SYDNEY-based property developer, Fyve is preparing to launch Liverpool tallest DA-approved development, which will rise 34 storeys above south western Sydney.
Named The Liverpool, the project at 26 Elizabeth Street will feature 193 apartments, a 93-room hotel, 6,500 sqm of commercial space, and a range of ground-floor retail tenancies, establishing a new benchmark for mixed-use residential projects in the region.
Plans for the 1.2-hectare site have been tweaked over the past two years, to include more apartments, less hotels and slightly more commercial space.
The project was one of multiple major projects put in train after 25 hectares of land in the Liverpool CBD was rezoned for mixed-use development in 2018.
Amen Zoabi, founder and managing director of Fyve said The Liverpool’s mix of high-quality residential, boutique hotel accommodation, premium commercial and unique food and beverage-oriented retail spaces is “unheard of in this area”.
“We believe it will play an important role in reshaping how people view Liverpool as a residential, commercial and hospitality destination.”
Fyve is expecting a wide range of purchasers to be interested in The Liverpool, from first home buyers, local families and owner occupiers, to savvy investors and local healthcare and education workers.
The Liverpool sits on the intersection of a network of planned cycleways to be delivered by Liverpool City Council, both along Elizabeth Street and neighbouring streets, and the project is located within minutes of Westfield Liverpool, Liverpool Hospital, and key local education hubs including Western Sydney University, University of Wollongong’s south west Sydney campus, Liverpool TAFE, Liverpool Boys High School and Liverpool Public School.
The project also offers residents access to bus services directly on Elizabeth Street, and Liverpool railway station is within a five-minute walk.
Zoabi said the city of Liverpool is positioned at the gateway to the $5.3 billion Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, due to open to in 2026.
“We’re situated at the epicentre of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis precinct, which will become a thriving economic zone surrounding the future airport, that is set to generate tens of thousands of new jobs in the region.”
The project is designed by high-profile architects Rothelowman and will be delivered by construction company, Binah.
