Coronation’s Lower North Shore Highrise Goes Public

Coronation Chatswood EDM

Plans are in progress for a tower with a heritage adaptive reuse component in a blue-chip suburb on Sydney’s north side.

Coronation Property’s plans for its project at Chatswood are currently on exhibition as a State Significant Development. 

Proposed is a shoptop housing development incorporating infill affordable housing at 57-61 Archer Street and 34 Albert Avenue in the Lower North Shore suburb.

The site is 250m from Chatswood Westfield and Chatswood Chase shopping centres, and within 600m from the Chatswood Transport Interchange, providing rail, metro and bus connections.

The development application details a three-storey podium below a 29-storey residential tower of 150 apartments. 

Proposed are six studio, 58 one, 43 two, 34 three, and 9 four-bedroom apartments. Of those, 41 will be affordable units, in keeping with the requirements for the NSW Government’s Infill Affordable policy, which makes allowances for height and floor space ratio for a designated affordable component.

Five basement levels would have 169 carparking spaces. 

The plans also detail the adaptive reuse of a heritage house at 34 Albert Avenue, which would be used as a restaurant and “pocket park”.

John Mansley built that house on his land in 1898 and it is listed as a heritage item within the City of Willoughby.

Coronation acquired the 2644q m site in the suburb in 2022 for $200 million.

The project is expected to cost $108 million.

The development application said it would provide a range of housing types, layouts and sizes, and “deliver critical housing that provides enhanced liveability, as well as universal design elements that address the needs of families, young people, older people and those with a disability alike”.

Approvals for demolition and early works have already been granted for the site.

The Lower North Shore suburb has attracted considerable development in recent years, including Iwan Sunito’s dual-tower project put on exhibition last year, with another two towers in the area planned by Billbergia.
