ALAND lodge plans for second stage of $800 million The Gladstone Village
Sydney developers, ALAND, have submitted plans for the second stage of its transformational Merrylands development, The Gladstone Village.
The $800 million project’s second stage will top out at 20-storeys, comprising 245 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with three ground floor retail spaces and a large residents’-only rooftop terrace.
ALAND engaged a top tier consultancy team, including PTW Architects, Land & Form Studio Landscape Architects and Think Planning, to collaborate on the design.
Head of Development, Ryan Lane said they partnered with leading design groups to elevate the standard of design and living in Merrylands.
“We are fortunate to work with an experienced team who have designed a product that is a game-changer for Merrylands, there is really nothing else like it in the area,” he said.
“The team brings a diverse background designing high-density mixed-use projects that have best-in-class urban design. The result for Merrylands will be a contemporary and well-rounded design that will be a wonderful place for residents to live and one that considers the surrounding environment.”
28 one-bedders are slated to be constructed as part of stage two, in addition to 196 two-bedroom and 21 three-bedroom apartments.
Senior Development Manager, Anas Rahhal said the apartments have been crafted to cater to the current and future needs of residents, with Western Sydney’s population pitched to only increase.
“We’re catering to the evolving needs of future residents, as such our floorplans have been designed above industry standards, offering generous areas and support the need to work from home by including larger study areas and generous living spaces ranging. with apartment sizes ranging between 53 - 124 sqm,” he said.
“The project is set to provide best-in-class precinct living in this region, with ultra-convenience having the transport interchange, shopping centre, open space all at your doorstep,” Rahhal added.
On the top level, residents will have access to a 940 sqm rooftop terrace providing a variety of amenity, including an outdoor cinema screen, a barbecue area kitchen pavilion, yoga and retreat spaces, as well as a community vegetable garden.
Apartments on level one will also have access to private landscaped gardens with retreat seating, covered breakout spaces and a kid’s play soft turf area.
The retail spaces across the ground floor are expected to attract a mix of alfresco dining options, which will seamlessly link to an activated public open space and tree-lined boulevards connected to the wider Gladstone Village.
On completion the 2.5-hectare masterplanned precinct will provide 1100 residential apartments across multiple buildings, as well as a curated selection of amenities in each, located around a central park and green spaces.
The new site also packs a punch with its convenient location, on the corner of Neil Street and the future McLeod Road, just 150-metres from Merrylands train station and opposite the Stockland Merrylands Shopping Centre.
Quartz, the first stage of The Gladstone Village located at 224-240 Pitt Street is currently under construction and has just over 100 apartments available remaining.
