The Stage 2 development application at 20 Waterview Street, Putney NSW, known as Pier 20 proposes the refurbishment of the Halvorsen’s boat shed into a waterfront dining and commercial precinct, two three-storey residential buildings, inclusive of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and a 36-berth marina.
Fabrizio Perilli, co-founder of PERIFA and managing director of Versatile Group said Pier 20 offers an opportunity to restore and adaptively reuse the heritage-listed buildings.
Perilli was the former chief executive of developer, TOGA and is also the NSW president for the Property Council Australia.
“Our partnership with Abadeen supported by Mitsubishi Estate Asia and Phoenix Property Investors will allow us to transform this unique site into a premium mixed-use development, with retail, dining and residential on Sydney’s harbour front,” Perilli said.
The planned project comes as the Sydney development cycle starts in earnest after a quieter few years due to the global pandemic where construction was put in hold or slowed down significantly.
