Innovative Student Living Sets Stage in Macquarie Park
We’re excited to announce our latest project at one of Sydney’s most dynamic suburbs, Macquarie Park. Known for its thriving business hub and retail centre, with a lively community, Macquarie Park is set to experience a transformation. Freecity recently secured this prime development site on Herring Road and will deliver 500+ modern PBSA units designed for modern and flexible student living.
Located just 100 metres from the Macquarie University metro station and 200 metres from Macquarie Shopping Centre, the Herring Road site is perfectly positioned in the heart of Macquarie Park. Our plans have capitalised on the flexibility proposed by the NSW government’s transport-oriented development (TOD) program. The development, designed by Cox Architecture features a 19-storey tower with parking for cars, motorcycles and bikes, designed to support a modern, urban lifestyle.
As Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) continues to emerge as a significant trend, the Macquarie Park development site offers the ideal canvas for contemporary living. By blending private living spaces with shared amenities, the spaces encourage interaction and community engagement.
Our vision is to create a modern lifestyle within a vibrant community, where diverse cultures come together. With the help of talented architects and design professionals at Cox Architecture, we are shaping this development into a masterpiece that harmonises contemporary accommodation with green spaces, creating a truly urban living experience.
This living experience will feature a wide array of thoughtfully designed private and shared spaces where students will have access to flexible workspaces, wellness facilities, communal kitchens and social spaces aimed at fostering a sense of community that encourages collaboration.
At the core of our project is a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
The development will incorporate energy-efficient technologies, eco-friendly materials, and environmentally conscious practices. By prioritising sustainable design principles, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint and set a new standard for future developments, aligning with the global shift towards responsible and eco-friendly living.
With flexible accommodation options and lease terms, residents can choose the living arrangements best suited to their lifestyles and needs. This adaptability ensures that the development remains vibrant and responsive to the evolving demands of its community.
The acquisition of the key Macquarie Park site for our Purpose Built Student Accommodation project represents a significant milestone in the evolution of urban living. Embracing a progressive approach to community, sustainability, and design, we believe Macquarie Park is poised to become a leading example of modern, connected, and inclusive living.
