The proposed Short-term Accommodation units located at the podium levels of the development are akin to a typical serviced apartment and will be used for longer stays of up to 3 months – offering a choice of accommodation in addition to the hotel rooms.
The proposal includes ‘winter gardens’ to ensure that usable private open space is provided year-round, given its close proximity to the railway line.
The development is strategically located adjacent to the Milton Railway Station with unprecedented access to public transport, dining and retail precincts and key road networks into the CBD. The development is also set within an urban context defined by high-rise buildings of up to 30 storeys and established urban infrastructure.

This is a safe quiet area. Not a place for drunken football balcony parties and the trash, noise, violence that comes with it. That is what Caxton st is for.
