JWLand lodge plans for second Northbourne precinct, Braddon Place

Canberra locals JWLand has recently lodged plans for its next Braddon residential project. 

Adding to a growing portfolio in the area, the group will develop the $500 million Braddon Place precinct on Northbourne Avenue between the Rex Hotel and Haig Park. 

The 15,607 sqm site has plans designed by Cox Architecture, which includes six buildings, three fronting Northbourne Ave and three with frontage to Henry Street. 

The vision for the site is for a series of buildings organised around a central green spine, linking Haig Park in the South with the Rex Hotel’s heritage-listed Expansion mural to the north.

“Braddon Place will create a truly liveable precinct that makes a positive contribution to the established and envisioned urban fabric,” JWLand say.

Six buildings will be constructed across the 15,607 sqm site, with plans designed by Cox Architecture. 

“The vision for the proposed development is to create a vibrant mixed-use precinct adjacent to Haig Park.”

“The site presents an opportunity to reinforce the ACT Government’s broader vision for the Northbourne Avenue corridor, a corridor that is nationally significant as one of the main entries into the capital.”

Buildings one, three and five will front Northbourne Avenue, each topping out at nine-storeys, while buildings two, four and six will front Henry Street, climbing to six storeys each. 

600 residences will be delivered across the project, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments. 

A two-part hotel will also be constructed, with 239 hotel rooms penned for the corner sections of buildings three and five, in addition to space for a restaurant in both. 

JWLand are currently developing other projects along Northbourne Avenue with stage three and four the next to be constructed in their $300 million mixed-use precinct, Northbourne Village.
