Set in the inner city suburb boundary of Surry Hills and Redfern, The Surry Hills Village and Wunderlich Lane developed by SJB, Toga Group, and Studio Prineas, brings new life into the previously demolished shopping precinct. The project is divided into seven distinguishing villages to deliver essential amenities and foster community in the east-west border precinct. The new development offers luxury residential, bars, green space, and boutique retailers in one space.

The development utilises Brickworks’ product throughout the project, utilising the durable bricks as both an aesthetic and functional attribute for the build. Using three colours of Bowral Bricks- Bowral Blend Capitol Red, Gertrudis Renovation, and Gertrudis Brown, Surry Hills Village makes its mark in the skyline, with the tonal redbrick seamlessly blending the new development with the original facade of the block, which still stands on the North East corner. Thanks to their resilience, durability, and low maintenance requirements, the selected materials reflect the residents' and visitors' vibrant and dynamic lifestyles. With a wide range of activities anticipated in Surry Hills Village upon full completion, Brickworks’ products provide aesthetic appeal and longevity for each structure to be a lasting landmark over time.

The new development offers luxury residential, bars, green space, and boutique retailers in one space.

The striking contrast between the solid, clean lines of red brick and the lush, organic surroundings makes Surry Hills Village particularly visually appealing. The timeless appeal and design versatility stand out for the project, given its historical and heritage standing within the leafy suburb. The project made a dedicated effort to preserve elements of the original Surry Hills Shopping Centre while incorporating new designs. By utilising GB Masonry (Glazed Kite Breeze) and Bowral Pavers and Bricks, these additions pay homage to the landmark's 1981 design, highlighting both the timeless look and the design versatility of Brickworks products.

Surry Hills Village's full completion is anticipated to bring a wide range of activities. The project can be seen as a liveable and professional area with apartment complexes and ample office space. Already housing Coles, Harris Farm, and then a tremendous 200-seat Greek restaurant named Olympus (sister to Potts Point’s Apollo), many other venues are set to open. Once complete in early 2025, Wunderlich Lane will be the residence for 30 restaurants, bars, beauty and wellness-focused boutique stores, and The EVE Hotel Sydney. 

After nearly ten years of development, the first phase is complete, with four multi-residential buildings ready to welcome new residents. The project will open in phases until autumn next year. Presently, less than 18 apartments are left for sale at the popular new precinct, which features a complex of 122 units.
