Description
The redevelopment of the site proposes a mixed use development with ground floor retail and commercial (educational use) and 207 residential units above including 7.5% of affordable housing. The site is conveniently located within walking distance to Sydney’s CBD, Glebe, Broadway Shopping Centre and a number of bus, light rail and train services.
The development will activate the Wentworth Park Road and Bay Street frontages and provides a through-site link for community social interaction. The development will create high-quality residential accommodation which are primarily north-facing and enjoy pleasant views of Wentworth Park (opposite), the city skyline, Glebe and Pyrmont Bridge.
