Construction starts on Marquet & Mary apartments in Rhodes
Deicorp has commenced construction on its latest project, Marquet & Mary in Rhodes, with a traditional sod-turn and blessing event attended by key project partners.
The event marked the beginning of a significant development that will see the construction of a 42-level tower comprising 274 apartments, with a portion designated as affordable housing for essential workers.
Marquet & Mary, located at the corner of Marquet and Mary streets, has been designed by Fender Katsalidis who won a design excellence competition to take the artchitectural reins.
The building will serve as a new landmark in the Rhodes town centre, with its design emphasising elegant internal apartment planning, a tripartite vertical rhythm on the facade, and a human-scaled design for the podium.
The tower will offer one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with views ranging from the Sydney skyline to the east to the Blue Mountains in the west.
In addition to residential spaces, the development will feature a four-level podium with commercial and retail spaces, along with a rooftop terrace, a courtyard garden, and a new public plaza at the southern entrance.
The project is strategically located within walking distance of Rhodes Train Station and is directly connected to Rhodes Central shopping centre.
Deicorp Chairman, Fouad Deiri OAM, highlighted the importance of collaboration in delivering projects of this scale and recognized the contributions of everyone involved in the project so far.
The Marquet & Mary development is part of a larger effort by Deicorp, which currently has 3,200 apartments under construction across Sydney, to provide the homes and communities needed in the area.
The development's swift approval by Canada Bay City Council and the record-setting sales achievements underscore the project's significance in the region.
An 87 sqm two-bedroom apartment on the 30th level recently set a suburb record by selling for $1.72 million, driven by Deicorp’s reputation and the impressive views offered by the property.
