First look: Rare new off the plan apartment development set for North Curl Curl
Grant Price's Balito Investments has submitted a development application for a new mixed-use building in North Curl Curl.
The new mixed-use development at 142-146 Pitt Road, near Curl Curl North Public School, will comprise 11 apartments across a low-rise, three-level building. They will sit atop five retail tenancies.
Designed by Warren and Mahoney, the proposed building's exterior will feature metal stud and brick walls, timber cladding, screens, and concrete edge planter boxes to reflect the natural materials and tones of the local area.
The ground floor will feature five retail tenancies totalling 333 sqm, while the upper floors will house a mix of two two-bedroom units, eight three-bedroom units, and one four-bedroom unit with amenities such as garden spaces, internal courtyards, and outlooks towards the northern beaches.
"The development is an elegant coming together of retail and commercial uses and high-quality residential units that provide a harmonious relationship between built form and landscape," Warren & Mahoney noted in the planning application submitted to the Northern Beaches Council.
The development will also incorporate green roofs and vegetation to enhance biodiversity and reduce the urban heat island effect. The landscape design features drought-resistant, locally appropriate species that will improve the site's green links.
The basement level will include parking for 22 vehicles and 16 bicycle spaces.
The site is conveniently located approximately 1.3 kilometres from North Curl Curl Beach, one of Sydney's premier surfing beaches, and is well-serviced by public transport, with a bus stop 120 metres west of the site.
