A new urban renewal project within walking distance of Redfern station will include up to 600 build-to-rent and affordable homes, a new public parkland and the adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed Clothing Store building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expressions of interest are open for industry partners to jointly develop and operate the site within the Clothing Store sub-precinct of Redfern-North Eveleigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Infrastructure, Cities and Active Transport Rob Stokes said 90 per cent of the homes would be build-to-rent or affordable housing, located within metres of the burgeoning Tech Central precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe people that make our city function shouldn\u2019t have to commute for hours to get to work, which is why we\u2019re building more key worker housing in the inner city,\u201d Mr Stokes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis Government has committed to set aside 30 per cent of all residential stock on our urban renewal precincts for affordable and diverse housing and on this project we\u2019ll deliver triple that target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis will provide much-needed secure housing for renters, with 75 per cent of the homes earmarked for build-to-rent housing and 15 per cent as affordable housing for key workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is another city-shaping precinct that will create 3,000 square metres of new, green public parkland, reimagine the heritage-listed clothing store into a space for the community, and play a critical role in bolstering Sydney\u2019s status as a 24-hour global city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transport Asset Holding Entity (TAHE) CEO Benedicte Colin said the precinct was being delivered in partnership with Transport for NSW and had been subject to community consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve worked with the community on the vision for this precinct and will continue to do so over the coming months,\u201d Ms Colin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis proposal highlights TAHE\u2019s ability to deliver innovative housing models, ideally located next to public transport, while maintaining long-term ownership for the people of NSW.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
