Project Description
Crows Nest Station is part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest infrastructure network. Situated in the heart of Crows Nest, it has transformed the previously quiet suburb. The station features entries off both the Pacific Highway and Hume Street and has been designed to support an oversite development that includes a 17-storey residential building and a 27-storey commercial building.
The project has significantly revitalised the area, leading to increased local employment opportunities and enhancing the community's vibrancy. Improved access to public transportation has provided residents with greater connectivity and convenience, while the commercial spaces are expected to attract businesses and services, further boosting the local economy. Overall, the station and its ongoing development are reshaping Crows Nest into a more dynamic and integrated part of Sydney.
Added Value
Robert Bird Group teamed up with SMEC, Woods Bagot and NDY to think of an innovative way to deliver the station with a value adding oversite development while de-risking the handover of the station platform and rail corridor to Sydney Metro for train commissioning. We used our construction engineering and visualisation capabilities to clearly demonstrate our vision to Sydney Metro, allowing us to become stage 2 and 3 designers for this key station design.
