Piety Group submit final stage of Wentworth Point masterplan
Having completed One The Waterfront in Sydney's Wentworth Point, busy apartment developer Piety Group is onto its final stage of their Wentworth Point project.
They've submitted plans for two more buildings, at this stage just known as Building F and Building C, which will bring a further 155 apartments to the area which was not so long ago just mud flats.
The development will have 620 apartments across nine buildings with the new apartments since Piety Group started the $520 million development phase in 2010.
Turner Studio noted in their architectural report submitted to the Parramatta council that the architectural form of the two towers seeks to acknowledge the pattern of the substantially completed One The Waterfront residential development.

They noted that the built form of the previously approved development applications have allowed for stepping in the facade alignment, and substantial indents in the built form along Bennelong Parkway.
"These result in a highly articulated streetscape and urban design outcome," Turner suggested, adding that the proposed built form opens up view lines into the central podium courtyards to Bennelong Parkway that improves the permeability of the scheme.
"The new buildings are in keeping with their adjoining context and will marry with the remainder of the scheme. Their stepped building form will further enhance the articulation of the precinct’s streetscape."

They say the proposal significantly improves the building separation distances already achieved within the already completed components of the scheme.
Turner note that the proposal seeks to do better than 'business as usual' and has made the landscaping component key to the design excellence of the overall scheme.
"The proposal seeks to create a lush green landscape that frames and envelopes the proposed new Buildings E & F. These new additional landscaped spaces will complete a network of green links that connect Homebush Bay to the Millenium Parklands, and the adjacent Bay Park to the Haslams Creek wetlands."
