Sydney`s Pyrmont will one day be able to reach the same height and density as adjacent high-rise buildings, and the current Sydney CBD will extend to the Pyrmont Peninsula in 2040, according to the new development vision.
Urban Taskforce, a developer lobby group, supported the development of the Pyrmont Peninsula as Sydney`s next high-rise building centre, supporting increased development density in the area as a support for Sydney`s CBD.
LAVA, a Sydney-based architecture firm, released images based on that vision, showing a new look at Pyrmont as Sydney`s 8 million people reach 8 million in the next 40 years.
`We need a long-term plan to continue Sydney`s position as the world`s leading city, `said Urban Taskforce CEO Chris Johnson.
"We think the Pyrmont Peninsula next to Sydney`s CBD is a real mixed-use area with entertainment facilities and hotels, but also the focus of IT and creative industries," Johnson said.
"what we need now is a new vision of the Pyrmont Peninsula, upgrading it to a prosperous mixed-use area parallel to Sydney`s CBD Peninsula."
Johnson says the latest developments in the region are a step in the right direction. "the proposed 61-storey Star casino tower, and the Harbourside tower, began to redefine the height of the Pyrmont peninsula." Blackwattle
