The transformation of Marrickville’s Victoria Road precinct is one step closer after TOGA’s new Wicks Place project with 272 apartments gains approval.
Developers TOGA and family-run Danias Group promise a vibrant new precinct that celebrates the creativity and character of Marrickville, while helping to shape its next chapter.
As the first project for the new precinct, Wicks Place will deliver 272 apartments across five buildings with boutique retail, commercial spaces, and direct access to the adjacent Wicks Park.
The development will feature a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments with extra-large terraces, green spaces and a private communal outdoor area.
Fabrizio Perilli, TOGA’s CEO, says his company’s vision is to “create a thriving urban community that embraces the unique culture of Marrickville”.
Wicks Place is anchored by a 2,500 sqm public precinct on the ground floor which will include a diverse mix of retail and commercial spaces, opening up the laneway integration with Wicks Park.
The site sits within the wider Victoria Road Precinct, which will incorporate flexible and innovative spaces for a variety of creative industries, start-ups and the arts.
“Marrickville has become a unique and desirable destination for Sydney, and it will arguably become Sydney’s coolest metro suburb,” Perilli adds.
At the Victoria Road precinct, Danias will deliver a diverse range of new housing, increased employment, new creative industry hubs, new parklands and community spaces.
The site provides seamless connectivity with a variety of transport options, including proximity to the new metropolitan train line, Sydenham Station and the Victoria Road bus corridor.
CEO of Danias Holdings, Angelo Angelopoulos, says his company is “extremely passionate about the suburb’s future and fostering its creative industries”.
“We’ve been working for many years to carefully plan and deliver a vibrant, mixed-use community – a place where you can live, work, and play.
“Elements such as the recently-launched Timberyards project will ensure that there are accessible and affordable spaces for artists and entrepreneurs, all fostering the future success of the area.”
Wicks Place is set for completion by late 2022.
