Builder developer Bathla has submitted $286 million plans for a new mixed-use development in Cabramatta.

The masterplan will comprise six buildings, each with a distinct architectural character, comprising a total of 673 apartments and 2,576 sqm of non-residential space.

They've commissioned HCKL Architecture to create a "vibrant and inclusive community by combining residential and mixed-use elements within the site."

Each building showcases unique architectural details, using materials such as timber-look cladding, concrete finishes, and varied render colours to create visually appealing structures.&nbsp;

The development will provide extensive public areas, including a plaza and park, to enhance community engagement and connectivity.

The layout strategically places the building blocks along the site's axis, creating a thoroughfare that links a proposed public plaza on Longfield Street with a park on Chadderton Street. Basement parking access points are situated at the four corners of the site.

Public landscaped areas and secure, enclosed "urban backyards" are integrated into the building footprints, offering a blend of public and private green spaces. These areas aim to balance urban and residential elements, providing serene environments amidst the bustling urban setting.

Project Breakdown:

<ul>
	<li>Block 1, located in the southwest corner, will feature 100 residential units and non-residential spaces on the ground level, opening onto a proposed plaza.</li>
	<li>Block 2, with 171 units, will be in the site's western middle section, offering an internal backyard for residents.</li>
	<li>Block 3, in the northwest corner, will include 96 units and provide seamless access to the proposed park.</li>
	<li>Block 4, situated in the northeast corner, will house 110 units and feature a secure internal backyard.</li>
	<li>Block 5, on the eastern side opposite Block 2, will have 126 units and an internal backyard.</li>
	<li>Block 6, with 70 units, will be on Longfield Street in the southeast corner, facing Block 1 and opening onto the vibrant plaza.</li>
</ul>

The masterplan will comprise six buildings, each with a distinct architectural character, comprising a total of 673 apartments

Bathla plots $286 million mixed-use development in Cabramatta

The Entrance, the picturesque tourist town located halfway between Newcastle and Sydney, is set for a rare new apartment development.

Sydney-based&nbsp;Bathla Group has unveiled grand plans for a major residential project on The Entrance Road.

The $102 million plans are set to transform 15 parcels of land at 9-33 The Entrance Road into a vibrant eight-tower community, which will take place across two stages.&nbsp;

The project, on a sprawling 19,294 sqm site, has been designed by architectural firms Embece and BVN, with the mixed-use proposal encompassing eight buildings, ranging from six to nine storeys.&nbsp;

Five of the buildings will be dedicated to residential purposes with one specifically designed to accommodate serviced apartments for a proposed hotel.

The plan consists of 308 residential apartments and 45 serviced apartments, offering a mix of 123 one-bedroom units, 155 two-bedroom units and&nbsp;129 three-bedroom units. There are also a number of four bedroom apartments.

The project also includes 11 food and retail premises on the lower floors.

A central aspect of the proposed development is the creation of a through-site link, aiming to establish a connected ground plane between the Clifford Street Roundabout to the southwest and the Entrance Road frontage to the north.

The through-site link will feature a landscaped design that preserves existing trees and vegetation, incorporating curved buffer planting for a meandering path that defines the site's character. Additionally, outdoor seating areas will be strategically placed, while decomposed granite pathways will be retained between existing trees, further enhancing the natural ambiance.

The development showcases a robust material palette with BVN taking inspiration from the site's proximity to the water.

"The podium, designed as a ribbon of textured masonry, draws inspiration from the warmth and movement of the silt and sand found at The Entrance," BVN said in their design report.

The buildings situated atop the podium continue the language of the base, with the continuity of masonry columns, expression of concrete slab edges, and textural elements in the screens.

"These upper-level structures adopt a more open and lightweight materiality and colour scheme to distinguish and articulate their presence. Glazed balustrades contribute to an open, inviting built form, while light-weight perforated screens provide privacy, solar protection, and uninterrupted views for the residents."

"Landscaped rooftops serve as a soft and natural overlay to the buildings, creating a harmonious integration with the surroundings."

The design approach for Buildings A, C, and E follows a tectonic style, employing vertical incisions to elongate the forms and curved corners to soften their appearance. These buildings will be predominantly white or shades of white, with battens, grooves, and privacy blades strategically incorporated to introduce texture, contrast, and unique interplay of light across the facades.

Buildings B and F will be located at the entry points to the site, adding an element of contrast and hierarchy to the overall precinct.

While they draw on similar materials as Buildings A, C, and E, they incorporate a greater variety of textures and colours.&nbsp;

Building D stands out as a unique structure within the complex, as it is the only building dedicated to serviced apartments. It also serves as the primary vehicular access point to the basement parking area.

In response to the changing lifestyle trends resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, most apartments have been designed to accommodate a study nook, providing residents with flexibility and space to work from home.

The orientation of the apartments has been carefully considered to maximise access to the views surrounding the site. Solid spandrels in the podium and perforated screens have been integrated to address privacy concerns while ensuring ample daylight and uninterrupted views for the residents.

By separating the built form into distinct buildings, the design maximises cross ventilation, offering an increased number of corner apartments and two-story units with access to ventilated skylights.&nbsp;

The landscape design of the development pays homage to the unique character of The Entrance, aiming to create inviting and vibrant spaces for both residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors. The ground floor features retail spill-out areas that offer connections and views across Tuggerah Lake. New street tree planting provides shade to the plaza and building awnings, further enhancing the pedestrian experience.

On level two, residents will have access to communal open spaces that provide opportunities for play, social gatherings, and relaxation amidst lush gardens. There'll also be rooftop communal space provided, with seating options, outdoor dining, yoga and exercise space, and even a communal kitchen garden.

Bathla Group unveil grand plans for new apartment development in The Entrance

Bhart Bhushan’s Bathla Group are set to add Queensland to their ever evolving pipeline, with the group lodging plans for a $32.4 million Moreton Bay development.

The prominent Sydney developers are set to make waves in Deception Bay, with plans for two residential buildings that will deliver 101 apartments upon completion at 7 Captain Cook Parade.

Bathla bought the 2,908 sqm site for $1.865 million, from Chinese investor&nbsp;Wenxing Ma, who has previously lodged ambitious plans for a 94-level Broadbeach tower.&nbsp;

Situated across an amalgamated lot along Captain Cook Parade and Wallin Avenue, Bathla will construct Building A, which will comprise just three three-bedroom apartments, as well as Building B, which will offer a mix of apartment types.&nbsp;

There'll be six one-bedroom apartments in Building B, along with 50 two-bed units, 40 three-bedders, eight four-bed apartments, and just one five-bedroom unit.

The group engaged architecture firm Jackson Teece to design the two buildings, which heavily feature aluminium windows and timber cladding.

Each building will be crowned with a rooftop terrace, with four separate spaces set to don the rooftops, providing a range of open, breakout spaces for residents.&nbsp;

Both buildings will benefit from their own lift access, as well as basement car parking which will accomodate 110 vehicles and 81 bicycles.&nbsp;

The site will put residents within walking distance to the water and local boat ramp, as well as a number of parks and open green space, including Bancroft Park and Wallin Family Park.&nbsp;

First look: Bathla lodges plans for Moreton Bay apartment development 

Castle Hill is set to see two huge new apartment developments that will bring well over 600 apartments to the burgeoning suburb.

Sydney developer Bathla Group are behind one of the two projects submitted to the local council in the last week.

The prominent Greater Sydney developer is planning a near $80 million, 350-apartment development&nbsp;across a 1.77 hectare site incorporating Dawes, Hughes, and Middleton Avenue's, will see the 350 apartments built across four buildings on the huge 1.77 hectare site.

The site, in the continually transforming Showground Station Precinct, is an amalgamation of 19 sites with 19 separate dwellings. It's just 300 metres from the Hills Showground Railway Station.

Bathla's plans are for 60 one-bed apartments, 205 two-beds, and 85 three-bed units. There will be 487 parking spaces, 407 for residents and 80 for visitors, as well as 10 motorcycle spaces and 151 bicycle parking spaces.

The apartments will be spread across four buildings. Building A will have&nbsp;103 apartments, Building B 106, Building C 95, and Building D just 46. Each will rise six levels.

Plus Architecture noted in their architectural design statement that the development seeks to maintain a green and walkable setting, in keeping with the residential areas in Castle Hill which have lush landscaping with established street trees following the undulating topography.

"The proposal provides extensive green spaces through multiple open spaces, tree lined streets and garden areas within the street setbacks," Plus stated.

"The ground plane provides connectivity between the public domains and communal open spaces for the residents and general public."

"The proposal generally has four-storey articulated base podium to respond to the pedestrian movement and human scale. The four-storey podium is further broken down with various facade materiality and articulations to be expressed as either single or double storey expression from the ground to be sympathetic to the existing pedestrian network."

Just a 200 metre walk around the corner is another massive 1.6 hectare site which has plans for 315 apartments lodged this week.

The proposed Place Studios development. Image credit: Place Studios

There will be eight buildings in the $80 million development which fronts Dawes and Hughes Avenue and Cadman Crescent, with the plans submitted by town planners BMA Urban on behalf of architects Place Studio. 515 residential car spaces have been planned, a further 62 visitors spaces, 205 bicycle spaces, and 31 motorbike spaces.

It was noted in the submission that Place wanted to "deliver&nbsp;an architecturally unique and contemporary development that strives to set a new standard for high amenity residential developments."

They are seeking to deliver a modulated skyline with a variety of building heights, with taller elements creating visual interest.

Zenith Landscape Design are across the landscaping. The strategy from them "seeks to provide residents with a diversity of spaces and activities for their leisure that are both attractive and functional.

"The design aims to deliver opportunities for community gathering and private retreats across both the ground floor and rooftops. Large open lawns, seating pods and passive retreats have been integrated into the ground floor communal open space and is connected by a number of pedestrian paths through the development."

First look: Castle Hill set for two huge new apartment developments

A new 600-plus apartment development is heading for the heart&nbsp;of Sydney&#39;s Box Hill.

The prominent Western Sydney property developer, Bathla Group, is set to create 637 apartments across eight low to mid-rise buildings at 34 Terry Road, which have been designed by WMK Architecture to suit the needs of the future community and to cater for a wide cross section of buyers..

There will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as two, three and four-bedroom townhouses. There will also be a selection of four-bedroom sky terraces on offer.

Each apartment is inclusive of views and private open space, with the sky terraces featuring&nbsp;expansive roof terraces, privately accessed, giving views across the Hills Shire region.

WMK said in their design statement that the&nbsp;proposal will provide well-designed housing stock in an area where there is a strong demand for this type of development.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/34-terry-road-box-hill"><img alt="" height="858" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-05-03_at_8.46.36_pm.png" width="2142" /></a> 
View of the proposed development&rsquo;s central spine from Skarratt St. Image by WMK. &nbsp;

&quot;It&rsquo;s designed to encourage social interaction and engagement through the creation of large common courtyards at the ground level, as well as a community room.&quot;

The project is not only divided into a total of eight buildings, in a bid to reduce the overall massing, but it is further split into precincts with Block A and C dubbed&nbsp;the Green Precinct. They will feature&nbsp;facades along the northern edge defined by a gridded column and beam aesthetic, taking inspiration from the traditional veranda typology.

Blocks B and D will be known as the Heritage Precinct, with facades featuring a horizontal emphasis and&nbsp;a terracotta red, brown and grey palette in response to the existing buildings on the site and the heritage zone to the south. Blocks E and F are within the Urban Precinct, delivering a formal fa&ccedil;ade articulation with a more vertical expression, incorporating strong vertical dividing walls and shading elements throughout.

A pool has been proposed in the courtyard of Block C along with a community room on the ground floor of Block D, which will be accessible to all residents.

<img alt="" height="445" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-05-04_at_2.54.56_pm.png" width="1144" />

The Box Hill development lands in an area with a variety of mixed uses that is undergoing significant change, which when completed will include a new retail centre opposite Terry Road, recently completed apartment developments, and sites making their way through the planning process.

&ldquo;The proposal together with the adjacent Town Centre contribute toward ensuring the future Box Hill area is fulfilling its economic, social and creative potential,&rdquo; WMK added.

The use of simple but articulated detailing of corners, window reveals, vertical grids and feature boxes, with varying scales of detail, are employed to avoid large, flat planes and break the building mass and building height.

&ldquo;The proposed design responds to the change from low-scale conservation area to high-density apartment developments and is to be read as a &lsquo;family&rsquo; of buildings rather than a monolithic development&rdquo;, said WMK.

Landscaping has been designed throughout the precinct by landscape architects, A Total Concept, creating a contemporary, functional and aesthetically pleasing landscape that seamlessly blends with the built form and surround area.

Bathla Group have previously developed in the area, with the Pinnacle Collection, which was released in three stages in the heart of Schofields. Just down the road from the future Box Hill development, Pinnacle delivers a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, conveniently located within walking distance to shops, eateries, schools and public transport.

The group currently have a number of other residential developments in the pipeline with a range of town houses and villas, apartments, and house and land projects currently under construction or in planning. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=6509]

The apartments will include a mix of one, two and three-bedroom sing-storey apartments, two, three and four-bedroom two-storey townhouses, along with two, three and four-bedroom two-storey sky terraces.
