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.

It comes as no surprise that <a href="https://www.walkscore.com/AU-NSW/Sydney" target="_blank">Walk Score's list</a> rates Sydney as the most walkable large city in Australia. 
The waterfront city has also been deemed <a href="https://images.arcadis.com/media/0/C/0/%7B0C0BECF6-FA5B-49B2-B332-900D50833DEE%7DAAP_MOBILITY%20INDEX_spread.pdf?_ga=2.141593266.1201163471.1579477286-416334874.1579477286" target="_blank">the second most transit-friendly</a> in the country behind Brisbane and in-front of Melbourne. Sydney provides a wide range of transport with ferries, trains, metro and the recently welcomed light rail amongst the many options available. 
Opportunities to cycle have also risen as the city's biking infrastructure has improved in recent years. Significantly more councils have bike lanes with <a href="https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/explore/getting-around/cycling/dockless-bike-sharing" target="_blank">stationless shared bikes</a> located and accessible across the city.
<a href="https://mobike.com/au/download" target="_blank">Mobike</a> and <a href="https://www.li.me/en-us/home">LimeBike</a> operate in multiple suburbs and can be tracked and paid on their website and app. LimeBike have, since late 2018, provided <a href="https://www.li.me/electric-assist-bike" target="_blank">electric assisted bikes</a> which has helped encourage more users.

Sydney's most walkable neighbourhoods

<html><body>
A Sydney city fringe property with future development potential has been listed.
The mixed-use freehold corner site at 18 City Road, Chippendale has a two level building on a 259 square metre site.
It has B4 zoning allowing mixed-use and student accommodation development, potential to strata subdivide (STCA) and dual street frontage.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/4/5/18%20city%20rd%20living%20area%201.jpg" alt="">
Savill’s Tom Tuxworth, David Hickey, and Jacey Lee are marketing the property.
Hickey said the investment offers a diverse tenant mix with strong annual income.
“This is a prominent, highly sought-after and strategic location within the booming city fringe and fast developing cosmopolitan suburb of Chippendale,” said Hickey.
“We expect interest from owner occupiers, local and offshore investors, student accommodation developers, mixed-use developers and value add investors.”
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/4/5/18%20city%20rd%20rooftop%201.jpg" alt="">
According to Savills Australia, over the last 18 months, five out of 10 freehold transactions in the Sydney city fringe with a value of $10 million-plus were sold to local buyers.
Tuxworth said competition between local and offshore, in particular Asian investors and developers will be fierce.
“Throughout 2018 many owners sold their assets for a number of reasons including strong rental demand and record capital growth being achieved,” he said.
“The increase in values can be attributed to, in part, record low interest rates and a surplus of global capital flowing into Sydney over the last few years.
“With stock supply reduced in 2018, demand and competition was and continues to intensify which resulted in record-breaking prices in the city fringe.
“However, in the New Year we have seen a resurgence in Asian capital and active offshore buyers looking to secure prime investment stock.”

LJ Hooker Newtown agents Nick Moraitis and Edward Burns have set an October 28 auction.
Terrace prices on the street have traded as high as $1.9 million. A residential warehouse recently fetched $3.2 million.
Malouf is downsizing and set to spend more time interest closer to family.
The Brisbane born and bred writer, who received the Australia Council Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature last year, is in his 80s.
He graduated from the University of Queensland in 1955. His first novel, Johnno (1975), is the semi-autobiographical tale.
Malouf recently commented on how writers who typically had a wish for solitude, now needed to go out and put on some kind of act.
"You need to be a person for whom solitude is a happy state, because that's the only way of getting the work done," he noted.

Author David Malouf lists Chippendale terrace

<html><body>
The Venetians bass guitarist turned Zurich financier Peter Watson has sold his Chippendale warehouse conversion for $1.25 million before its scheduled auction.
It had an early price guide of $980,000.
Watson paid $365,000 in 1999 for the two bedroom, north-facing apartment set in the Chippen Mews complex.
He's updated it since, with a renovated kitchen and a mirrored feature wall.
The Venetians were a 1980's synthpop act who released three albums, with their single So Much For Love, making the singles chart in 1986.
