Two Eleven Sydney Road combines the character of old Brunswick, including a retained low-rise heritage facade to Sydney Road, with 21 new, generously sized apartments with great amenity, natural light and ventilation.

The efficient and environmentally sustainable development, incorporates open-air lanes, walkways and a rooftop terrace, all carefully designed to bring residents together, creating social connections that will, over time, foster a genuine sense of community throughout the building. From the selection of materials and the design and orientation of interior spaces to the inclusion of solar energy generation, water harvesting and storage, the building is engineered to achieve 7.5-star NatHERS rating.

Natural light, high-performing timber windows, and dual aspect for cross-flow ventilation.
