Set to become the tallest tower in Liverpool, Sydney’s third CBD, the 36-level mixed-use tower will house a 113-room hotel, 179 residential apartments, 5,500sqm of A-grade office space and a rooftop restaurant. Working closely with the architect at DA stage, XK developed a solution to optimise the structural system without compromising the architectural intent. The elimination of all transfer structures resulted in establishing a saving of $1 million in the construction cost of the structure.

Construction of the $180 million development is expected to start in 2022.

Our Structural and Civil team is working together with project partners to bring life, community and culture to an abandoned historical site.

Rozelle Village is a $135million mixed-use development bringing state-of-the-art hospitality, retail and commercial spaces, 149 high-quality apartments, a central plaza and community spaces to the former Balmain Leagues Club.

Working alongside Heworth Holdings Group, Touchstone Partners and Scott Carver, the project is being designed using the latest technologies and materials, while honouring the streetscape’s impressive heritage significance.

Showcasing a perfect blend of engineering innovation and community-oriented design, our experienced Structural team are developing solutions to accommodate the site and future planning for the community. With a planned road and train tunnel passing next to the site and the neighbouring heritage buildings, our team is conducting critical assessments of the retention system design to ensure future project feasibility and constructability.

With the site on one of Sydney’s main traffic routes to the CBD, our Civil engineering team developed complex road and public domain infrastructure designs while ensuring efficient traffic flow around the site during construction to minimise the impact on the community. Our experience with the Local and State Governments’ approval process allowed us to satisfy TfNSW and Inner West Council’s strict requirements while meeting the project’s unique needs.

The Rozelle Village and Tigers Leagues Club project is a testament to the importance of community and history in mixed-use developments. The project team is working in close collaboration to create a space that is not only visually appealing but also exceeds the needs and expectations of the local community.

Developed by Altis Property Partners, the proposed mixed-used development project consists of a 34-storey tower comprising 312 build-to-rent (BTR) residential units with a focus on essential worker occupants.

Ground floor retail tenancies with residential and commercial lobby entrances, 8,000sqm of A-grade commercial spaces over 4 levels, including private outdoor terrace for commercial tenants and above a 29-storey residential tower.

History shapes our communities. While we build and progress with new developments, revitalising our heritage precincts allows us to preserve and feed the culture that history has brought us.

Working alongside Iris Capital, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects, and Panov-Scott, our team has been providing structural, façade retention, civil and construction engineering services for the socially and historically significant redevelopment of Queensgate in Potts Point.

The development involves the revitalisation of five iconic heritage buildings, bringing new life into Sydney’s architectural heritage and preserving its rich cultural legacy.

The existing Radnor and Empire buildings are being replaced, and the Lowestoft, Bourbon, and Commodore buildings are undergoing heritage façade retention and building construction. The transformed block will feature two pubs, a hotel, a medical centre, retail tenancies, and 48 apartments, all seamlessly integrated. A new four-level basement will be constructed for services, storage, parking, and a commercial tenancy.

One of the main challenges of the development lies in the preservation of the heritage façades of Lowestoft, Bourbon, and Commodore, which will play an important role in maintaining the historic fabric of the surrounding 19th and 20th century architecture. Our construction engineering experts developed innovative designs that allow the erection of temporary steel frames to support the existing façades with minimal impact to its aesthetics. These steel frames are strategically positioned to align with the future construction of the buildings and will be removed once the façades are tied in permanently to the built form.
