Club Ryde Slashes Storeys in Rework of $245m Precinct Proposal

Under the application and a concurrent rezoning proposal, a floor space ratio of 4.67:1 at the 9072sq m site would yield 42,178sq m of gross floor area.

Of that, the residential space of 40,849sq m would include 463 apartments, including a 15 per cent affordable component of 74 units.

Typologies would include 17 one-bedroom, 320 two-bedroom and 52 three-bedroom homes.

A combination of 664 residential car parking spaces and 120 spaces for club visitors, would be provided in seven basement levels.

▲ Affordable homes would be managed by Evolve Housing for 15 years.

New club premises, a publicly accessible through-link and public open space are among uses proposed for the ground plane.

An earlier version of the proposal was floated in 2025, but did not progress past the SEARs stage. According to the application, feedback received from the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure led to a rework.

That earlier scheme included 30-storey and 45-storey towers, with a combined yield across the project of 551 apartments.

Car parking has also been reduced from the 889 spaces initially proposed.

▲ Projects in the vicinity are proposing structures up to 20 storeys, including a neighbouring scheme at 18 storeys.

The club premises are 450m south of Top Ryde, which sold in October 2025 for $525 million.

That shopping centre is also next to Sasco’s $61-million, 114-apartment scheme, which itself overlooks Ryde Council’s failed $110-million New Heart of Ryde project.

Elsewhere at Ryde, heights are being pushed at Holdmark’s $55-million, 10-storey tower at 155-157 Church Street.

And at 96 Anzac Avenue, Scion Group exhibited plans in February to redevelop its own head office, replacing the two-storey commercial building with a 22-storey tower.
