Mirvac selected for Claremont on the Park

National development group Mirvac has been appointed to build the latest apartment projects at LandCorp’s Claremont on the Park.

Mirvac Group will build at least 178 apartments at the site, which is located at Claremont Oval.

Lands Minister Terry Redman said Mirvac beat out a number of high-quality submissions from local and interstate developers through a lengthy assessment process.

“Mirvac’s proposal delivered on the objectives for achieving a high quality architectural design and sustainable living which contribute to the oval and streetscape activation,” Mr Redman said in a statement.

The announcement follows Georgiou Capital’s appointment in mid-2013 to develop the first apartment complex at Claremont on the Park.

The Georgiou project will comprise more than 70 apartments at the northern end of the development site.

Mr Redman said Claremont on the Park would help address the state’s growing demand for more diverse housing options, and was in line with the state government’s urban planning policy of increasing housing density around transport links.

The entire redevelopment project will provide more than 700 new homes at the 9.4-hectare site.

“We need to provide this housing where infrastructure currently exists,” Mr Redman said.
