Third.i’s North Shore Shoptop Apartments Top Out

The $180-million Balfour Place development, Third.i’s project in Sydney leafy Upper North Shore, has topped out.

The Lindfield project will eventually deliver a mixed-use precinct spanning a 7000sq m site that was formerly a Coles supermarket.

Lead by high-profile developer Third.i  with joint-venture partner Phoenix Property Investors (PPI), the shoptop mixed-use project’s structural works are now done.

Work on the block at Balfour Street got under way in March of last year and is due to complete in early 2025. Conquest is the builder.

Balfour Place will comprise 59 apartments designed by Rothelowman in a mix of one, two, three and four bedrooms, on top of 4500sq m of retail and hospitality spaces, including a Coles supermarket.

The project launched to the market in April, 2022, selling out within a matter of weeks.

Third.i co-founder Luke Berry said they had “tailored Balfour Place to meet the evolving needs of the market, particularly focusing on providing larger living spaces that are ideal for residents”.

The Coles at Balfour Place will be double the size of the prior store and will include a Liqourland and heritage commercial space fronting the Pacific Highway.

More than 230 carparking spaces will span across two levels.
