Sydney architects, Crone have designed the plans for the developments, which take inspiration from the neighbouring Mountains locale.
The first development application lodged encompasses what is known as Tower A and Tower B, while the second is for Tower’s C and D.
Located at 184 Lord Sheffield Circuit, the plans will deliver 553 apartments, along with over 6,000 sqm of commercial space.
Different types of apartment typologies have been designed to accommodate households with different needs, particularly suited to the local market, including two-storey townhouses, with direct street access and generous courtyards, as well as generously-sized studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments with views to the Blue Mountains.
Tower A will rise 27-storeys, with 241 apartments, while Tower B is only permitted to rise nine-storeys, with a total of 75 apartments.
A five-storey podium will be included at the bottom of the building, with retail tenancies, a supermarket, residential and commercial lobbies, and a loading docks.

Tower C will rise to 14-storeys, with 74 apartments, and Tower D will rise to 26-levels with 163 apartments.
