Overview

This unique development opportunity consists of a substantial 5,199 sqm parcel of land located within Frenchs Forest, New South Wales. Situated in the desirable Northern Beaches Council local government area, this site is zoned R3 Frenchs Forest Neighbourhood Centre, allowing for exciting residential development potential.

Strategically positioned approximately 200 metres walking distance from the Northern Beaches Hospital and within 400 metres of the E1 zoned Frenchs Forest Town Centre, the site offers excellent accessibility and connectivity. The property enjoys the benefit of two street frontages, providing easy entry from the quiet Gladys Avenue and convenient egress onto Frenchs Forest Road West via a large shared driveway, enhancing the site's functionality and traffic flow.

The zoning supports low and mid-rise housing developments with a potential floor space ratio (FSR) uplift to 2.86:1 and a maximum building height of 28.6 metres, particularly with a 15% affordable housing component. Without the affordable housing component, the FSR is 2.2:1 and a height limit of 22 metres, corresponding to a gross floor area (GFA) potential of 11,438 sqm.

Incorporating affordable housing provisions further increases the development capacity by 30%, resulting in an impressive potential GFA of 14,869 sqm. This scale can accommodate up to 130 residential apartments with an average internal living space of 82 sqm each. Additionally, up to 30 affordable apartments around 65 sqm in size can be rented out and sold after a 15-year period, providing further flexibility and value for developers focused on sustainable and inclusive community living.

This site represents the last large aggregated parcel available in the Frenchs Forest Town Centre release and adjoins two other sites of similar land area. These neighboring parcels have been accepted as State Significant Development sites, with FSRs up to 4:1, highlighting the premium nature and future growth prospects of the location.

Those looking to capitalize on a significant development landholding with strong zoning, proximity to major infrastructure like the hospital, and positioning within a growing commercial and residential hub will find this offering highly appealing. The potential for substantial gross floor area, combined with the accessibility and amenity advantages, make this site suited to experienced developers targeting strategic urban growth nodes and affordable housing initiatives within Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
