A $172 million mixed-use precinct has been proposed for Castle Hill in Sydney’s north west.
The four-tower development designed by Turner will be situated across the road from the recently completed Hill Showgrounds Metro Station.
The development will include four residential towers of up to 20 storeys containing 431 units, including 22 affordable units.
The podium of the towers will accommodate a supermarket, shops, offices and community facilities.
The development will also include 1,400 square metres of communal open space. It will be the first of three precincts in the area.
“The podium base avoids a single big box retail solution, and has been designed as a series of smaller scale buildings, ranging from two to four storeys, that are varied in character,” said the architects in a statement.
“Collectively, this grouping of buildings creates a dynamic, fine-grain, and interesting street interface.
“The towers over further inform the streetscape in their anchoring of the site in each corner.
“Each of the buildings has an individual building expression that allows for a variance in architectural character within the proposal.”
The proposal is open for public comment until 30 August.
