Tucked away in a quiet spot between the Sydney CBD and the airport, Rosebery is a suburb which was always intended to be the perfect place to mix work and play.

Early in the 20th century, the famed architect John Sulman originally planned Rosebery with a mix of light industry, large parks, and generously proportioned suburban bungalows. The evolving suburb now finds itself in the Green Square urban renewal zone, perfectly located to benefit from the new Green Square town centre, community facilities, and transport links.

A pice of Rosebery’s industrial history is about to be transformed into residential apartments as the Wrigley’s Factory gets a highend makeover.
The former factory was built in 1919 and extended 10 years later, in a time where Rosebery was considered a hub for confectionary manufacturers and other industrial
companies.

A piece of Rosebery’s industrial history will be transformed, with the Wrigley’s Factory to become a high-end residential development. The former factory, built in 1919 when Rosebery was a hub for confectionery manufacturers, will be renamed The Burcham, after the factory’s original architect John Burcham Clamp.

The Burcham in part, is a redevelopment of Rosebery’s 1918 Wrigley’s Gum factory and the name is borrowed from the original building’s architect John Burcham Clamp. The heritage-listed building is an outstanding piece of Chicago-esque architecture with a strong industrial design, which retains part of the existing structure coupled with two new residential buildings.
