Concept Plan
Social Housing
Following completion of the master plan, DEM was commissioned to prepare the design and documentation for 159 one and two bedroom apartments. The design approach for the development was to respond to the historical character of Ultimo and Glebe and contribute to the desired future character of the area as a high density urban neighbourhood.
The recently completed development provides social housing for seniors and people with disabilities and was designed to achieve a rating of gold or silver in accordance with the LHA Liveable Housing Design Guidelines.
