Sydney property project mixes living and leisure
Print Edition
CHINESE property developer Greenland is determined that its new project in Sydney be not only the tallest residential building in Australia but will also be a creative hub featuring dance, theater, music, film and visual arts facilities.
The Mayor of Sydney Clover Moore said the A$25 million (US$23.5 million) creative hub will be built in the heart of the city following an agreement between Sydney and Greenland.
An Australian first, the hub will span 2,000 square meters over five stories.
In addition to the hub, the A$440 million (US$413 million) 67-story Greenland Center will feature 490 apartments and ground-floor retail space, while a 173-room hotel will be built on a neighboring site in Sydney city center.
Moore said the landmark project would bring economic, cultural and community benefits to Sydney.
“Sydney remains the leading global city of Australia and this project, along with the recently approved light rail project, are great examples of the major infrastructure projects being pursued by the city in partnership with the business sector and other levels of government,” she said.
“The creative hub also sets an exciting precedent for the inclusion of world-class cultural facilities in private developments,” she said.
She hoped this project will lead to much-needed creative and community space being incorporated into both new and existing developments across the city.
The city has signed a 99-year lease for the creative hub via a Voluntary Planning Agreement with Greenland Australia.
The hub will feature architect-designed rehearsal spaces, customized studios, offices and production rooms, and a live/work apartment to be made available for a creative fellowship program.
Facilities will include soundproofed rooms for music rehearsals, studios with sprung timber floors for dancers and actors, media and editing suites for filmmakers and new media artists, and wet/ dry studios for visual artists.
