BUYERS and investors have one final chance to buy their own slice of real-estate history, with the final 135 apartments hitting the market at Summer Hill’s residential and retail hub The Flour Mill, , serviced by light rail.
Scheduled for completion in 2018, construction of The Flour Mill is well underway; and developers say that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy into the aptly named The Durum Silos, The Wheatstore or The Granary.
Since launching in 2014, the development has proven popular with buyers, with Stage 1 and Stage 2 already completely sold.
This release is the last opportunity for purchasers to buy into the development, which is designed by award-winning architects, Hassell, and developed by EG and Daiwa House.
EG’s Development Manager Raja Jamal says a key focus of this unique development is community and connectivity.
“Summer Hill hosts a strong, connected community and we are excited to bring together the new and the old residents,” Mr Jamal said.
“The new retail precinct and integrated communal public park will complement the vibrant high street and existing village atmosphere.”
All of the redeveloped buildings have unique traits, and developers say there will be something to suit everyone.
As well as a modern living space, the development also savours more than a nod to the site’s important role in Sydney’s history.
The Mungo Scott Flour Mills, were built circa 1922, with the iconic silos added in the 1950s.
And, in developing the site into one of most-sought after residential locations, the development will breath new life into the iconic buildings, with 360 contemporary apartments and terraces surrounded by landscaped communal gardens, retail/commercial spaces and easy access to the new fast light rail and two train stations.
The four circular towers of the original wheat silos, dubbed the Durum Silos now form 56 contemporary apartments across 14 storeys, at the peak of which sit two penthouse apartments with roof terraces enjoying spectacular 360 degree views.
The Granary incorporates one and two bedroom apartments that mimic the scale of the original buildings on this site.
An open glass facade on the northern side makes an interesting contrast with the heritage appeal of the nearby Mungo Scott building, while the continuous textured facade slowly reveals the interior through layers of perforated mesh.
Finally, housing 27 two and three bedroom apartments, The Wheatstore’s triangular structure stands out, with the deliberately random placement of floor to ceiling windows creates novelty within the charcoal concrete facade.
The Flour Mill is just moments to Summer Hill Village and will have its own light rail station for easy access to the Leichhardt, Glebe, Pyrmont, the CBD and beyond.
Summer Hill and Lewisham train stations are both just 5-minute walks from the new development.
