Fyve Heads South for $20m Apartment Tower

Campbelltown Apartment Tower Hero

Weeks away from breaking ground on Liverpool’s tallest tower, Amen Zoabi and Khalil Hafza’s Fyve Group has moved 20km down the Hume Highway where they’re now asking Campbelltown City Council to approve an eight-storey residential development.

In an application lodged this week, Fyve say they want to build the 75-apartment tower on 2345sq m in Iolanthe Street, just a couple of blocks from the centre of Campbelltown.

Town planners GAT and Associates say the developers will demolish two single-storey houses and a two-storey commercial building on three of the seven lots that make up the parcel upon which they want to build.

The apartments will be a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom units. More than half of them will be two bedrooms and eight will meet adaptable housing requirements.

Two basement levels within the $20-million project will provide parking for 94 cars. A rooftop space of about 120sq m will include barbecue, lounge, and other facilities.

Those rooftop structures, plus lift overruns, will take the height of the building to 30.1m—higher than the 26m allowed in the council’s R4 high-density residential zone.

The developers have lodged a Clause 4.6 Variation, which in some circumstances may allow Campbelltown council to relax development standards in their local environmental plan (LEP).

The developers have lodged a Clause 4.6 Variation for the building, which at 30.1m exceeds the council’s height restrictions.
▲ The developers have lodged a Clause 4.6 Variation for the building, which at 30.1m exceeds the council’s height restrictions.

“It is our submission that the breach of the building height control will not unreasonably impact the amenity of the development or adjoining properties,” GAT and Associates told the council in their application.

“Rather, the proposal has resulted in an overall improvement through the provision of rooftop communal spaces. The variation does not compromise the architecture of the building or the bulk and scale of the development, nor create a negative precedent in the streetscape. 

“A degree of flexibility is considered reasonable in this instance.”

Zoabi and Hafza were born and raised in Sydney’s south-west, studying civil engineering at the local university. They started Binah Construction in 2004 and two years ago branched out into property development with Fyve.

Their major project to date is The Liverpool, a $200-million, 34-storey mixed-use tower in the city for which it’s named.  They say construction will begin next month.
