Property developer PERIFA, with investment partner Mitsubishi Estate Asia (MEA), have acquired the former Balmain Leagues Club site. Known as Rozelle Village, it is designed by Studio.SC, formerly Scott Carver, with interiors by SJB and landscaping by Arcadia.

It will include a mix of high-quality one, two, and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, with unrivalled views of the Sydney skyline and Sydney Harbour, a village square, including a range of new food and hospitality venues, a community art studio and a sophisticated retail precinct anchored by a full-line supermarket; a first for the peninsula.

“The Balmain Leagues Club in Rozelle, which closed in 2010 to make way for the NSW Government Metro Transport Project, was once a hub for local families to come together and enjoy entertainment and hospitality. But for too many years the community has had to put up with a derelict site on their doorstep,” says Fabrizio Perilli, Co-Founder and Managing Director at PERIFA, part of Versatile Group.

“We’re delighted to embark on a new era for the site, together with our partners Mitsubishi Estate Asia. Our shared vision for Rozelle Village is to create a mixed-use precinct that is thoughtfully designed and caters to new residents and the community alike.

"It will be a major meeting place for the community, that embraces the unique character of the Balmain/Rozelle peninsula, while helping to shape its next chapter.”

The landmark site is one of the most anticipated development sites in Sydney. PERIFA and MEA are accelerating plans to deliver a vibrant, mixed-use, cultural and community focused precinct: Rozelle Village.

“We’re thrilled to partner on such an iconic project for Sydney and we look forward to continuing our relationship with PERIFA, drawing on the team’s extensive expertise in delivering high quality precincts across residential, retail and commercial, as we work together to deliver Rozelle Village,” says Yuzo Nishiyama, Head of Australia, Mitsubishi Estate Asia.

The $800 million Rozelle Village development aims to deliver a diversity of residential options for Sydney’s Inner West community, including a mix of premium private residences and affordable housing, alongside commercial, retail, communal open spaces and a long-awaited new home for the Wests Tiger’s Leagues Club.

The project is the second collaboration between PERIFA and MEA, who are quickly establishing a reputation for transforming iconic Sydney sites into premium lifestyle precincts that are sympathetic to their heritage.
