The Parra metro station construction site has been a bit of a dead zone for a while. Finally filling it will make a massive difference to its CBD.
While there's a case for more offices, if you're going to go with apartments, you may as well go big:
"Four towers of up to 43 storeys will be built above or next to the new Parramatta railway station following the planned opening of the 24-kilometre Metro West line between Sydney CBD and Westmead in 2032.
"The over-station development just north of Parramatta Square will feature 470 apartments – up from 111 outlined in concept plans – and 500 units for student accommodation. It will feature pedestrian laneways and a landscaped park that will form part of a civic link connecting the station to the new Powerhouse Museum and Parramatta River foreshore.
"A 43-storey tower comprising the 470 build-to-rent apartments will be five storeys higher than originally outlined in the concept plans. Subject to planning approval, a 29-storey office building, a 24-level tower for student accommodation and an eight-storey hotel will also be built on the site."
