This project at the western end of Newcastle CBD adds 160 residential units into a precinct of the city that is undergoing transition from commercial use to a mixed residential and retail area. Spire Apartments will reinforce this transition due to its placement above the existing Marketown shopping centre, providing a great amenity for the residents with the proximity to supermarket and grocery stores, gym, restaurants and support services.
The development includes a mix of one, two and three bedroom units across three buildings which face onto a large landscaped podium. This podium provides a green and serene oasis above the bustle of the retail precinct directly below.
The facades of the three buildings are detailed and varied, with the use of a range of colours and materials, stepped plan form and recessed balconies contributing to an appropriate residential scale for the buildings.
