Development giant Meriton has revealed fresh plans for its final stage of the Pagewood Green residential project in southeast Sydney – the largest project in Meriton’s history.

Harry Triguboff’s company is building a huge, high-rise development across two stages next to Westfield Eastgardens with plans for more than 4000 apartments.

The first stage is nearing completion on the southern part of the Pagewood Green site and features more than 1700 apartments in towers up to 20-storeys tall.

The second stage will be built on the northern part of the site.

Pagewood Green is being built across two stages next to Westfield Eastgardens. Stage one in blue and stage two in red.

Proposed plan for stage two of Pagewood Green.

A concept plan for stage two was lodged with Bayside Council late last year and is under assessment.

Pending approval, Meriton plans to build over 2300 more apartments during stage two in buildings up to 20-storeys tall.

Earlier this month, the developer lodged its first development application for high-rise towers on the stage two site.

“The proposal forms the first detailed application for stage two of Meriton’s Pagewood Green project which involves the comprehensive redevelopment of former industrial land,” the proposal read.

A decision on the two towers cannot be made until the stage two concept plan is approved.

The two towers are proposed to stand 20-storeys tall (68m) and will be positioned near the centre of the Pagewood Green project on a lot known as Lot B.

The two towers proposed as part of stage two of the Pagewood Green development.

If approved, the two towers will boast 421 apartments in total, 425 car parks, and a supermarket.

“Council consent is sought for two buildings that will accommodate residential apartments comprising a mix of one, two and three bed apartment types, a supermarket and specialty retail tenancies,” the proposal stated.

Separate development applications will be made in future for the remaining eight lots on the stage two site.

Meriton bought 10.5ha of the Pagewood Green site for $140 million in 2013 and a further 6ha for $90 million in 2015.

The site was formerly an industrial area used by British American Tobacco and Holden.
