The Chatswood Tower Project is a proposed mixed use tower in Sydney’s Chatswood, New South Wales, Australia. The Chatswood Tower Project has officially awarded its designing contract to AJC Architects. The award-winning design was chosen for the mixed-use tower by the New South Wales (NSW) government.
Sitting over two separate sites that currently hold low-rise apartment blocks, the project’s location is within Sydney’s Chatswood. It is right on the border between a residential district and a commercial district, at the northern end of Anderson Street.

The tower draws inspiration from the concept of “high-rise houses”.It will host a total of 86 residences, set above a commercial podium. Approximately, 30% of the tower’s units will contain three and four-bedroom apartments.
