Acacia Apartments are located at 330-332 Botany Road, Alexandria in the Green Square Town Centre within the City of Sydney Local Government Area. 

They are conveniently located across from the Green Square Train station and the Green Square library. Additional local amenities include: Matron Ruby Grant park, children’s playground, Joynton Avenue Creative Centre, the new Gunyama Park Aquatic and Recreation Centre, and the Drying Green. The site’s traditional custodians are the Gadigal people of the Eora nation.

Following our Approach to Design, the project delivers on our Wellbeing, Belonging, Value and Collaboration goals through:

Wellbeing of our residents

• All-electric building to help reduce resident bills
• 3-bedroom family units on lower floors

Belonging in our communities

• Contribute towards community infrastructure and dedicate footpaths for community use
• Design to be indistinguishable from market housing

Value for City West Housing

• Reduce operational costs by using solar PV panels
• Consider long term sustainability – no natural gas in the development to reduce carbon emissions

Collaboration with partners

• Design allows for car-share spaces to accommodate our car share partner
• Incorporating resident feedback into the design such as communal open space
