Club Ryde cuts 20 storeys in $245m Ryde tower rework

An earlier iteration surfaced in 2025 and stalled at the SEARs stage, the outlet reports. It describes the application as saying the rework followed feedback from the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.

That earlier scheme had 30-storey and 45-storey towers and a combined 551 apartments. The new plan lists 463, which is 88 fewer on those two figures. Car parking has also been reduced from the 889 spaces first proposed, the outlet reports.

The numbers

The Urban Developer gives a $245 million development cost. Paired with a rezoning proposal lodged at the same time, the application would set a 4.67:1 floor space ratio over the 9072sq m site, producing 42,178sq m of gross floor area, with 40,849sq m of it residential.

Within the 463 apartments, 74 are affordable, and the outlet says Evolve Housing would run them for 15 years. Seven basement levels would hold 664 residential parking spaces plus 120 for club visitors, it adds.

At ground level the report lists new club premises, a through-link open to the public and public open space.

What’s next

The report says plans are on show, but gives no exhibition dates or determination timeline. For another Sydney tower on exhibition, see our earlier story on HYG’s 56-storey Chatswood proposal.

The Urban Developer also places the site among other Ryde proposals. It notes that other schemes nearby go as high as 20 storeys, one of them an 18-storey neighbour. Top Ryde, which changed hands for $525 million in October 2025, lies 450m north of the club, it says. According to the outlet, that shopping centre is also next to Sasco’s $61 million, 114-apartment scheme.

The outlet adds that the Sasco scheme overlooks Ryde Council’s $110 million New Heart of Ryde project, which it describes as failed. We have not independently verified that description.
