Builder appointed to Lindsay Bennelong Crows Nest development, Delano
The 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
They'll also be just a 400 metre walk to Woolworths and just three-minutes from Crows Nest Village's lively cosmopolitan culinary scene.
