Harry Triguboff's Meriton has submitted plans for its latest apartment development in Sydney's Zetland.

Having already completed several buildings in Zetland in the last decade, Meriton is proposing another two more, one 26-level high-rise with 230 apartments, the other eight levels with 72 apartments and 28 townhouses.

Part of the $221 million proposal for 905 South Dowling Street is for a 125-place childcare centre, a supermarket, and three basement levels for 444 cars. 

The application aligns with the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 and the Sydney Development Control Plan 2012 and is part of a broader effort to redevelop the site at 118-130 Epsom Road and 905 South Dowling Street, which is strategically located within a corridor between the Sydney CBD and the airport.

 

The main tower will have 31 one-beds, 152 two-bed apartments, and 47 three-beds.

Mako Architecture and Aileen Sage Architects won the Competitive Design Alternatives Process undertaken by Meriton at the start of 2024.

 

The diversity of dwelling types allows for a range of living configurations, making the project suitable for various household sizes and needs, including work-from-home arrangements.

The proposed development also includes extensive landscaping and green corridors that aim to enhance the site's integration with its surroundings. A communal terrace on the rooftop of the tower and another on the podium level will offer shared outdoor spaces for residents. 

 

Earlier this year Meriton sold out its 260-apartment development, Allegra, which they completed mid-last year.

Fellow high-rise developer Deicorp is also in planning mode in Zetland. In July they filed plans for Joynton Square, nine new buildings at the end of Zetland Avenue, near Gunyama Park. There will be a total of 574 apartments at a cost of just over $300 million.
