Developer Allen Linz’s Rebel Property Group and Braxton Capital have filed plans with Sydney’s Inner West Council for a six-storey residential project.
The development on the 2475sq m site at 37-47 Farr Street in Marrickville has an estimated construction cost of $30.66 million, according to council records and BCI data.
The plans by PBD Architects and Arcadia Landscape Architecture show 51 apartments with three three-bedroom, two two-bedroom and two one-bedroom apartments on the ground floor.
The first floor would have four three-bedroom, three two-bedroom and two one-bedroom apartments. Each of the second, third and fourth floors would have five three-bedroom, three two-bedroom, and one one-bedroom apartment.
Five two-bedroom and three three-bedroom apartments will be on the fifth floor.
The plans also propose 74 car parking spaces, 32 bicycle spaces and three motorcycle parking spaces across two basement levels.
There would also be a playground and communal open spaces on the ground floor.
Four brick warehouses now on the site along with a concreted area and temporary shed would be demolished.
The area was a key part of Sydney’s brickmaking industry in the 1800s.
Rebel Property and Braxton Capital have previously collaborated on other projects in Marrickville, most notably with TOGA on a high-tech mixed-use industrial and retail building.
Marrickville’s population is growing, spurring investment in all sectors in order to better serve increasing demand in the area.
Its population of 26,000 is forecast to increase and it was named the “second coolest suburb” in the country by Time Out magazine.
Most of its high-density housing is along the trainline and key roads including Parramatta and Victoria road but there is room for more residential projects.
In 2024, new metro rail stations will also open at Sydenham, Marrickville, and Dulwich Hill with a new one planned for Ashfield.
