Concept Design for Pyrmont Over-Station Tower Revealed

Sydney Metro's first of two Pyrmont over station developments in the rapidly changing Darling Island sub-precinct went on exhibition...

Sydney Metro has unveiled the concept designs for the future Pyrmont over-station development.

It is the first of two transit-oriented developments in the rapidly changing Darling Island sub-precinct to go on exhibition from the NSW Government. 

The project detailed design is scheduled for 2025 and construction slated to start in 2027 ahead of the west line opening for passengers in 2032.

This application covers the eastern tower at 37-69 Union Street, while the western tower will form part of a later application for 26-32 Pyrmont Bridge Street.

The renders show a 31-storey, mixed-use tower on the triangular 2610sq m site that would replace multi-storey commercial buildings, most of which have already been demolished.

This tower would comprise 23,463sq m of space over a five-storey podium with ground floor retail, commercial space and 55 parking spaces, and 160 apartments above.

There were multiple strategies applicable to the site, including the Pyrmont Peninsula Sub-Precinct Master Plans.

This shows the site, within the Darling Island sub-precinct, has the most capacity for change and growth in the next 20 years. 

This is already evident in the scale of development planned in the area as the future Pyrmont TODs sit between Mirvac’s Harbourside development, the Sydney Fish Market and Blackwattle Bay precinct.

“In 2041, the Pyrmont Peninsula will be an innovative, creative and cultural precinct and an engine room of the Eastern Harbour CBD,” the design report said.

“It will connect to the Innovation Corridor and other innovation and job precincts via Sydney Metro and complement the Sydney CBD.”

The design took inspiration from the “fine grain expression” seen in the former wool stores in the area as well as the Pyrmont Fire Station.

The original inception of the Pyrmont Station towers were revealed in October, 2022 and showed a golden design.

Tunnel borers have reached the halfway point of the Sydney Metro west line and investigations continue into a futher two stations.

This includes one at Rosehill-Camellia, which has the potential to spark development of a 350m-long beach on Parramatta River and $25 billion in private investment.
