BOVIS Lend Lease has delivered the third and final stage of Top Ryde City in north west Sydney, completing one of Australia’s largest retail developments.
Top Ryde City now boasts approximately 290 retailers across 78,215 sqm of retail space with a mix of 3,055 all weather protected above and below ground car spaces.
BLL was responsible for the project management, design and construction of the project after being awarded the $470 million contract in 2007. Developed by Defined Developments, master planning and architectural design of the new Top Ryde City was undertaken by Lend Lease design.
Stage 1 opened in November 2009 and included 120 underground retail stores whilst Stage 2 was completed in March this year and comprised the first ground level stores in the new La Strada precinct and on Devlin Street.
Top Ryde City occupies a 3.5 hectare site on the corner of Blaxland Road and Devlin Street, one of Sydney’s busiest roads.
BLL Australia CEO Tony Costantino said the new Top Ryde City represents a significant addition to the company’s extensive track record in the delivery of quality retail assets.
“The sheer scale of the new Top Ryde City is a prime example of our specialist capability in the project management, design and construction of large scale and technically complex projects. It’s a project we are extremely proud to have been involved in,” he added.
Sustainability was a key focus of the redevelopment. Approximately 93% of waste was recycled over the course of construction.
