Green Square - Town Centre Sydney

Urban Structure

The planned urban structure of Green Square Town Centre is a key defining characteristic of the project. This distinguishes it from many other urban centres of Sydney, which have evolved in an ad-hoc manner.

Central to the design of Green Square Town Centre is an east-west spine, incorporating a landscape boulevard and major public plazas within this hub of commercial and retail activity. This spine links closely with Green Square Railway Station and supports the surrounding development.

The most intense development and activity will occur within the ‘Town Core’, built around the new public plazas and creating the commercial focus for the Town Centre.

Commercial

Green Square Town Centre will be built according to a modern, cutting edge design. Combined with its important strategic location at the heart of the booming CBD to Airport corridor, this will attract a high calibre of commercial tenants.

The Town Centre will provide new, state of the art buildings with all the supporting infrastructure required by a diverse array of businesses. Its thriving urban environment will also engage customers and keep employees happy.

Retail

The reinvigorated, modern environment and diverse transport options of Green Square Town Centre will attract a sophisticated, cosmopolitan customer base. This will create a thriving space for a broad range of retail tenants.

Street design, parking and signage will be designed to maximise this strong retail potential. It is expected that the retail mix within the Town Centre will support the vision for a vibrant and active Town Centre, both day and night.

Residential

Green Square Town Centre’s design elements and convenient location will combine to make it a highly liveable and desirable environment within the Inner South. It is expected to provide  approximately 2,500 homes when it is completed, with residents drawn by its unique lifestyle offerings.

A commitment to building a contemporary ‘urban village’ community underpins the design of Green Square Town Centre. It will provide varied types of outdoor spaces to encourage interaction amongst residents and visitors alike.

These areas include European-style piazzas, parks and entertainment facilities for al fresco dining, markets and street festivals. Green Square Town Centre’s larger Civic Plaza and more intimate Neighbourhood Plaza will form a strong focus for many of these cultural, entertainment and retail aspects.

New parkland adjacent to the plazas will provide areas for outdoor enjoyment. Further ambience will be created by an urban stream that will flow through these parks – inspired by Shea’s Creek that once ran through the area.

Landscaped streets with modern signage will encourage more foot and cycle traffic through these areas and reduce the reliance on motor vehicles within the Town Centre.

Heritage

Despite the significant physical changes Green Square Town Centre will bring to the area, care is being taken to preserve Green Square’s heritage. Community consultation and involvement has been sought throughout the process to ensure the end result respects and represents Green Square’s historical and cultural significance.

One such historically significant site that will be carefully readapted and retained where possible is the former Royal South Sydney Hospital.
