A vibrant mixed-use village in the heart of Macquarie Park, providing a publicly-accessible plaza, supporting retail and a sequence of new roads and pedestrian links for the wider community.
Phase One of the UWS Westmead Precinct, Highline provides a high-amenity residential development on the doorstep of Sydney's largest health, medical, education and transport hubs.
A multi-phase redevelopment of existing Housing New South Wales and Council lands to deliver a new park-side masterplan. Featuring private and social housing units, a network of new streets, a 'village square' and a library.
