Marrick & Co 2019

House Notes – Marrick & Co

Mirvac has created a thriving, engaging and welcoming precinct in Marrickville, just 7km from the CBD. Complete with a new library and community hub, Marrick & Co has something for everyone from first home buyers to growing families and downsizers.

Positioned in the heart of Marrickville’s urban playground, it’s a space designed for connection, progressive thinking and creativity. Marrick & Co is a One Planet Living community bringing to life a vision for a world where people can live happy, healthy, and more sustainable lives. The apartments include:

  • A private ‘kitchen garden’ complete with worm farms and compost bins, which will give residents the chance to grow their own food
  • Opportunities for residents to embrace ‘collaborative consumption’ through the kitchen garden and book-swap shelving
  • An online community portal allowing residents to connect and form interest groups
  • Dedicated car share bays on-site, and provision for electric car charging points

One Planet Living is a vision for the world where it’s affordable for people to live within their fair share of the earth’s resources. With sustainability fundamental to its design, Marrick & Co is the first project in NSW to be recognised by Bioregional Australia as a One Planet Living community.
