Bella Vista

Just seven weeks after the rezoning of the Bella Vista precinct, Sydney developer Landen has filed plans to create a six-building project just off Old Windsor Road.

The project at 40 Memorial Avenue, an 18,790 sqm site Landen secured toward the back end of last year, will have 244 apartments and will take advantage of the rezoning, which now allows for a mix of R4 high-density residential and R3 medium density residential.

The six buildings will rise between five and seven storeys, and will sit in 9560 sqm of landscaping, almost half of the size of the site.

Just over 20 per cent of the development will be one-bed apartments (50 units), a mix of smaller and larger configurations (some at 58 sqm).

Nearly 60 per cent of the apartments on offer will be two-bedders (127 units), again with a collection of larger two-bed apartments at 110 sqm.

The remanining apartments are three bedrooms (47), and will have some larger product spanning 135 sqm. There will also be a handful of two-level townhomes.

In the design statement submitted to the Hills Shire Council, architecture firm Turner said the&nbsp;architectural form seeks to acknowledge its surroundings in its design strategy.

"The proposed development will provide a built environment suited to the context that responds to the desired future characteristics of the area, while taking cues from the existing context in terms of landscaping and materials."

They cited the local Bella Vista Farm, which was established in the late 1700s, as an inspiration for their design of the new project.

"The proposed design seeks to be place-specific and connected to the history of the area. We aim to reinterpret historical references in a new and contemporary manner."

It's the homestead in particular Turner reference.

"Due to its cultural significance to the nation, Turner feels it is appropriate for the proposal to pay homage to the existing landscape, use and architecture of the area by setting buildings within the landscape and taking design cues from Australian vernacular architecture as exemplified by this two-storey homestead within the Bella Vista Farm complex."

The project will be delivered in three phases; the first demolition and two new roads, and half of the buildings. The final three buildings, including a landscaped podium with a resident swimming pool connecting two buildings, will be part of phase two. Phase three will see a community area and park developed.

There will be sustainability initiatives at the project, including provisions for 100 per cent charging EV, low e-glazing, and bicycle parking.

The project, to be delivered in three phases, will have 244 apartments and will take advantage of the rezoning, which now allows for a mix of R4 high-density residential and R3 medium density residential.
