LEND Lease has celebrated the completion of the 16-year long $1 billion Jacksons Landing project, one of Sydney’s first residential foreshore regeneration projects.
New South Wales’ deputy premier Andrew Stoner MP, representatives of the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, Lend Lease and residents of Pyrmont were present yesterday at the completion of the final residential building, Silk.
Originally owned by the Colonial Sugar Refining Co (CSR), the site was purchased in 1996 by a joint venture consortium which included Lend Lease, Kerry Properties and Rico Star, a subsidiary of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation.
The Jacksons Landing community is home to approximately 3,000 residents and workplace to 1,000 employees. The project, built along 700m of harbour foreshore, comprises over 1,350 dwellings, 35,000 sqm of commercial space, 1,000 sqm of retail space and 3.2 ha of open space.
Lend Lease’s development managing director Denis Hickey said the project illustrates the company’s capabilities to deliver large scale urban regeneration projects that reactivate underutilised sites into vibrant communities.
A significant accomplishment for the development was the Antias residential building – the first project in NSW to receive a 4 Star Green Star multi unit residential design v1 certified rating.
