Central Park, Sydney, Mixed-use development in Chippendale, Sydney, Australia
Central Park is a residential and commercial development in Chippendale with two towers whose facades are covered with living plants totaling over 35,000 species from local and exotic sources. The ground level houses a shopping mall with a supermarket, cinemas, and various stores serving residents and visitors.
The site was formerly the Carlton United Brewery, which Frasers Property purchased in 2007 and later transformed into a modern residential complex. This transformation marked the area's shift from industrial production to contemporary residential architecture.
The vertical gardens on the facades show how nature integrates into modern city architecture and create a gathering space for residents. People use the green areas as places to pause and enjoy plants while surrounded by the urban environment.
The ground level offers extensive shopping and dining options, making visits convenient for tourists and residents alike. The best time to explore is in the morning or early evening when crowds are smaller.
A motorized mirror system on the roof directs sunlight to the lower gardens during the day and creates light displays at night. This technical feature shows how technology brings the green spaces to life within the urban setting.
