Project Overview

Stage 2 of Newmarket Green is now complete, marking a major milestone in the transformation of this historic Randwick site into a vibrant mixed-use community.

AT&L is proud to have contributed to this next phase, delivering integrated civil engineering design and coordination to support the continued evolution of the precinct.

Newmarket Green is a major mixed-use urban renewal project in Randwick, transforming a historic 5-hectare site into a vibrant residential and community precinct.

Delivered by Cbus Property, the development includes:

  • A new retail plaza
  • Approximately 650 apartments
  • Terrace houses and townhouses
  • A new public park
  • New and upgraded road and infrastructure networks

The site was formerly home to the Inglis Horse Stables. Several heritage-listed structures were retained, requiring careful integration into the new masterplan.
