has received approval from the Western Australian State Government’s central land and development agency, DevelopmentWA, for a mixed-use residential project in Lots 1 and 2 at The Oval within Subiaco East in Perth, commencing in 2026.
In a statement, UEM Sunrise said the approval marked the first project within the Subiaco East Masterplan, aimed at supporting local housing needs while embracing innovative living solutions.
UEM Sunrise will transform Lots 1 into tiered heights of 36 and 26 storeys, while Lot 2 will have 11 storeys, both reflecting a high standard of urban design showcasing local heritage and lifestyle.
The project will offer a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments including townhouses suitable for intergenerational living with multi-family residences and diverse amenities to foster connection and inclusivity.
UEM Sunrise chief executive officer Sufian Abdullah said the group also dedicated 12% of the units as affordable housing.
“This project is not only about introducing our unique UEM Sunrise experience to Perth, but also about supporting the local market by helping to fulfil pressing housing demands and creating a sustainable, inclusive community.
“Through this development, we are showcasing our expertise in innovation, quality and design excellence on a global stage,” he said.
Sufian added that the project will target a five-star Green Star rating under the new Green Star v1.0 standard.
