Sydney's Mascot to get first master planned community

Nicola TrotmanSeptember 30, 2013

Sydney’s inner south-east suburb of mascot is due to get a whole lot busier with Harry Triguboff's Meriton Group announcing the first master planned community for the area.

Located at 19 – 33 Kent Road, mascot Central will consist of residential apartments, accommodation and a retail complex.

Designed by PTW Architects, mascot Central will house 1,000 residents in a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments across eight buildings, ranging in height to 14 levels.

The development will also include 255 fully serviced apartments and a neighbourhood shopping centre including Woolworths, a childcare centra and 15 specialty stores.

Other facilities include a 25-metre lap pool, children’s pool, spa and sauna and a gymnasium.

Meriton Group says mascot has benefited from a mini baby boom in Sydney’s inner city and an influx of affordable housing in the inner south.

The suburb has continued to grow with new restaurants, café and bike baths emerging in recent years. 

Meriton bought the 31,500-square-metre site for $100 million in 2013 from the Goodman Group.

Meriton has another development planned for mascot, alongside development projects in Waterloo, Ryde, North Sydney, Chatswood, Pagewood and Warriewood

The medium apartment price in Mascot is $595,200, according to RP Data.
