclusive, well-connected communities that support a diverse mix of residents who keep Sydney’s neighbourhoods thriving.

Located just 100 metres from the new Metro station, the development places residents within minutes of the CBD while offering seamless access to the Inner West’s cafés, retail, and local services. Anchored within a thriving local centre, the project supports everyday living without reliance on cars, while also delivering new public open space for the local community, including a new park and landscaped green areas, alongside high-quality private resident amenities.

Florian Caillon, Head of Acquisitions for Third.i Group, said the project builds on the company’s ongoing work alongside the NSW Government to deliver housing and amenity alongside major transport infrastructure. Amenity includes an activated pedestrianise retail strip that connects Illawarra Road down to the pocket park, and health and wellness facilities.&nbsp;

“Delivering housing of this scale within an established village is a rare opportunity, and few companies have achieved residential outcomes of this size at a village centre," Caillon said.

"We are excited to set a new standard for urban living in the heart of Marrickville,” he said.&nbsp;

The inclusion of affordable housing has been welcomed by frontline workers.

“We are supportive of developments which will allow essential workers like nurses, midwives and carers, the opportunity to live in the communities they care for," said&nbsp;Michael Whaites, General Secretary of the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association..

“Many healthcare workers tell us they would like to live closer to where they work, but are being priced out of the market, forcing them to move further away.&nbsp;

“Dedicated apartments for essential workers will support recruitment and retention in local hospitals and aged care facilities, helping to strengthen our health system.”

The project has been declared State Significant Development (SSD) by the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

Third.i to deliver 300 apartments in Marrickville TOD precinct

Probuild

Probuild&rsquo;s long-delayed 443 Queen St apartment project in Brisbane was a major contributor to the construction company&rsquo;s failure as costs ran out of control, according to industry insiders.

Huchinson Builders had bid for the project but could not compete with Probuild on the construction tender price.&nbsp;

With an estimated $5 billion in office, residential and infrastructure projects, Probuild had 18 major projects underway when administrator Deloitte Australia was appointed on Wednesday.

Due to its unique design the 443 Queen St tower has been described as a &quot;tropical high rise Queenslander.&quot;

&ldquo;We came second on that job but Probuild were well under us (on price),&rdquo; Hutchinson Builders chairman Scott Hutchinson told Brisbane&#39;s Courier Mail following the rival Probuild going into administration this week.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37149]

&ldquo;Costs ran out of control,&quot; Hutchinson speculated.&nbsp;

&quot;Financiers are backing these projects without asking whether they have the balance sheet to complete the jobs.&rdquo;

He said clients also had a role to play ensuring the price of building a project added up for contractors.

&ldquo;The problem is some will want to get a backyard builder to construct the Opera House,&rdquo; Mr Hutchinson said.

Mr Hutchinson said his firm would be interested in taking on incomplete projects but it was too early to make any decisions.

Hutchinson noted that Probuild&rsquo;s South African parent Wilson Bayly Holmes-Ovcon (WBHO) had realised to its peril that the Australian construction industry was one of the toughest in the world to make money.

In a statement to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on Wednesday, WBHO said the &ldquo;level of risk versus reward&rdquo; in the Australian construction market meant the company would no longer provide financial assistance to Probuild.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37089]

Responsibility for the cost blowout of completion of the 47-level apartment tower at 443 Queen Street in the heart of Brisbane&rsquo;s CBD will now be taken up by its developer Cbus Property, which is understood to have approached Melbourne lawyers Arnold Bloch Leibler on Thursday to represent them. 
&nbsp; 
The press reports have suggested the project &quot;may be haemorrhaging as much as $120 million,&quot; The Australian reported.

WBHO blamed, in part, the Australian government&rsquo;s &ldquo;hardline approach of managing Covid-19&rdquo;.

&ldquo;A combination of border restrictions, snap lockdowns and mandatory work-from-home regulations for many sectors, has had a considerable impact on property markets,&rdquo; it said in a statement.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37148]

Stronger-than-expected pre-sales for Cbus Property&rsquo;s 443 Queen had seen the construction announcement ahead of schedule in August 2017 with the appointment of &quot;tier 1 firm ProBuild.&quot; There was a 2020 completion schedule.

At the time, more than half of the 264 apartments had been sold as demolition of the office onsite and construction got underway at what was the last riverfront location in the Brisbane central business district.&nbsp;

The 47 storey tower which will include 106 one bedroom, 106 two bedroom and 54 four bedroom apartments saw 52 sales on its November 2016 launch weekend. Prices ranged from $569,000 for a one-bedroom apartment to $3 million for a four-bedroom. The vast majority of buyers were Brisbane owner occupiers, with 10 per cent of buyers from interstate.

By October 2020 when construction had been scheduled for completion, The Courier Mail reported it was only up to level 32 &nbsp;after a &quot;revolving door of Probuild site managers.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37090]

A blunder had seen windows in nine levels pulled out which threw the work sequence out for plumbers, plasterers, tilers and other trades.

COVID-19 restrictions on the three lifts on site allowed only four people at a time instead of the usual 10, so with almost 200 workers on the job, it&rsquo;s taking some of them an hour before their work started.

Probuild wanted the trades to put in longer hours, but ran into opposition from the CFMEU.

There was one crane on site instead of two as the firm sought ways to cut costs.

The development application for the project was lodged with the Brisbane City Council in 2015, with subsequent extensive court delays from neighbours who were set to have their views impacted.

 ​​​ “Aurora Melbourne Central is UEM Sunrise’s flagship development in Australia, so it is a very important moment for us to see it structurally reach its peak. It is a testament to the work of all parties involved in the project, including our construction partner Probuild, that it has been so successful thus far, and it’s fantastic that we are able to celebrate this milestone together.”

- Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib, UEM Sunrise Managing Director
</blockquote>

Aurora Melbourne Central’s construction timeline has been able to facilitate a staggered opening schedule where residents will be able to move into the completed levels while construction safely continues above.

<blockquote>
“It is an absolute honour to be working with UEM Sunrise to deliver Aurora Melbourne Central, an icon in the Melbourne skyline. A building of this magnitude is truly world class, and at Aurora Melbourne Central we have been able to take advantage of the latest in construction innovations to ensure a seamless delivery across multiple stages.”

Probuild to Deliver Major Mixed-Use Development,  Ed.Square Town Centre, for Frasers Property Australia 

<html><body>
Earlier this week The Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, joined Greenland Australia’s Managing Director, Sherwood Luo, in officially opening the striking Omnia building in Pott's Point.  Those in attendance at the ribbon-cutting ceremony included construction partners Probuild, architects Durbach Block Jaggers, SJB and Studioaria, in addition to other project consultants. 

The $320 million, 20-storey Omnia apartment building features 132 residences, and is uniquely located between Victoria Street and Darlinghurst Road, with the development already gaining widespread attention for its dramatic curved form sitting atop a uniquely sculptural retail podium, which houses a <a href="/news/greenland-australias-omnia-welcomes-wooloworths-metro-as-first-tenant-in-retail-podium">Woolworths Metro</a>.

Omnia marks Greenland Australia’s fourth completed project since commencing in Australia in 2013. Two of Omnia’s three luxury dual-level penthouses, remain for sale and are priced between $12 million and $15 million.

<figcaption>The strikingly curvaceous form of Omnia draws on New York's Flatiron. Image: Supplied</figcaption></figure><h2>What they say...</h2>

<blockquote>
Probuild have been responsible for Omnia’s high-quality construction, Durbach Block Jaggers for its distinctive design, and SJB and Studioaria for its premium interiors. This exceptional build quality is important given Omnia’s high-profile location, which effectively redefines the gateway to Potts Point and Kings Cross, one of Sydney’s most iconic food and beverage and entertainment precincts.

As such, we felt the site warranted a world-class building with significant architectural merit, and thanks to our amazing project partners, I think we’ve more than delivered. The building’s distinctive hourglass shape wasn’t simple to execute, but I think you’d all agree it was well worth the challenge.  It’s truly unique.

Omnia is a premium offering in every respect – its luxurious interior design concepts, superior construction and finishes, and its setting in one of Sydney’s best-selling locations and one of the world’s best.

- Sherwood Luo, Greenland Australia’s Managing Director
</blockquote>

 

<blockquote>
Omnia has been a fantastic project to be involved with. As an adaptive re-use project, we completed partial demolition of the previous building while designing and constructed around the existing structure that remained.

The unique design introduces a dramatic architectural feature whereby each slab decreases by 180mm in length per floor over 10 levels and then increases again, resulting in the tower’s distinctive hour-glass shape.

We have a very close relationship with Greenland Australia and we look forward to continuing it as we complete our next iconic Sydney address together at the <a href="/buildings/the-greenland-centre-115-119-bathurst-street-sydney">Greenland Centre Sydney</a>, which will be Sydney’s tallest residential tower when built.

- NSW Managing Director of Probuild

Having announced that it is partnering with Victoria University to deliver its vertical city campus earlier this month, ISPT is wasting no time in getting the project off the ground, appointing Probuild as the head contractor for the project. The 24,000 sqm NLA vertical campus will be developed at 364-378 Little Lonsdale Street site and will include office and teaching space for key academic activities in addition to the integration of heritage and archaeological elements.

Significantly, this project signals Probuild’s re-entry into the University sector. This is our first vertical education campus and we’re looking forward to adapting our industry-leading expertise in high-rises to suit education needs.

Victoria University is expanding their CBD presence in order to provide industry-best learning spaces and attract the very best students. Probuild is excited to be working alongside ISPT to deliver the next generation in University development.

<blockquote>
 
Following the successful ISPT acquisition of three Melbourne CBD properties offered to the market by Victoria University, ISPT is pleased to collaborate with Probuild to now deliver Melbourne’s tallest vertical campus, with a long term lease back to the University.

Once complete, the tower will anchor this burgeoning knowledge precinct and add to the growing portfolio of properties delivered by ISPT as the sole developer and long-term owner. This project is a key addition to our development workbook and represents an important extension of our investment into the education sector.

Probuild appointed for $200m Victoria University Tower

<html><body>
A Woolworths Metro has officially opened as the anchor tenant of Greenland Australia’s $320 million Omnia apartment building in Potts Point, which is in the final stages of completion after Probuild topped out the structure in February 2018.

The result of a design competition, the 20-storey tower features a striking hour glass form that was conceived by architects Durbach Block Jaggers, with interiors by SJB. Omnia's dynamic architectural expression was achieved by progressively reducing the floor slab length by 180mm across 10 levels and then increasing again.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/kk_print_003.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="The Woolworths Metro is located within level one of Omnia's podium.

<figcaption>The Woolworths Metro is located within level one of Omnia's podium. Image: Supplied</figcaption></figure>Omnia comprises 132 high-end apartments with sweeping Sydney CBD skyline views to the west and harbour views over Elizabeth Bay, Watsons Bay and North and South Heads to the east.

The Woolworths Metro in Omnia offers an expansive fresh food section, barista made coffee, sushi made on site, hot roast chickens, an in-store bakery and a quick and easy ready meal section. The Woolworths Metro is located on level one of Omnia’s podium level, and forms part of a retail offering that will consist of ​seven​ other retail spaces on the ground floor, which are currently available for lease.

According to Greenland Australia, the Woolworths Metro store further strengthens one of Omnia’s key points of difference – convenience. The Woolworths Metro will be open from 6am until midnight seven days a week.

<blockquote>
Having the Woolworths Metro store on the podium level really is the icing on the cake for our residents. We are also targeting premium bar and restaurant operators for the ground floor retail tenancies, so Omnia will provide an immense level of lifestyle convenience all within the building itself.

Omnia offers the ultimate in convenience on a number of fronts. Firstly, it’s in an exemplary position, ideally located between Victoria Street and Darlinghurst Road, adjacent to the iconic Coca-Cola sign, right in the centre of all the action, you can’t get much better. It’s also a stone’s throw from the CBD.

From a lifestyle point of view, it has a myriad of top-notch restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues within a short walk in Potts Point and Woolloomooloo. It also has landmark destinations including The Royal Botanic Garden, Hyde Park, Woolloomooloo Wharf and the CBD, within a fifteen-minute walk, not to mention designer boutiques and a range of sophisticated fine dining options.

<blockquote>
Our customers are looking for food they can either eat now on the go, or later, along with a convenient grocery shop. This store has been designed to cater to the area’s high volume of pedestrian traffic, which includes busy city workers and local residents, who are looking for quick and easy 'grab and go' shopping options.

Residents who are heading home for the evening and are looking for healthy meal options that are freshly prepared and ready to cook or reheat, will have all this on their doorstep with this Woolworths Metro store.

Greenland Australia's Omnia welcomes Wooloworths Metro as first tenant in retail podium

<html><body>
The first residents within UEM Sunrise's Aurora Melbourne Central development have begun moving into the lower levels of the soon to be 85-storey mixed-use building this week.

Probuild has handed over 336 apartments out of 941 in total, with the remainder to be completed by the second half of 2019. The next key milestone for the project will be the topping out of the core, which is due to occur in coming weeks as the floor plates follow at 3-4 day cycles.

Upon completion, Aurora will also become the tallest residential tower within the Hoddle Grid at a towering 270 metres, but will be eclipsed by Eureka (297 metres) and the under construction Australia 108 (317 metres).

However, due to its elevation - 16 to 19m across the site - Aurora will appear roughly the same height as Eureka on the Melbourne skyline.

Image: Probuild" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Not long to go before the core tops out. Image: Probuild</figcaption></figure>While construction work continues above, the first residents will have access to a number of common amenities on Level 9, including two swimming pools (one being a 25 metre lap pool), gym, yoga, barre and karaoke rooms.

Further resident amenities will eventually come online on Level 66 including a resident lounge, dining, function spaces and wellness rooms, while an exclusive club lounge will be located on Level 92. An exclusive resident entry and 24/7 concierge reception desk will be located within the main lobby located on the Ground floor.

The serviced apartment and the strata office components are provided with their own dedicated entries; the latter of which are incorporated into shop-fronts on both La Trobe and Little La Trobe streets.

Retail outlets will also be provided along La Trobe Street, taking advantage of an upgraded streetscape which will be sheltered via a glazed awning structure overhead. The balance of the project's 3,097 square metres of retail will be located within a retail mall with direct access to Melbourne Central Station on Level B2. 

The B1 concourse level will provide capacity for 786 Japanese inspired bike racks with servicing centre and access to Little Latrobe Street. Aurora will also include 362 car spaces within its podium levels.

<blockquote>
We’ve strategically constructed Aurora so that it can accommodate handovers in five stages.

This allows UEM Sunrise’s purchasers to move in and enjoy high-end common areas like the swimming pool and yoga room, while construction continues safely above them.

As a builder, this project has really proven our technical capabilities on an international level. We’ve developed many world first innovations in our safety systems, materials, management technologies and verified transportation initiatives.
