First residents move into new Green Square Town Centre

Residents have been welcomed into Ebsworth, the first apartment building to be completed as part of the $8bn Green Square Town Centre development.

Developed by Mirvac and UrbanGrowth NSW, the building is situated on Ebsworth Street.

The town centre anchors a broader $13 billion Green Square urban renewal precinct which spans 287 hectares.

The new town centre will deliver much needed retail and community amenity for inner Sydney, as well as jobs and over 30,500 new dwellings. A total of 61,000 people are expected to live in Green Square by 2030.

“Green Square Town Centre is a prime example of our organisation’s ambition to transform city living,” commented UrbanGrowth NSW chief executive Michael Brodie.

“It is enormously satisfying to see this strategic location that was otherwise under-utilised, so successfully transformed into a new transit-oriented development that will provide new homes, community facilities, and job opportunities so close to the CBD,” he said.

Ebsworth offers residents inner-city living, incorporating a diverse range of layouts. It is comprised of 174 one, two and three bedroom apartments with construction completed on schedule earlier this year.

Most residents have already settled and are moving into their new homes. The buyers are a mix of investors, owner occupiers and first home buyers.

Ebsworth residents will enjoy access to high quality amenities including a new Woolworths supermarket on the ground floor of the building opening mid-year, as well as landscaped parks, playing fields, a civic plaza and library, and an aquatic centre to be completed progressively by the City of Sydney.

“Mirvac is extremely proud to be partnering with UrbanGrowth NSW to deliver new homes and a new community for Sydney,” added Mirvac CEO and managing director, Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz.

“Green Square Town Centre showcases Mirvac’s commitment to developing communities within and beyond the boundaries of our developments,” she said.

Mirvac is UrbanGrowth NSW’s delivery partner in Green Square Town Centre, delivering Ebsworth, the adjoining Ovo, No. 8 Ebsworth and Ovo Portman Place - estimated to complete construction by 2018, and future residential, retail and commercial stages.
