Concord Central is a collaborative urban masterplan led by Billbergia Group, including Carter Williamson, Group GSA, McGregor Coxall, fitzpatrick+partners and Lachlan Seegers, situated 16km from the CBD in Concord West.
Spanning a 3.136 hectare site, the transit oriented $2.2 billion masterplan will provide 1336 new homes located within walking distance to future metro lines, existing bus stops and adjacent to the Concord West railway station.
With the State Significant Development Application submitted, the site balances towers from 6 to 37 stories, prioritising communal green space and mixed-use social spaces.
Onsite water capturing and filtration processes support a palette of native plants and trees, providing shady, sustainable spaces for people to connect.
An important urban planning strategy initiated by Carter Williamson was the reconfiguration of the masterplan layout to ensure the site's mature fig trees are preserved.
Carter Williamson's inclusion The Urban Edge navigates a challenging sloping site that traverses both east to west and south to north with L-shaped dual buildings.
The towers will provide 227 new homes to the area, with Building D dedicated entirely to Infill Affordable Housing.
The Urban Edge is unique site within the precinct, flanking the western edge with leafy trees that branch Concord Central to the greater suburban area.
Base level terrace houses skirt the buildings, providing passive surveillance and increasing security to the area.
Travelling upwards, the towers consist of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments, designed to the expected housing needs and demands of the area.
