Built beside the Arlington light rail line, on land crossed by major sewer and stormwater lines, Arlington Grove delivered 246 apartments on a former industrial site in Sydney's inner west.
Arlington Grove, Dulwich Hill
Regenerating an inner-west industrial site.
Arlington Grove transformed a former industrial site in Sydney’s inner west into a medium-density residential community, following the extension of light rail to Dulwich Hill and rezoning of the land for housing.
Designed by Smart Design Studio, the development comprises four brick buildings with 246 apartments and retail space, arranged around landscaped laneways and a central courtyard garden. A new green corridor alongside the light rail provides native landscaping and a cycle connection towards the CBD.
Managing complex site constraints.
Located directly beside the Arlington light rail station, the site was also crossed by major sewer and stormwater infrastructure that needed to be diverted before construction could proceed.
Galileo Group engaged RCP to provide project management and Superintendent services. RCP worked with the engineering team to establish the construction methodology for the service diversions and buildings, coordinate authority approvals and manage project documentation and responsibilities across the wider team.
During construction, RCP’s programming and contract administration services helped manage contractor issues, maintain progress and identify opportunities to improve sequencing and reduce cost.
