Mr Vidor said the ground breaking marks the start of the much-anticipated regeneration of the iconic site. &nbsp;

<blockquote>
&nbsp;&ldquo;We are very proud to be leading the transformation of this important site that will be a catalyst for the future shape of Sydney&rsquo;s inner city. Our vision is to deliver a precinct that will celebrate the authenticity of the neighbourhood whilst also bringing the energy of new people and businesses to the suburb.&nbsp;

&ldquo;For our future residents, locals and visitors, we are creating a destination that will enrich the area, with exceptional dining and bars alongside some of Sydney&rsquo;s best providores within a new retail laneway, commercial office building and public park. In addition, the precinct will include a boutique 102 room hotel with roof top pool and bar making Surry Hills Village a truly unique, once in a generation project that the community will enjoy for many years to come&rdquo;.&nbsp;

Adam Haddow, SJB Architects director and a Surry Hills local, says because of the location of Surry Hills Village,&nbsp;near SJB&#39;s office, the team are hugely passionate about the significant project and the opportunity it presents for the neighbourhood.

&ldquo;Paying homage to the history of the site and building, while ensuring a blend of retail, residential, hotel and commercial space that feels at one with the street environment was a priority. We set out to revitalise the site and to create a space that locals can be proud of.&rdquo;

Surry Hills Village plans finalised as TOGA officially break ground

Penrith in Sydney's west is shaping up as one of the city's newest growth hotspots.
The population levels are expected to jump from 195,000 to 260,000 by 2031, and the area's economic catchment is tipped to expand to one million people over the same period.
A number of property developments are slated for the suburb.
The latest is Toga's newest development, Penway Place, on the corner of Union Place and Mulgoa Road.
The first stage of the development will comprise 81 apartments, designed by SJB Architects who won the recent design competition.
They will work with their design partner Architect Prineas on the four-building development that provides a new urban residential and mixed-use precinct.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/5/2/penway2.jpg" alt="">
Fabrizio Perilli, TOGA CEO, said SJB’s design stood out in what was a high-quality field of design competition entrants.
“We received some truly fantastic submissions from highly-respected design and architecture firms, but at the end of the day, SJB and Architect Prineas’ concept for Penway Place most closely matched our own vision for this part of Penrith and the community,” Perilli said.
“The development will draw on feedback from local residents by directly connecting with its environment and the local landscape, finding inspiration in natural elements such as layered barks, gum leaves and earthy textures.
“The project’s key theme is ‘Live Your Way’, and what SJB have put forward will allow the growing Penrith community at Penway Place to enjoy life to the fullest in what is being termed Sydney’s ‘New West’.” 
The first release of the development is set to feature a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with a number offering views to the Nepean River and neighbouring Blue Mountains. 
Penway Place is also planned to include a vibrant public plaza and retail precinct, providing a lively space for Penrith locals and visitors to enjoy.
There will be a private landscaped podium with a BBQ and seating areas, a community garden, gym, multi-purpose / kids play room and outdoor dog park.
The idea of the ‘New West’ is a key driver in Penrith City Council’s Economic Development Strategy, which has outlined a vision targeting an increase of between 42,000 and 55,000 local jobs by 2031 – across the health, education, tourism, arts and culture, advanced manufacturing and advanced logistics sectors – further boosting the suburb’s future prospects.
“Looking ahead at what the next decade or so will mean for Penrith, it’s exciting times,” Perilli added..
“This population will undoubtedly need access to quality, affordable housing, from first homebuyers to downsizing locals, and this is what we are aiming to provide for the community.”

Penrith skyline to be transformed as population growth expected

A former car yard has been transformed into a thriving residential hub following the completed construction of a $270-million master-planned community at Hurstville.
Australian hotelier and developer TOGA has completed construction at Highpoint Hurstville; a three-tower 448-apartment development located at the highest topographic point in Hurstville City.
<img src="/images/2016/09/28/Screen%20Shot%202016-09-28%20at%204.11.27%20PM.png" alt="">
More than 800 residents now occupy the Stanisic Architects-designed development.
TOGA Development and Construction Chief Executive Officer Fabrizio Perilli said Highpoint Hurstville delivered high-quality and convenient living to one of Sydney’s most central locations.  
“Highpoint Hurstville is centrally located to access both the CBD and the airport with an abundance of direct transport links, shopping amenities and educational facilities,” Mr Perilli said.  
“What was once a well-known car yard has been transformed into high-quality inclusive living with every imaginable convenience at the doorstep of residents,” he said.   
“The result is a vibrant built environment aligned with TOGA’s strategy to improve the quality of housing in high-growth locations across Sydney,” Mr Perilli added.
Set on over 8000sqm, Highpoint Hurstville features extensive outdoor leisure areas including landscaped gardens at ground-level and a 200sqm rooftop garden furnished with sheltered seating.
<img src="/images/2016/09/28/highpoint1.jpg" alt="">
TOGA General Manager of Sales, Marketing and Property Management Alex Adams said to sell-out hundreds of apartments shortly after construction commenced was an impressive milestone.
“Highpoint Hurstville has been incredibly popular with buyers with all 448 apartments selling out immediately after construction commenced,” Mr Adams said.
“The site’s unique elevation, spectacular views and excellent location all come together to create an exceptional standard of living,” he said.
Many apartments at Highpoint Hurstville boast spectacular views to the Sydney CBD, George’s River and surrounds; captured by floor-to-ceiling glazing and alfresco terraces.
“We are thrilled to see our vision for Highpoint Hurstville translate into the gateway precinct it is today,” Mr Adams added.
Located in Hurstville’s city centre, Highpoint Hurstville is located 16 kilometres from the Sydney CBD and 800 metres from Hurstville Station; at 458 Forest Road.
Residents are within walking distance to nearby Hurstville Westfield, the railway station as well as the pedestrian strip shopping dotted along Forest Road.
Highpoint Hurstville is anchored by four retail shopfronts at street level and replaces the former Dominelli Ford car yard site.
Construction at Highpoint Hurstville commenced in February 2014 and was completed in July this year.
The completion adds to the developer’s year of success after TOGA sold more than 80 per cent of apartments in its 192-residence tower One Twenty Macquarie at the one-day sales launch in March this year.

TOGA completes high-quality Highpoint Hurstville masterplan

<html><body>
A building in Sydney awaiting development approval has been temporarily donated by the TOGA property group to address youth homelessness.
TOGA, in partnership with joint owner Qualitas, announced the former Addison Hotel in Kensington had transformed into pop-up accommodation for vulnerable youth.
After making available the vacant building revenue-free, it is set to house more than 42 vulnerable youth. 
TOGA has made available the former hotel to My Foundations Youth Housing for a minimum of 12 months. 
The Addison Hotel forms part of a mixed-use development proposal lodged for the site at 147 Anzac Parade and adjoining property.
The Addison Project will be operated by community housing provider My Foundations Youth Housing.
TOGA Group of Companies managing director Allan Vidor said that constructive partnerships between the private and public sectors, and sensible planning reform, had the power to address the housing challenges facing vulnerable young people in Sydney. 
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/04/03/170331_AddisonProject_0155.jpg" alt="">

Pru Goward; Minister for Family and Community Services, Mark Fischer; Qualitas Managing Director – Principal Investments and Allan Vidor, Managing Director of the TOGA Group of Companies
“By making available our building we hope to make a difference in the lives of those who stay at The Addison Project as well as inspire other property owners to consider utilising their vacant assets,” said Mr Vidor.
“Together, the private and public sectors must work toward meaningful planning reform which has the potential to unlock many opportunities to make empty buildings across Sydney immediately available to those who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
No single level of government or service can tackle youth homelessness – innovative solutions must be borne from innovative collaborations between public and private sectors, Mr Vidor added.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/04/03/170123_TL_AddisonHotel_0054.jpg" alt="">
The former hotel contains 42 fully-furnished rooms, each with a bathroom and kitchenette, set across three-storeys; creating an appropriate short-term accommodation option for youth.
My Foundations Youth Housing Chair, Assoc. Professor David McKenzie said The Addison Project would provide both crisis accommodation for those at risk of homelessness and young people with a safe space to live and study while they work to secure more permanent solutions and stabilise their circumstances.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/04/03/170331_AddisonProject_0187.jpg" alt="">
“The Addison Project is an excellent example of seizing an opportunity to provide a bold and innovative solution.
"Whilst not intended as a solution to homelessness, it is a positive step in the right direction while we work towards addressing the provision of housing in a practical and immediate way,” Mr McKenzie said.
The Addison Project will target youth at risk of homelessness aged between 16 and 24; with young people holding less than 2 per cent of the 140,000 Social Housing tenancies across NSW.
Family and Community Services (FACS) will refer up to 14 rooms to those in-need of Temporary Accommodation.
The Addison Project also includes an anchoring retail space where OzHarvest will open Australia’s first ever rescued food supermarket – OzHarvest Market – next month.
Ronni Kahn, CEO and Founder of OzHarvest said the Australian first would be a pop-up marketplace providing rescued food sourced from its existing local donor network and available on a ‘take what you need, pay what you can’ basis.
“We are thrilled to be part of this ground-breaking project with TOGA and are excited to be transforming the donated space into Australia’s first rescued food supermarket,” said Ms Kahn.
“The OzHarvest Market will be opening its doors soon, making sure good food does not go to waste and is available to everyone, especially to those who need it most.”
This initiative will be jointly supported by leading innovators in social enterprise Orange Sky Laundry and Thread Together who will contribute by providing vital on-site services.

TOGA donates vacant Kensington hotel building to address youth homelessness

TOGA's development application for the first stage of Penway Place at Penrith has been approved.
The new residential community is set to commence construction in 2020 with completion expected by mid-2022. 
Penway Place is located on the corner of Union Place and High Street, marking the new gateway to Penrith CBD.
The area will benefit from significant government investment in infrastructure including a $1 billion upgrade to Nepean Hospital and an expected 42,000 to 55,000 extra jobs created by 2031.
Set to become the ‘New West’, Penrith is fast transforming into Sydney’s third CBD, TOGA chief Fabrizio Perilli said, with over 60,000 new residents expected in Penrith by 2031. 
SJB Architects and their design partner Architect Prineas were commissioned for the new urban residential and mixed-use precinct proposal.
The first stage of the larger masterplan for Penway Place will comprise two residential towers rising above a three-storey podium, featuring ground level retail and three levels of car parking. 
It will also feature a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with a number of them with views to the Nepean River and neighbouring Blue Mountains.
Penway Place is on the doorstep of a major Westfield shopping centre, a few minutes’ walk to Penrith train station and down the road from the Penrith Panthers Leagues Club.

Penway Place, TOGA’s Penrith project secures approval

TOGA has announced the construction completion of The Hunter, its luxury five level residential development in Sydney’s Double Bay.
With 100 per cent of settlements completed, the first residents at the development have moved into their new homes, across a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
And its first resale has hit the market.
It's the three bedroom sub-penthouse which was bought for $4.75 million off the plan in 2016.
The sale fell within the $4.7 million - $5 million price expectation of Laing + Simmons agent Steven Zoellner.
Spanning 180 sqm, the apartment on the fourth floor north east corner has been listed to go under the hammer October 19.
Domain puts Double Bay's three bedroom apartment median price at $3.088 million, a tad higher than realestate's $2.96 million median.
A first floor two bedroom apartment in the block, which traded for $2.9 million in May, recently sought tenants at $1,650 a week. 
Designed by Sydney-based architects Cottee Parker JPRA, the $50 million Cross Street complex has 13 apartments with an as yet unoccupied retail offering on the ground floor.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2020/10/8/toga.png" alt="">
The development sold within two weeks of being put to the market<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/expert-insights/buying/63162-toga-sells-out-the-hunter-at-double-bay" target="_blank"> in late 2016</a>. Construction had been scheduled to commence in mid-2017 with completion initially set for early 2019.
Fabrizio Perilli, chief executive of TOGA, said the residences are an example of modern luxury living.
“We’ve had a very positive response from resident’s moving in who love their new homes and have already seen an increase in the value of their property since their purchase”, Perilli said.
“Delivering The Hunter to the highest standards, within the context of COVID-19 is a testament to our team and our integrated property capability.”
TOGA paid just over $11.2 million for 16 and 18 Cross Street site consolidation in early 2015.
Construction of TOGA’s newest mixed-use communities, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/surry-hills-village-399-cleveland-street-redfern?utm_source=PropertyObserver" target="_blank">Surry Hills Village</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/wicks-park-186-victoria-road-marrickville" target="_blank">Wicks Place Marrickville</a>, are set to start in the first half of 2021.
TOGA was founded by Ervin Vidor in 1963.

Three years ago, property developer TOGA acquired the prominent 1.2-hectare Surry Hills Village site. Today, after a series of development application setbacks and design iterations, the final planning application for the new mixed-use precinct has been granted approval by the City of Sydney.

Situated on the corner of Cleveland and Baptist Streets, the prolific heritage building will be retained, while a new series of residential buildings, as well as retail and dining spaces, will be constructed to complement the striking central structure.

The design team consists of some of Australia’s most talented architects, urban planners and interior designers, who aim to revitalise the site, reactivating the streetscape as a place to live, work and play.
