The Mark, Residential building in Sydney, Australia.
The Mark is a residential apartment complex in the Central Park development on Broadway, Chippendale, Sydney. It comprises two building groups: Mark One (levels 1–19, mainly one- and two-bedroom apartments) and Mark Two (levels 20–27, two- and three-bedroom units). The building was designed by Johnson Pilton Walker and constructed by Watpac, completed in August 2014.
The Mark occupies part of the former Carlton & United Breweries site in Chippendale, bought by Frasers Property from Foster's Group on 29 June 2007. Built by Watpac as stage two of Central Park, work began in September 2011 and finished in August 2014. The wider scheme, designed by Johnson Pilton Walker, retained 33 heritage items, including the Kent Road tiled arch and Kensington Street warehouses.
The Mark occupies part of the former Carlton & United Breweries site in Chippendale. Its name echoes the Central Park precinct, where 33 heritage items were kept, including the Kent Road tiled arch, Kensington Street terraces and warehouses, three hotels, brewery yard buildings, a brick stack and the administration building, all adaptively reused by Tzannes architects.
The Mark stands within the Central Park precinct on Broadway in Chippendale, south of the Sydney central business district, bounded by O'Connor Street, Carlton Street, Broadway and Chippendale Way. The complex is private housing, so the apartments and rooftop spa, lawn and terraces are not open to visitors. The public parkland, Chippendale Green, opened on 17 December 2012, and Balfour Street Park, opened in April 2010, are the shared outdoor spaces to use.
The Mark's sustainability features include an on-site trigeneration plant and a recycled water system that collects rainwater, stormwater, groundwater and sewage, then reuses it for toilet flushing, irrigation and washing machines. Each apartment has sub-meters and smart meter panels, and the building won the High-Density Development category at the UDIA NSW 2015 Awards.
