LAS Group is expecting to receive permit in the coming weeks for a new residential community at 116–126 Spains Road, Salisbury Downs, adjoining Hollywood Plaza.
The proposed development comprises six buildings ranging from three to six levels, delivering 198 one, two and three-bedroom apartments within a thoughtfully landscaped setting.
Designed as a contemporary interpretation of the traditional suburban home, the architecture combines brick veneer, timber and metal cladding to create a warm and enduring material palette. Ground-floor residences are complemented by private gardens opening onto a landscaped central courtyard, while upper-level apartments feature generous balconies designed to extend living spaces outdoors.
A strong focus on landscape and amenity is central to the masterplan. Communal spaces include a dedicated play area, a community green with seating and shade, raised garden beds and extensive new tree planting, creating a connected and welcoming environment for residents.
The development has also been designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating deep-set and shaded windows, high-efficiency glazing, low-embodied-energy materials and passive heating and cooling principles. Secure bicycle parking is provided within the basement to further support more sustainable modes of transport.
Careful consideration has been given to the relationship between the new buildings and the surrounding neighbourhood. The orientation and layout have been designed to minimise overlooking and overshadowing, while landscaped spaces and new planting throughout the site will enhance urban greening and tree canopy cover.
With four to six-storey buildings addressing Hollywood Boulevard and lower-scale buildings fronting Spains Road, the proposal establishes a varied built form that responds to its surrounding context while introducing a high-quality new residential offering to Salisbury Downs.
