Northern Gateway site at Cronulla secured for $300 million development
Prominent developer Allen Sammut has amalgamated all of the properties in the block opposite the northern end of Cronulla mall, paving the way for a $300 million development.
The proposed project will include commercial and residential components, including a full-line major brand supermarket, specialty shops and restaurants.
Sutherland Shire Council refers to the block as the Northern Gateway to the Cronulla Centre.
The Sammut Group has lodged a plan for a $350 million revitalisation of Cronulla’s CBD
A vision to reinvigorate Cronulla’s CBD is planned with a development application lodged for a $350 million mixed-use urban renewal project. The proposal by Sydney’s Sammut Group seeks to transform an entire block opposite the northern end of Cronulla mall, breathing new life into the retail/commercial hub.
Sammut Group’s development application follows its successful amalgamation of all the properties comprising a mixture of old retail and commercial premises, which the Sutherland Shire Council calls the Northern Gateway site. Strategically positioned along the main entryway to Cronulla beach, it spans a total of 5225 square metres — between Croydon Street and Abel Place — and is one of the largest commercial sites in the southern Sydney beachside suburb.
Sammut Group Lodges $350m Cronulla Retail Precinct Plan
A bold $350-million plan to reinvigorate the northern end of Cronulla’s CBD would transform a 5225sq m site into a mixed-use residential and retail precinct. Sammut Group acquired the Northern Gateway properties between 3 and 23 Kingsway at Cronulla with venture capital partner Alceon Group.
Plans for initial demolition works plus a three-storey basement car park and two-storey retail and commercial podium have been lodged with the Sutherland Shire Council this month. Ultimately the site would include residential, commercial and retail mixed-use developments, including 112 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, 885sq m of commercial space, restaurants, shops and a flagship Harris Farm Markets store.
Supermarket, offices and 112 apartments in Cronulla’s Northern Gateway plans
This is how the block opposite the northern end of Cronulla mall will look according to a development application lodged by Sammut Developments.
The DA says the Northern Gateway proposal “takes inspiration from the coastal location of the site” and “has been designed to minimise the impact of overshadowing” of the mall.
However, the maximum building height will exceed the 30 metre LEP limit by 3.05 metres.
Under the Sammut Developments’ plans, 3-23 Kingsway, which at present houses old, two-storey shops and offices, will be redeveloped to include:

The mixed-used urban renewal project, known as Vue, will cover more than 5000 square metres after Sammut Group was able to pull off a complex site aggregation that cost more than $100 million.
Sammut Group director Allen Sammut said negotiations took a year, encompassing 24 stakeholders across nine properties .
How Sammut Pulled Off a $100m Site Amalgamation

$350m Cronulla project gets tick of approval
Busy developer Sammut Group has added another project to its burgeoning pipeline after securing approval for a $350 million mixed-use development at the northern end of Cronulla Plaza.
The nine-storey development will be the first major urban renewal project in the southern coastal Sydney suburb since Northies Hotel was redeveloped into the Sur Mer residential complex more than 20 years ago.
It will be built on a 5225-square-metre amalgamated site at 3-23 Kingsway, opposite the entrance to the open-air shopping arcade that runs down Cronulla Street.
Known as Vue, the development will comprise four levels of basement parking, a two-storey podium housing ground-floor shops and first-floor offices and two residential buildings above offering 112 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
Harris Farm Markets coming to Cronulla in approved Northern Gateway development
The block of old shops and offices on Kingsway opposite the northern end of Cronulla mall is set to be transformed following approval of a nine-storey development that includes a ground level shopping centre with offices and apartments above.
The retail component will include a full-line supermarket, liquor store and Harris Farm Markets, which has been looking to open in Sutherland Shire for many years.
The development, on what Sutherland Shire Council calls the Northern Gateway site, was approved with conditions by Sydney South Planning Panel.
Developer, the Sammut Group, completed the difficult task of amalgamating 10 small properties.
Getting the mix right: Leasing commercial offerings below apartment buildings
Underneath a new apartment building in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, agents were keen to talk up the quality of the retail offering to potential buyers. There was going to be a gourmet deli, a flower shop and a quality cafe, they said.
Later on, when most of the units were sold, the new tenants appeared in the retail spaces: KFC and Hungry Jacks.
Not five minutes away, the owner of a retail area under a big apartment tower applied for an extension of the space and modifications to bring in a fine-dining restaurant. The residential owners above eagerly agreed. But they were shocked, months later, to watch a burger bar moving in.
“It can be really hard to 100 per cent guarantee great tenants are going to come in and operate in an early off-the-plan campaign,” said Blake Schulze, national director residential at Colliers. “But we will always push developers to stick to their original plan and not accept the first tenant who applies for the space.
