Nine by Mirvac

Mirvac / Willoughby, NSW

NINE by Mirvac is a transformative residential project that redefines sustainable living on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. The design, crafted by McGregor Coxall in collaboration with Mirvac Design and CHROFI, is deeply rooted in the site’s unique history, ecology, and geology. This project seamlessly integrates the built environment with the natural landscape, fostering a sense of community and belonging while honoring the legacy of the former Channel 9 site.

Located approximately six kilometers north of the Sydney CBD, the NINE by Mirvac development spans around 3 hectares and will features over 420 luxury residential apartments across ten boutique buildings. This site, once gated for over 60 years, is being revitalized to reconnect with the urban fabric of Willoughby, creating a vibrant community hub.

The landscape design emphasizes open spaces that are crucial for enhancing livability. With nearly 6,500 square meters of shared open space, the project includes parks, gardens, a playground, and areas for community gatherings, all designed to cater to diverse recreational needs. This approach not only promotes biodiversity and urban heat mitigation but also provides safe, inviting environments for families and individuals alike.

In homage to the local landscape, the design incorporates 70% locally endemic plant species, reflecting the natural beauty of the Sydney sandstone gorges. The use of robust, low-maintenance materials and re-purposed elements from the site further enhances the authenticity of the environment. The landscape strategy also includes innovative water management techniques, utilising rainfall runoff to sustain the greenery, creating cool microclimates.

The removal of the former 233-meter high transmission tower has significantly improved the local skyline, allowing the project to sit harmoniously with its surroundings. By prioritising community engagement and environmental stewardship, NINE by Mirvac sets a new benchmark for residential developments, fostering a sense of identity and pride among residents and the broader community.
