The precinct integrates approximately build-to-rent apartments operated by Nation, with retail and dining at the ground plane. Designed for long-term renting and embedded in the daily life of a neighbourhood that has emerged over the past decade as one of Sydney's most dynamic inner-city clusters.
Less than four kilometres from the Sydney CBD, with walking access to Green Square Station and the future Waterloo Metro Station, and immediate proximity to Moore Park, Centennial Parklands and the established lifestyle villages of Surry Hills, Redfern and Alexandria.
Waterloo has transformed over the past decade. What was once a working warehouse district at the southern edge of the city is now one of Sydney's most layered inner suburbs — defined by hospitality, creative industries and the cultural energy that has flowed in from Surry Hills, Redfern and Alexandria. The corner of Danks and Young Street sits at the centre of this shift.
The precinct has been designed in collaboration by SJB, Bates Smart, Curious Practice and Chen Show Little, four Sydney studios working to a single urban vision. Massing steps down toward the surrounding street wall, ground-floor retail extends along Danks and Young, and the architectural language draws on the brick-and-warehouse character of the suburb without imitating it.
Approximately 825 build-to-rent apartments at the heart of Danks Street, Waterloo — operated under Coronation's dedicated rental platform and designed for long-term renting in one of Sydney's most connected inner suburbs. Studios through to three-bedrooms, integrated with ground-floor retail, public domain and the daily life of the precinct around them.
Lease-up begins ahead of completion in 2028. Register your interest to hear about pricing, floorplans and amenity as they're released.
The ground plane of Danks Street is being curated as a 24-hour retail and dining precinct — programmed across morning, day, evening and late-night, with a tenant mix designed to keep the public realm active across all hours of the week. Anchored by a flagship gym and wellbeing offer alongside food and beverage, wellness, services and convenience operators chosen for the rhythm they bring to the precinct.
Coronation Retail leads tenant curation and on-site management, with a focus on long-term operator partnerships, active placemaking and a tenant mix that supports a neighbourhood already shaped by cultural and culinary energy.
