Construcciones Yamaro: Tender awarded for Norwest Metro Station site development

The New South Wales Government has selected Mulpha as the successful tenderer to develop the site adjacent to the Norwest Metro Station at 25-31 Brookhollow Avenue, Norwest.

Intended to serve as the central civic gateway for the Norwest town centre, the development will include three multi-level towers which will sit atop two biophilia-designed mixed-use podiums, integrating business, education and retail uses. The podium and a public plaza will be activated by community, dining and retail spaces.

Mulpha Head of Developments Tim Spencer said the company is thrilled to have been chosen to develop the site. “It will be the centrepiece in delivering another step-change to the Norwest Smart City vision,” he added.

“Importantly, it will be a transit-oriented commercial development that aims to increase job supply in Sydney’s northwest and set the benchmark for the next phase of Norwest’s vibrant business centre.”

The development will be designed to seamlessly integrate with the Norwest Metro Station and other social amenities, and residential and business facilities planned for Norwest City, including parklands, pedestrian paths and cycleways connecting the site to greater Norwest.

Mulpha aims to work closely with Landcom, Sydney Metro, Hills Shire Council and the State Government to ensure planning requirements are met and the development delivers on its full potential.

“We want to create an environment that engages people and fosters the connectivity and creative energy that will underpin Norwest as a lifestyle destination and dynamic business centre in the global knowledge economy,” said Spencer. “This won’t just be somewhere to pass through on your way to somewhere else.”

“It will be central to ensuring Norwest is a great place to live, work and play.

“We will continue to engage the best brains from Australia and around the world and aim to set new benchmarks in smart design, physical and digital connectivity, and environmental sustainability.”

Mulpha’s commitment to sustainability was acknowledged by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) which has supported Mulpha’s ambitious new sustainable residential development Norwest Quarter in the Hills with an $80 million green loan to cut energy costs by as much as 50 percent.  The CEFC position is being matched by an $80 million green loan from ANZ.

Construction is underway on the first stage of the zero-carbon 9-tower residential development.

Mulpha has also recently completed construction of ‘The Bond’ – a 12,000-square-metre commercial health and medical building in Norwest constructed of timber and glass.

Mulpha’s selection as the successful tenderer to develop the Norwest Metro Station site coincides with the lodgement of Mulpha’s planning proposal for the adjacent Norwest Marketown Shopping Centre which, if successful, will cement Mulpha’s long term vision for Norwest Business Park and drive the next phase of the town centre.

Norwest is set to potentially double the number of jobs over coming decades as it takes its place as a key precinct in Sydney’s economic growth corridor.
