Rouse Hill Town Centre

An innovative urban strategy and sustainable urban design optimised the public domain and brought a critical mass of residents to a fledgling retail and services centre, ensuring its survival from the outset.

A key objective of the master plan and public domain delivery was to balance the roles of meeting place, marketplace and traffic way, without compromising green space or future expansion.

Strategic location of The Rise apartments placed residents at the heart of the community centre, close to major retailers, 200 hundred speciality stores, restaurants, medical centre, a library and cinema and excellent transport links. The 104 apartments feature a variety of layouts, contemporary open plan and quality finishes.

Design was delivered by a consortium of three architectural practice – AJC in association with Rice Daubney and Group GSA. In 2010, Rouse Hill Town Centre was named one of the five winners of the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Global Awards for Excellence, along with LA LIVE (Los Angeles), Miasteczko Wilanów (Warsaw), The Southern Ridges (Singapore), and Thin Flats (Philadelphia).
