HOMEBUSH/OLYMPIC PARK [All Projects & Discussion]

[cammo2004]

I reckon they may be waiting to see what Barangaroo coughs up. It's beginning to turn into a bit of a financial district down near KSW, what with Westpac already being there, and Macquarie Bank and AMEX to be moving down there. Would be a big LOL at the ones who have already bought in down there if CBA grabbed one of the big ones.

a few years old but still good. would be a different scene in a few years with all the highrise going on.

driving past a few days ago i noticed a few cores rising in the homebush area.
im sure one was the sofitel hotel but there were two more rising that im not sure about closer to the station i think, maybe commonwealth bank?

if anyone can make their way out there and take a few snaps as im sure we would notice a lot of progress.

[CULWULLA]

yes we need regular updates from anyone that lives or visits ect.

[Fabian]

The best I can do is distance shots from Uni at Strathfield. I can get one of the cranes next week

[lawson18]

well thats just not good enough fabian , you have to go there to take the pictures

[Fabian]

At least it's better than nothing. I don't own a car so it's hard to drive there. Getting to uni itself on PT is tough.

[lawson18]

yeah homebush is a bit hard to get to,why the hell are they putting a business park there,lack of transport there .I ve been past redfern industrial park the place looks quite nice and has life to it during lunch hours

[KIWIKAAS]

eh? There's a underground station slap bang in the middel of it, there's a freeway running next to it, central location, etc.....
It's the ideal spot for such development.

Btw. Wouldn't this be cool around the Homebush area?

[lawson18]

yeah but it runs on its own line ,one train runs back and forth which makes it shotty having to change platforms and all

[LanceDriver]

yeah, the way you've got to go from the cbd to lidcome and then walk at least 5 minutes around to the special platform then wait a while. it's not very well connected, but it could be. there are a few direct services between the city and olympic park but they are the rare exception.

[Fabian]

Took this at uni today

[CULWULLA]

fab, what is core at left and what are cores at right?

[Fabian]

Yep. The one on the left is the Softiel and the other CBA.

[Fabian]

Thanks James. The convience store is so polluting to the eye. I want a proper supermarket for the area instead of that overpriced @#$%.
