Rising above the urban fields of Chippendale Green, this remarkable structure reflects the unique character of the creative neighbourhood in which it stands.

Connor is the result of a deeply reasoned response to a complex set of design challenges: how to maximise natural light while maintaining privacy for occupants; optimise its parkfront position; and illuminate the southern aspect within the framework of the pre-specified building envelope.

Connor is distinctive and individual. Deep slots cut into the profile of the building bringing natural light and air to the centre of the structure and, in turn, break it into a series of independent blocks. Solid sides and glazed louvred ends bring a sculptural form to the building, almost as if suspended from the sky – like a giant artwork.

The silky sheen created by the reflectiveness of its brushed copper/aluminium composite cladding sets the building firmly on the cutting edge of design.

The exterior also features independently angled vertical fins that create a shimmering lenticular effect, bringing an inviting warmth that enhances the new urban landscape.

R E F L E C T I N G V A L U E Connor presents an opportunity to secure a property at the mid-point of Central Park’s development journey. With three stages already completed, sold out and enjoying strong and well-established rental interest, Central Park has demonstrated its value in the Sydney property market. As the first of four additional residential stages yet to be released, Connor is an opportunity to buy with complete confidence in the developers’ commitment to excellence and in the precinct’s future growth.

“We wanted to create a building that was a transitional form between the high rise aluminium and glass of the city and the lower brick warehouses of Chippendale.

“Hence the height and the use of the copper aluminium cladding that brings warmth and reflects both the highly finished city scape and the more earthy nature of Chippendale.

“In the case of Connor we were first influenced by the envelope, its rather cubic shape meant we needed to get light into the building; hence the deep slots that cut into the exterior allowing light in.

“The building feels fractured and sculptural almost as if lifted up and suspended from the sky. A delicate balance of form, composition and proportion.”

S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y Central Park has embraced sustainability with smart metering, open spaces and a massive investment in green technologies.

Connor is connected to Central Park’s innovative on-site central thermal plant and tri-generation facility, which provides efficient, low-emission domestic hot water and thermal energy for space heating and cooling across the precinct. Central Park’s on-site recycled water treatment plant provides water for irrigation, washing machines and toilet flushing.

Connor will benefit from all of this and will proudly achieve five green stars from the Green Building Council of Australia.

L O B B Y The entrance to Connor is extraordinary.

An enormous light box bridging two levels of the open lobby area creates a huge impact as it changes colour throughout the day. A Concierge service will operate from the lobby 12/7, providing key security, parcel collection and other essential services.

A M E N I T I E S Other exclusive amenity provided for residents of Connor, beyond the Concierge, includes a fully equipped, daylit cardio room or, for more reflective moments, the reading room creates a quiet lounge retreat.

However, the most unique facility Connor offers is the outstanding communal rooftop terrace complete with jacuzzi, barbecues, seating areas and amazing cityscape views over the award-winning architecture of Central Park – with Yann Kersalé’s signature Sea Mirror lighting artwork front and centre.
