Plans lodged for 32-storey Liverpool apartment tower
Developer Australasian Property Group has submitted plans for a 31-story residential tower on one of Liverpool's most sought-after streets.
Located in Sydney’s growth corridor in the west, near the new airport, the $133 million development at 402 Macquarie Street which will have a mix of apartments and hotel rooms.
Designed by Olsson Architecture, there will be 168 apartments and a 198-room hotel, as well as a range of communal spaces, a gym, and ground-floor retail space.
Taking advantage of a regulatory loophole that will allow it to sidestep building height restrictions in the area, the mixed-use tower will be a welcome addition to the suburb, which has experienced a lack of housing supply in recent times.
The group were able to navigate around planning restrictions by including the space for the hotel, under a bonus scheme plan that states if 20 per cent or more of the gross floor area serves as a hotel, existing height restrictions may be exceeded.
Future residents will not only benefit from the in-house residential amenities proposed, but also from the features planned for the hotel, which include conference facilities, offices, a restaurant, dining rooms, and a bar.
The hotel will span from level two through to seven, with the apartments from level nine through to level 29.
A mix of floorplans will be on offer in the tower, with one, two and three-bedroom apartments planned.
A communal rooftop space will crown the tower, complete with resident's lounges and alfresco dining space, with extensive landscaping also planned for the space.
