Deicorp, Hyecorp Property Group and Thirdi Group have been shortlisted by the NSW Government to develop a St Leonards site with potential for more than 400 homes.
The 3301sq m site at Herbert Street, near the Royal North Shore Hospital, was identified as surplus to requirements by an ongoing audit of government lands, and was first offered to Landcom and Homes NSW.
When those government development agencies passed on the offer, expressions of interest were sought and received from nine commercial developers.
A tower of up to 62 storeys is permitted. The site is within the Crows Nest Transport Oriented Development zone, which means a minimum 15 per cent affordable housing is mandated.
