Spring fly over: Macquarie Park progress update
This spring Connect Macquarie Park Innovation District’s drones have been flying all over our busy precinct, recording how Macquarie Park is changing as it grows. From A-grade offices to a state-of-the-art Law School, join us for a progress update from the skies!
M_Park (Talavera Road)
Construction is well underway on stage one of this leading Stockland project, with new buildings rising out of foundations to create space for 3,600 new jobs. More info.
Sydney Metro (Herring Road, Waterloo Road, Delhi Road)
Track laying is complete in new tunnels connecting our district’s 3 stations at Macquarie University, Macquarie Park and North Ryde via Chatswood beneath Sydney Harbour to the city. The first direct Metro trains are due to role in early 2024. All aboard!
Macquarie Exchange (Waterloo Road)
Soaring above Macquarie Park Metro station, the first stage of Macquarie Exchange has “topped out”. The first of four state-of-the-art buildings, Macquarie Exchange will include an activated ground plane with several thousand square metres of retail space. More info.
Macquarie Square and Catherine Hamlin Park (Waterloo Road)
Also on Waterloo Road, new Connect MPID member John Holland have announced plans for Stage 2 of Macquarie Square - two buildings called The Stockmarket and Central House, injecting an additional 50,000sqm of A-grade net lettable area into our district. More info.
The new employment centres will surround the sweeping 7,000sqm Catherine Hamlin Park - the largest new green space to be built in Macquarie Park - to be delivered by the City of Ryde Council.
Midtown Mac Park (Herring Road)
In the north of the district, construction continues apace on Midtown Mac Park - the redevelopment of the old Ivanhoe Estate. With new homes, childcare and green space included in stage one, the residential site will eventually include up to 389 social and affordable homes. More info.
Herring Road upgrades
Transport for NSW have almost finished their works to upgrade Herring Road, connecting Epping Road and Waterloo Road with future capacity. The two-year project is almost complete, and has created new bus lanes and signal controlled intersections. Project update.
Macquarie University new Law School
Macquarie University is building a bespoke Law School on campus, with cutting edge construction techniques retaining and recycling significant elements of the old faculty facility.
Named after former Macquarie Chancellor, The Hon Michael Kirby, the new Law School will include unique commercial space where industry partners can work alongside staff and the legal practitioners of the future. Look out for the red cranes looming over Wally’s Walk in the coming months as construction accelerates! Discover more.
