The Burcham in Rosebery is a planned luxury residential development that’s equal parts challenging convention, and recalling the past.

Serving as a redevelopment of Rosebery’s 1918 Wrigley’s Gum factory, The Burcham has a cutting edge environmental design courtesy of architects Allen Jack+Cottier and the Stable Group, and is named in honour of the original 1918 factory’s architect, John Burcham Clamp.

The Burcham celebrates its industrial heritage with design excellence.

Regeneration of the former Wrigley chewing gum factory in Rosebery lies at the heart of The Burcham. An outstanding piece of Chicago-esque architecture, the former factory was built in 1918 from steel-reinforced concrete.

First impressions of The Burcham will no doubt focus on the elegant conversion of the 1918-built Wrigley chewing gum factory. But out of sight, in every apartment and even in the beautifully landscaped gardens, sustainability technology and design is the hidden appeal of this progressive development.

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.
