About the project
A State Significant Development Application (SSDA) is being prepared for 205–225 Euston Road, Alexandria, which aims to set a new benchmark for architecturally designed homes close to open space and public transport.
Currently occupied by two vacant multi-storey commercial buildings, the redevelopment seeks to ‘Grow Community from Park and Country’ for future residents, drawing inspiration from its location adjacent to Sydney Park. Aside from providing architecturally designed homes in a well-located area, the proposal will provide a diverse range of community benefits. These include the dedication of approximately 23 homes to affordable housing in perpetuity. the creation of ground level retail, a café and a childcare centre will also be created. Beautification of Euston Road through lush landscaping, weather protection and vibrant public art will provide further benefit to the locale.
The SSDA
A State Significant Development Application (SSDA) (recommended by the Housing Delivery Authority) is currently being prepared. In accordance with Government policy, and as part of the HDA process, the proposal is also seeking to amend the Local Environment Plan (LEP) to allow an increase to the site's use, height and floor space ratio. This is to facilitate the delivery of the proposal.
