Prime land within easy reach of the Sydney CBD has been earmarked for 'affordable' rental apartments following a planning agreement struck between the City of Sydney council and developers Mirvac.

Some 2,500 square metres of Sydney's inner-west Harold Park development site, located on the corner of Ross street and Wigram Road Harold Park, will house 76 apartments slated for for long term rental capped at a total of 30% of household income.

The land was sold for $10.3 million. The rental units form part of a $1.1 billion urban renewal project for the suburb of Harold Park that includes 1,250 new homes.
