Mirvac Retail has been recognised for its conservation and urban renewal development of Sydney’s oldest new food destination, Tramsheds Harold Park, by the Australian National Trust.
Tramsheds is Mirvac Retail’s largest conserved built heritage endeavour, restoring and reinterpreting the once derelict Tramway Depot into a community hub, complementing and utilising existing heritage fabrics to create a unique dining destination in Sydney’s Inner West.
The award comes after two years of construction and redevelopment of the site, seeing Mirvac work closely with heritage associations and construction specialists to ensure each element of the build was retained, repaired or restored.
Successful historic conservation has seen Tramsheds take on a new lease of life whilst ensuring bespoke features, such as the original saw-tooth roof, graffiti, old staircases and an original Tram R1 1995, be maintained for future generations.
Tramsheds is now an unprecedented food destination for locals and visitors who can experience history re-imagined. The precinct houses a collective of the country’s most innovative food providores along with a range of everyday amenities including a large supermarket, hairdressers, gym and medical centre.
Susan MacDonald, Head of Retail at Mirvac commented, “This is an incredible win for our newest precinct. Mirvac Retail has been looking at enhancing our urban impact, further creating value for our communities and providing relevant experiences that can be enjoyed by all.”
