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.

<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="f0e6c165-9967-4d20-9216-e5b8357c85ba" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Marion%20site.png?VersionId=SRod222LwgDmGZJmJY0wTbK39UrWZLSD" />

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.

Level 33 is doing through the Housing Delivery Authority to try and get its Homebush project of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/level-33-adds-to-2-000-unit-pipeline-with-new-two-tower-homebush-plans">more than 300 apartments approved</a>.

The developer has over 2,000 apartments in the pipeline, predominantly in Wollongong.

Outline Projects to bring sustainability to Fitzroy with 131 Smith St apartments

Boutique property developer Piccolo has kicked off construction at their innovative Fitzroy apartment development, A Piccolo House – Gore Street.

The family-owned company has sold 70 per cent of the 49 apartments at 385 Gore Street since kicking off the campaign five months ago.

<div>The development is made up of 26 two-bedroom residences ranging from $1.5 million to $2.1 million, and 23 three-bedroom residences ranging from $2.5 million to $7 million.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>Piccolo reunited with their long-term partners, architecture practice Woods Bagot and interior designer Hecker Guthrie, to create A Piccolo House - Gore Street, Fitzroy, which is complete with honest materials and timeless finishes that take cues from Fitzroy’s historic Victorian architecture.&nbsp;</div>

Piccolo Managing Director Michael Piccolo said the site at 385 Gore Street was impossible to overlook, knowing the large 1874 sqm&nbsp;block would accommodate a collection of generously sized homes catering to those wishing to downsize and live nearer the city without compromising on space.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134287 project_image_fid=211715]

The design was born from the local architecture on Gore Street. 
 
Woods Bagot Principal Peter Miglis says the project is&nbsp;surrounded by quite an eclectic combination of spaces – industrial buildings, Victorian terrace homes, local cafes and restaurants and stunning tree-lined streets

<div>“Within this&nbsp;particular pocket of Fitzroy, the traditional converses with the contemporary, and we see&nbsp;A Piccolo House - Gore Street, Fitzroy&nbsp;as an amalgamation of both elements.”&nbsp; 
&nbsp;</div>

<div>The build will mirror the rhythm and proportions of the neighbouring heritage architecture. The lower levels will be crafted from a combination of slimline masonry brick and pigmented red oxide concrete, while the upper levels will be setback in a natural concrete frame.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>A north-south laneway splits the building into two volumes and provides a secondary connection to Gore Street. A lobby enveloped on all sides by a secluded secret garden, arriving at the building will mimic the experience of stepping into the private garden or courtyard.&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>[smartcode_project:default project_id=134287 project_image_fid=211713]</div>

Stacey Van Harn, Director at Hecker Guthrie said throughout the design process they leant towards honest materiality, selecting&nbsp;organic, high-quality&nbsp;materials that&nbsp;are practical, durable and develop a beautiful natural patina as they age.

“By incorporating the earthy natural tones of highly tactile materials, we can capture the gritty nature of Fitzroy whilst bringing an element of refinement and finesse that befits a luxury home.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

<div>The kitchens will feature top-of-the-range appliances from Gaggenau and Whispair and a butler’s pantry. The main living areas will include a study nook to accommodate working from home, and in the master ensuite will feature a bathroom with a deep shower and large undermount bathtub.</div>

Residents will also have access to a communal dining room, guest suite, and workshop space, which they will be able to book through the building’s lifestyle concierge service.

Melbourne developer Urban has focused on sustainability at it's most recent apartment project, 25 Smith Street in the heart of Fitzroy.

Designed by Clare Cousins Architects, the architectural gem sets a new standard in sustainable living, showcasing a harmonious blend of functionality, beauty, and responsible design principles that consider our impact on the environment and the community we inhabit.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110364 project_image_fid=206619]

At the heart of 25 Smith's sustainability initiatives is its commitment to renewable energy. The building boasts an array of solar panels, harnessing the power of the sun to generate clean electricity.

In line with the forward-thinking ethos, the site features electric vehicle charging stations, encouraging residents to embrace eco-friendly transportation options.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110364 project_image_fid=206622]

Furthermore, 25 Smith takes a bold step forward by eliminating the use of gas, reducing carbon emissions and promoting a greener future.

The developers have prioritised water-sensitive design features, ensuring high-quality water fixtures and implementing stormwater management practices to protect local waterways. A Stormwater Treatment Objective called Relative Measure (STORM) has been adopted, ensuring that stormwater quality from the site meets stringent standards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110364 project_image_fid=206611]

Inside the building, the focus is on creating a healthy and comfortable living environment. Natural daylight floods the living spaces, enhancing the well-being of occupants and reducing the need for artificial lighting. The architects have paid attention to indoor air quality, ensuring optimal ventilation and thermal comfort for residents.

The project team has placed a strong emphasis on reducing resource consumption and promoting recycling during the construction phase, significantly minimising waste sent to landfills. Additionally, the building management is committed to ongoing waste reduction and efficient waste disposal practices.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110364 project_image_fid=206611]

The property boasts high-performance double glazed window systems, optimising insulation and minimising heat transfer. A 21 kW photovoltaic (PV) system adorns the roof, offsetting more than 40 per cent of the building's estimated energy consumption. By utilising highly efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems, the development effectively reduces overall energy demand.

The inclusion of light-coloured paving on balconies and terraces, combined with the use of Solar Reflective Index (SRI) paints, helps mitigate the Urban Heat Island effect, creating cooler outdoor areas that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

Water consumption is significantly reduced through the implementation of water-efficient fixtures and landscape design. Additionally, rainwater is collected and stored for reuse, minimising reliance on potable water sources.

In keeping with its commitment to sustainability, 25 Smith showcases innovative practices and strategies that address global sustainability challenges. The project adheres to GreenGuard emission criteria, ensuring a healthy indoor environment by utilising ultra-low VOC paints that minimise harmful emissions.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110364 project_image_fid=206625]

The entire project, from design to ongoing operation, follows best practices to minimise environmental impact and maximise efficiency.

25 Smith also promotes alternative transportation options, aiming to reduce dependency on private vehicles. The development provides electric vehicle charging facilities, encouraging residents to embrace low-emission transportation methods and contribute to a cleaner urban environment.
