Jewel / Pierside

Architecture - Mixed Use - Constructed | Commissioner: PAYCE | Creator: PAYCE

Draped in its shimmering gold veil, Jewel does all these things. It captivates, it engages and like the best urban architecture, it marries a vibrant social sphere with exhilarating design. Completed in October 2017, Jewel and Pierside is a 10,420sqm north-facing waterfront property located at 1 Burroway Rd, Wentworth Point, NSW. The site is adjacent to the Sydney Olympic Park Ferry Wharf and the Sydney Olympic Parklands. The site benefits from its proximity to the 635 hectare Sydney Olympic Park Precinct. This Precinct enjoys world-class infrastructure, sporting and recreational facilities, parklands, and is in a pivotal location, being 13km from the Sydney CBD and 8km from the Parramatta CBD. The Precinct is serviced by train, bus and ferry, resulting in outstanding accessibility to the entire metropolitan area. The 9 storey mixed-use development consists of 256 Residential Apartments, 3,500sqm of ground floor retail containing a small supermarket, restaurant/café, specialty retail and a child care centre. and 414 Basement Carparks over 3 levels (310 Residential, 104 Retail/Commercial). Jewel was extremely well received, with 197 of the 249 apartments available for sale exchanged on the day of the launch and subsequently all apartments sold within weeks following the launch. Pierside has leased very well with only a very small amount of retail left to lease.

Harts Landing

Graphic Design - Illustration and Type | Commissioner: PAYCE | Creator: PAYCE

Harts Landing, the latest offering by PAYCE, is made up of 268 apartments, spanning across three nine-storey buildings in North Penrith. North Penrith was perceived as an industrial hub saturated with slow burn house offers. The initial brand and marketing campaign needed to communicate a new way of living in Penrith, and highlight the benefits and growth already in evidence in the surrounding area. Benefits included the revitalisation of the CBD, the urban lifestyle available, quality affordable housing for a growing and diversifying population and strong commuter connections. To differentiate from other campaigns, the location was embraced and reframed to demonstrate the transformation taking place and the new lifestyle on offer. Hoyne ignored previously used clichés and actively highlighted the development’s location, articulating the development’s flourishing location, rich convenience, amenity and easy access to nature. Harts Landing is a unique development with a mixture of private and affordable apartments in an integrated community. Evolve Housing is the community housing provider and landowner of Harts Landing and the whole project will consist of 268 apartments in total. The project is made up of 134 private apartments and 134 affordable apartments, under the management of Evolve Housing. Harts Landing was a huge success with all 134 private apartments selling between when the marketing commenced in July 2016, to February 2017.
