First look: New apartment plans filed for Erskineville's Ashmore precinct
Erskineville's Ashmore precinct is set for more apartments with five more buildings pitched for the area between Sydney Park and Erskineville Station.
The little known Brightwell Real Estate has submitted plans to the City of Sydney Council for a $124 development across 7-19 Coulson Street, 5 Goddard Street, and 23 Eve Street. Together they add up to 7,747 sqm, in the south east corner of the Ashmore precinct that has seen development from Greenland and Coronation Property in recent years.
The precinct has been under development for the past decade and has become a well-established residential neighbourhood known for its vibrant community atmosphere, supported by various cafes, boutique shops, schools, and local markets.
As part of the ongoing development within the Ashmore precinct, Brightwell Real Estate’s project aims to contribute to the established high-quality residential neighbourhood, further enhancing the public domain and landscape character of the area.
The proposed development will comprise 135 apartments, a mix of 35 one-bedroom, 81 two-bedroom, and 20 three-bedroom apartments.
In addition to the residential component, the proposal includes the adaptive reuse of an existing heritage item for commercial purposes, as well as indicative roads and public open space to serve the new community.
A competitive design process is yet to be held, however submissions so far have come from SJB and DKO Architecture.
The project will align with current environmental standards, targeting an ecologically sustainable footprint. It will meet the newly legislated BASIX benchmarks, incorporate a fossil-fuel-free design, and implement various sustainability initiatives, including biophilic design and Heat Island Mitigation measures.
