Neglected Balmain Leagues Club transformed: Welcome to Rozelle Village

AT A GLANCE:

• Developer: PERIFA & Mitsubishi Estate Australia
• Builder: Versatile Construction 
• Home Types: 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments, studios, and penthouses
• Address: 138-152 Victoria Road, Rozelle, NSW

After 15 years of anticipation, one of Sydney’s inner west’s most significant sites is finally being transformed. The former Balmain Leagues Club, long a landmark of Rozelle’s spirited past, is being revitalised into Rozelle Village – a vibrant new residential and lifestyle precinct that is part local destination, part luxe living, but all Rozelle charm.

Now selling for the first time, this long-awaited project offers a rare opportunity to live with breathtaking city and harbour views, thoughtful public spaces, and a new energy that’s set to reshape the local streetscape.

“Great communities are where people come together to break bread and share their days,” said Angela Bonnefin, founder and principal of Retail Strategy Group.

“Rozelle has always been that – and Rozelle Village is just adding to it in a wonderful new way.”

A landmark reborn

Located at 138 - 152 Victoria Road, Rozelle Village is more than just a new place to live; it’s a reconnection to Rozelle. Left derelict in 2009, followed by years of inactivity, the 7,300 sqm site will once again become a meeting place, bringing people together through beautifully designed apartments, buzzing laneways, and lively cafés and retail spaces.

A total of 227 residences are planned across a 16-storey mixed-use development – the result of a highly considered collaboration between architecture studio Studio.SC, acclaimed interior designers SJB, and landscape experts Arcadia.

Live with a view

One of the most striking features of Rozelle Village is its aspect. Many of the residences boast sweeping views across the city skyline and Sydney Harbour, creating a daily visual connection to the harbour city that few get to enjoy.

Inside, apartments are designed with liveability and longevity in mind. Think warm, grounded interiors with a touch of nostalgia – homes that are modern but full of soul. Moreover, SJB’s distinctive interiors offer you a selection of three contemporary yet classic palettes so you can express your style through your home, whether it’s through warm, earthy tones, cool blue-grey marble, or soft, subtle travertines.

From considered layouts, private balconies or wintergardens, and bespoke details such as layered stonework that set each space apart, Rozelle Village’s homes are built to be lived in and loved for years to come.

A true village atmosphere

Rozelle Village has been designed to be just that – a village. An elevator ride away from home is a beautiful new place where you can grab your morning coffee, catch up with friends, shop for the essentials, or enjoy a bite to eat.

12 new retail and hospitality spaces are planned to line the ground plane, connecting Victoria Road and Darling Street through activated laneways and a 1,444 sqm public plaza that invites residents and locals to gather and linger.

From a florist, bookstore, and salon to a cheese shop and gelateria, the precinct is bound to have something for everyone. Plus, the Balmain Community Club will return to the site with a brand-new home, re-establishing itself as a cornerstone of the community in a more contemporary form.

A first chance, a rare chance

This is the first opportunity to purchase in Rozelle Village, and given the years of build-up to this moment, interest is expected to be high.

With ground works already underway and approvals in place, buyers can have confidence in the project’s delivery and vision.

Whether you're a long-time Inner West local, an investor looking for something with real future appeal, or someone wanting to downsize without compromising lifestyle, Rozelle Village is a unique opportunity to be part of a modern-day transformation in one of Sydney’s most established neighbourhoods.

One-, two-, and three-bedroom residences are selling, with the display suite now open to view by private appointment.
