The architectural vision for 60 Wakefield Street in Adelaide focuses on integrating gardens in the sky through irregular, cantilevered slabs, enhancing the city's skyline with green spaces and promoting ecological sustainability.
This multi-stage development project begins by retaining the existing building while introducing Build-to-Rent units and a hotel in the northeastern corner. This phase aims to establish a vibrant urban community hub. Subsequently, a residential tower will be added in the second phase, connected to the initial development to foster community interaction and provide additional commercial spaces.
Key details include a site area of 4,396m2 with a total gross floor area of 61,904m2 and a floor space ratio of 14.1:1. Stage 1 covers 2,575m2 and features a built-to-rent and hotel tower rising to 150m over 46 levels.
Stage 2 spans 1,821m2 with an apartment tower reaching 135m across 41 levels. The development will accommodate 284 built-to-rent apartments, 267 residential apartments, and a hotel with 390 keys.
This development plan aims to redefine urban living in Adelaide, combining modern architecture with sustainable landscaping to create a dynamic and environmentally conscious cityscape.
