Recently rated Australia’s second-coolest suburb, Marrickville blurs the lines between its industrial past and its urban future with craft breweries and bars, a thriving arts scene and an annual street festival.

And more developers are moving into the trendy hotspot with an opportunity to capitalise on industrial land and its potential for rezoning and uplift as Greater Sydney grapples with housing affordability and supply issues.

TOGA, Rebel Property and Braxton Capital are collaborating on a high-tech industrial, retail and storage mixed-use building, Made Marrickville, which recently won approval.
