Time & Place’s Manly Shoptop Wins Approval

High-profile developer Time & Place has been greenlit for its debut project on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

The shoptop project slated for a site in Manly comprises 21 luxury two and three-bedroom apartments and three penthouses.

The five-storey, $100-million development is planned for a site at 35-43 Belgrave Street, ​​opposite Manly Oval, and has been designed by SJB.

The project, approved by the Northern Beaches Council,  includes a central communal garden and ground-floor retail as well as two levels of basement car parking.

The Manly project will replace ageing buildings at the corner of Belgrave and Raglan streets currently tenanted by an opportunity shop, dry cleaners and medical centre.

Other projects for the developer, which is based in Sydney and Melbourne, include Melbourne’s Hotel Lindrum, and an eight-storey block in Sydney’s Potts Point.

In March, Time & Place renotified amended plans for the latter with the City of Sydney Council as part of the Statement of Facts and Contentions (SoFC) process, prior to its case being heard at the Land and Environment Court (LEC). 

The original plans proposed a shoptop residential development of 28 apartments at 45-53 Macleay Street over nine storeys, and were lodged in October, 2022.

In July Time & Place announced the Kapitol Group has been chosen as the builder for the redevelopment of the landmark former Hotel Lindrum in Melbourne.

Meanwhile, also in Manly, plans to transform the century-old disused Manly Hospital into a $150-million health and well-being precinct moved ahead in May when the NSW government issued gateway approval.

The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure has given the go head for amendments to Manly’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP), paving the way for the redevelopment at 150 Darley Road in the northern Sydney beachside suburb.

In April, the new owner took possession of Sydney’s landmark Manly Wharf.

Artemus Group, also the owner of Brisbane’s Howard Smith Wharves, bought the wharf and the Manly Wharf Hotel for $110 million last year from Robert Magid’s TMG Developments.

In July, children’s charity Royal Far West broke ground on its multiple-building, mixed-use development on the Manly beachfront.

The charity, which provides allied health services to children in remote areas, appointed Multiplex as its building partner for the project in the Sydney’s Northern Beaches suburb in February. It filed plans for the site in 2022.
