A beloved pub is earmarked to be demolished for a multimillion-dollar residential and retail hub including a hotel and three apartment towers.
Iris Capital has lodged plans with Canterbury-Bankstown Council for an $77m mixed-use development to be built across three stages at 167 to 183 Hume Highway, Greenacre.
The Palms Pub, a two-storey hotel with a gaming lounge, sports bar and function room, has operated in Chullora for more than 15 years and will be relocated on the 11,744sq m site.
The proposed plans include a three-storey building dedicated to a 56-room hotel, the transformed pub and a new slip lane on the Hume Hwy.
A five-storey mixed-use building will include 37 residential apartments and 1459sq m of commercial floor space on the ground floor level.
Planners for the development said the commercial businesses will “front Hume Highway to
enhance activation of the ground plane and pedestrian traffic”.
An additional three-storey residential flat buildings will include 55 one- and two-bedroom apartments, and basement carparking for 323 cars.
The NSW Planning Department gazetted the planning proposal for the site and amended the Canterbury-Bankstown Local Environment Plan to increase the maximum height of the buildings and floor space ratios.
Iris Capital bought the site from the Coles Group for $22.5m in 2014. The site was previously owned by private individuals until 1986 when various companies, including Theo’s Liquor owned the site.
The developers have their sights set on Western Sydney after previously lodging $70m plans to demolish the Kingswood Hotel in Penrith for apartments.
