Prolific developer Billbergia is teaming up with&nbsp;Legacy Property&nbsp;for a two-tower development in Macquarie Park.

The $181 million plans at&nbsp;88 Waterloo Road, in the heart of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/macquarie-park-nsw-2113">Macquarie Park</a> next to the town centre, are for two towers, at 21 and 19 levels, dubbed Cottonwood and Waterloo.

Cottonwood and Waterloo will home 255 one, two and three-bedroom apartments above a shared mixed-use podium with car parking and retail.

Over 2,400 sqm, almost half of the total site area, will be dedicated to communal open space, while a further 30 per cent of the site will be covered by tree canopies.

The project prioritizes reconnecting landscaped areas to the surrounding Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest ecosystem, particularly contributing to the Waterloo Road Linear Park, a green spine running through the city centre. &nbsp;&nbsp;

<img alt="Legacy Property Billbergia Macquarie Park proposal" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="98225a57-ad51-47b9-ac89-fdaa59b6bded" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Cottonwood%20ground.png?VersionId=9OM_VQHUgu3U4Q1JAa8jWNTPxgdJc.f5" />

Billbergia Development Director of Planning and Development,&nbsp;Saul Moran, said Macquarie Park is a rapidly evolving suburb that is well-positioned to benefit from increased density.

"88 Waterloo Road will deliver 255 critically-needed new homes, serviced by essential retail and the new Metro station, while offering close access to key employment and study hubs."

Cottonwood Tower will deliver 124 apartments, while Waterloo Tower will feature 131 apartments. There will be a mix of configurations, with 60 one-bedroom, 98 two-bedroom, 85 three-bedroom, and 12 three-bedroom penthouses proposed.

Legacy Property CEO, Matthey Hyder, said the&nbsp;development is in one of the best locations in Sydney, opposite Macquarie Centre, overlooking a new park, within 200 metres of the new Macquarie Uni Metro station and Macquarie University.

Jim Koopman, Studio Director at architecture firm AJC, said&nbsp;88 Waterloo redefines urban living in Macquarie Park by blending high-quality residences with natural beauty.

"Our design integrates bioclimatic principles and eco-friendly features to create a sustainable and comfortable living environment.\

Macquarie Park is the largest non-CBD office market in Australia and home to the Macquarie Park Innovation Precinct, a group of organisations centred around Macquarie University.

The suburb was identified as an accelerated precinct under the NSW Government’s Transport Oriented Development (TOD) program in 2020. Macquarie Park Innovation Precinct Stage Two, a recent rezoning proposal by the Minns government, could see over 4,500 new homes delivered in the years to come - thanks to new residential zoning and developer concessions on build-to-rent (BTR) projects.

The proposal represents&nbsp;Billbergia’s second development on Sydney’s North Shore, on the backof its proposed $700 million mixed-use project at 8 Wilson Street in Chatswood.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/landmark-group">Landmark</a>, who have previously developed the 1300-apartment Lachlan's Line in <a href="/new-apartments/macquarie-park-nsw-2113">Macquarie Park</a>, have launched the first building of three buildings at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-macquarie-collection-5-halifax-street-macquarie-park">5 Halifax Street</a>, near the North Ryde Metro Station.

It's the highest density tower of the three by a considerable margin, with 256 apartments across 28 levels. The other two towers are just six levels, with 28 and 16 apartments in each.

AJC Architects designed the buildings to foster a welcoming sense of community where generous communal space across the buildings blends indoor and outdoor life.

On the sunny northeast corner, beautifully landscaped open space is the residents' own ‘urban backyard’, while the rooftops will take in panoramic views which set the scene for weekend barbecue lunches through Sydney’s long summers.&nbsp;

The beauty of the surroundings also extends to the indoors. Residents will come home to a space that’s light-filled and welcoming.

Each apartment has an understated interior palette in soft natural hues and was carefully planned to deliver a generous flow of indoor-outdoor living through large windows and balconies.&nbsp;

<img alt="The MAcquarie Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="db9ff8e7-b51f-4057-958b-ecda0ebdea10" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-21%20at%2012.46.27%20pm_0.png?VersionId=x0WiCmSFCDBC36TjP1NXTZm4wje8jmAu" />

The climate-controlled apartments are designed to escape the Macquarie Park buzz, perfectly oriented to draw in breezes, sunlight and views.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the streetscape and city views outside, while spacious balconies form natural extensions of the living areas.

Open-plan kitchens and eat-in islands invite people to gather, with timeless finishes blending into the living and dining areas.&nbsp;

Bedrooms, bathrooms and ensuites are elegant and beautifully appointed with robust, high-quality, low-maintenance finishes with abundant essential storage throughout the spaces.

Landmark Group Director of Sales and Acquisitions Mark Meyer says Macquarie Park is a growing location.

"It's a great precinct, a very exciting corridor for growth," Meyer says.

So far there's been a real mix of demographics showing interest in The Macquarie Collection. Even some investors are starting to creep back into the market.

Macquarie Park is undergoing a huge transformation. Recently Urban Property Group launched La Vera, their first project in Macquarie Park, while TOGA also launched Macquarie Rise.

Landmark have an extensive workbook across the whole of Greater Sydney, from Dee Why in the north, to Caringbah in the south, and Blacktown in the west.

Meyer says as long the suburb has the key fundamentals of amenity and transport, then there's no reason to be dedicated to develop in one area.&nbsp;

"We're not working in new suburbs," Meyer says.

"These are established suburbs with all of the infrastructure already in place. It takes out the guess work of whether growth can occur in a suburb or not. As long as there's the fundamentals buyers look for, then growth comes hand in hand."

Construction commences on Delano in Crows Nest

Drawing on the success of revered Sydney projects such as Advanx and Advanx Eastin, Rushcutters Bay, and Whitton Lane and Vue in Bondi Junction, Lindsay Bennelong Developments has brought together a team of award-winning leaders in their respective fields to collaboratively bring together their inspiring vision for their latest residential release.

Multi-award winning Australian architecture firm, Allen Jack+Cottier designed both the exterior and interior of Delano, which comprises three boutique low-rise buildings that&nbsp;gradually transition in scale and height from the nearby residential area, to the lively and energetic Crows Nest town centre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134072 project_image_fid=212757]

Set amid private landscaped gardens, Delano offers a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, some with studies, along with seven townhomes fronting Hayberry Lane. The distinct curvature and detail of the façade, with its contrasting tones of steel and face brickwork, adds to the project's timeless design that ties in with the surrounding context, whilst still maintaining a contemporary feel.

The apartments and townhomes boast of Art Deco-inspired elements that are seamlessly woven into the design, with natural stone, metallic touches, and decorative flourishes to create a sense of harmony and refinement throughout the spaces.

The bathrooms are characterised by clean lines, uncluttered spaces and considered finishes. High quality porcelain tiles run floor to ceiling, complemented by Studio Bagno vanity basins and Astrawalker brushed platinum tapware. Thoughtful details such as finger-tile mosaic feature walls, natural stone vanity tops, and tall cabinets featuring textured scalloped door panels add depth and contrast to the spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134072 project_image_fid=212763]

The seven three-storey three-bedroom townhomes, set behind landscaped private front gardens, feature free-flowing living areas encompassed by marble island kitchens, while the upper level is devoted to a secluded master suite opening to a private balcony. The rear courtyards open to a communal garden, which provides ambient additional space for alfresco entertaining.&nbsp;

With teams across Australia, China and South East Asia, Place Design Group handled the landscape architecture across the project , which at the heart of Delano, provides a green backdrop to the residences, with manicured lawns, jacaranda trees, for which the area is renowned for, as well shady pergola seating areas and barbecue stations scattered around.

Delano apartments pay homage to their Crows Nest context 

Sydney developer JQZ has paid $110 million for the South Quarter site in the heart of Parramatta, the former project mooted by now collapsed developer Dyldam.

They've secured the former Auto Alley at 57-83 Church Street, which has plans in place for a mega development with over 750 apartments and around 40,000 sqm of retail and commercial space.

Five towers were part of the original application, one of which was set to home an international branded hotel. No word from JQZ if they'll be pushing on with the $876 million project exactly as Dyldam had intended. The plans had towers ranging from 10 levels to 42 levels.

They'll no doubt stick to Dyldam's application to weave community parks throughout the huge 1.4 hectare block which is just&nbsp;450 metres from the Parramatta Rail and Bus Interchange and 260 metres from Westfield Parramatta.

<img alt="JQZ Parramatta" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="408baf84-4e15-4dc6-8304-3aa831f76196" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-30%20at%209.07.22%20am.png?VersionId=dx77LnyautHnGdyynLdX57.IUDJGV2L9" /> 
CBRE, Colliers International, and Moxham Commercial, sold the site to JQZ recently.

They marketed the project as an "outstanding opportunity for an incoming developer to secure a large scale, approved, mixed use development site at the southern gateway into Parramatta CBD."

Allen Jack + Cottier designed the plans for Dyldam, noting in the submission that the concept design reinforces the “gateway” location and provides a distinct sense of arrival from the south to the Parramatta city centre through the scale, form, and architectural design of the development.

They said the residential component of the development, which is over 64 per cent of the total gross floor area, will support the economic viability of the retail uses and the viability of local businesses beyond the subject sites.

JQZ, who recently completed 88 Christie in St Leonards, are soon to launch stage two of Lidcombe's $560 million Vivacity project which will have nearly 600 apartments.

Their website says they've&nbsp;successfully completed 18 residential projects across Sydney.

The&nbsp;Peter Campbell-led development group, Lindsay Bennelong is one step closer to bringing their Crows Nest development, Delano to fruition, appointing a builder to the project.&nbsp;

The group has sought the work of Bondi-based construction company, Ultra Building Co, with the group behind a number of residential and commercial developments across the Eastern Suburbs, including the 1788 Residences and North Shore in Double Bay, as well as The Balmoral Collection in Mosman.

Located on the fringe of Crows Nest village, Delano pays homage to the Art Deco architecture that is prolific in the area while showcasing contemporary innovation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134072 project_image_fid=212760]

The development features three boutique buildings set amidst landscaped gardens, consisting of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as an exclusive collection of just seven townhomes.

Celebrated architecture firm, AJC Architects has taken charge of the project's design, which features&nbsp;timeless aesthetics that are brought to life through the use of robust and enduring materials such as steel and face brickwork.

The buildings are distinctly characterised in response to their street frontage and local heritage items, with stepped forms and landscaped terraces that avoid overshadowing while offering a transition between the nearby commercial centre and conservation neighbourhood.

The development's centrepiece is a five-storey tower that steps down to three-storeys along Falcon Street, with the three-storey townhouses fronting Hayberry Lane.

All the residences are optimised for natural light and cross-ventilation and feature energy and water-efficient fixtures and fittings. The communal lobbies and corridors are naturally ventilated and lit, and there is bicycle parking for residents and visitors.

Herringbone engineered timber floors, plush broadloom carpet, and deluxe Miele kitchens, with natural stone benchtops and integrated fridges, are just some of the features residents can expect to enjoy, while the spacious balconies, rooftop terraces, or private courtyard gardens will offer a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.&nbsp;

Upper-level apartments will benefit from leafy views over North Sydney or Mosman, while a communal grassed lawn and gardens with seating and barbecue areas provide the perfect outdoor space for relaxation.

Sustainability was another key consideration throughout the design process, with site-wide water harvesting systems in place along with a reuse system.&nbsp;

Residents of Delano will enjoy a short five-minute stroll to the forthcoming Crows Nest Metro Station, which is due to open in 2024, the same time Delano is due for completion.&nbsp;

They'll also be just a 400 metre walk to Woolworths and just three-minutes from Crows Nest Village's lively cosmopolitan culinary scene.
