TOGA secure approval for Macquarie Park apartment development, Macquarie Rise
TOGA has received development approval for their three-tower Macquarie Park project, Macquarie Rise.
Macquarie Rise, at 122 Herring Road, will be delivered in partnership with Baptist Union NSW and Morling College. It will have three residential buildings, ranging from 12 to 14 levels, rise from a two-level, mixed-use podium with office, retail and residential lobby areas.
There will be 265 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, with over half of the units including a multi-purpose room. Residents will have access to a 20-metre lap pool, a club lounge with a work and study area, a pilates studio, gym, and a cinema room.
Turner Studio designed the development, with the interiors handled by Stack Studio.
TOGA has previously developed One Twenty Macquarie next door, Macquarie Green, and Macquarie Central, delivering nearly 1,000 apartments in the area over the past 10 years.
Allan Vidor, Managing Director of TOGA, said Macquarie Park has matured as a location in the past decade, now offering residents a cosmopolitan urban centre surrounded by pristine parklands.
"This shift is attracting families to the area, many of whom are opting for apartment living, which allows them to achieve significant value for money in terms of the amenity, location, and lifestyle they can access," Videor says.
“Macquarie Rise caters for these buyers through design features such as additional space in apartments, access to a host of premium work-from-home, health and wellness facilities, as well as the convenience of an activated retail precinct and public plaza at its lower levels."
Mark Bernberg, Managing Director of Ray White Projects Western Sydney who are selling the project alongside TOGA, says the innovative mixed-use residential venture in Macquarie Park is elevating the market appeal for residential real estate in Western Sydney.
Future residents of Macquarie Rise will enjoy views of the Lower North Shore’s pristine, leafy bushlands. Premium shopping destination, Macquarie Centre, Macquarie University, and Macquarie
University Metro station are all within walking distance, only 500 metres away. Karl May, Turner Studio’s Principal, said: “Macquarie Rise will be a desirable new precinct in Macquarie Park providing local retail, services and apartments, with new streets and open space linking to Kikkiya Creek and the surrounding nature. The new park at the centre of the project will be great for exercise, dog walking, recreation and a place for children to play.”
The location offers convenient access to public transport, further bolstered by the new Metro line which opens in 2024 and will provide fast access to Barangaroo and the CBD.
Construction is expected to commence in mid-2024, with completion due at the end of 2026.
