A $650 million project by Lederer in Gosford is set to transform Kibbleplex into jewel in the crown:
The first stage of project will see 730 residential apartments in four blocks on the old Kibbleplex site
A $650 MILLION development unveiled on Wednesday, the largest urban renewal project ever undertaken on the Central Coast, is set to transform the Gosford CBD and see it regain its crown as the capital of the region.
Called Gosford Alive, the proposal covers 5.8ha in the heart of Gosford which sees the tired Kibbleplex building replaced with apartment blocks housing 730 apartments in a mixture of high-rise and low-rise towers and, eventually, 730 apartments above the Imperial Shopping Centre.
Two low-rise blocks of apartments will be built on the former Kibbleplex site

A new-look Kibble Park will be a key feature of the Gosford Alive project with he green space transformed into a vibrant civic space with new water features, a multipurpose performance space and markets.
The entire project will be developed over a 15-20-year span and built in five-year stages.
The first stage will include a 23-storey tower and a low-rise block on the Kibbleplex site and the upgrade of Kibble Park.
Imperial Shopping Centre owner, Lederer Property who just spent $20 million redeveloping the Imperial Shopping centre, is behind the project.
Key to the project is the redevelopment of Kibble Park as a public and civic domain opening on to both the new project on the Kibbleplex site and the Imperial Centre.
“The development is consistent with the council’s vision and the State Government’s draft Central Coast strategy that aims to see Gosford become the capital of the Central Coast,” Mr Ristwej said.
“Combined with the redevelopment of Gosford Hospital and the ATO building and 600 new jobs, Gosford is really moving,” he said.
“We have confidence in Gosford and think that confidence in Gosford is gaining momentum,” group general manager of property Marek Ristwej said.
“We showed that confidence by being the first to invest in the CBD by redeveloping the Imperial Centre.”
Mr Ristwej said Gosford had a lot to offer with an abundance of public transport, natural beauty, top schools and a major hospital on its doorstep.
“Why is no one talking about Gosford?”

“This is a very strong investment by the Lederer Group in Gosford. We have been committed to Gosford for years and will continue to be for many more years.
“We are delivering what no one else has in Gosford – it’s a game changerfor Gosford, it will change everything about Gosford.”

Mr Ristwej said he could not divulge what the company paid for the Kibbleplex site, a council-owned building, as it was still covered by commercial in confidence clauses.
STAGED DEVELOPMENT:
The proposed masterplan includes three sites, the Imperial Shopping Centre, the Kibbleplex building and Kibble Park and the development application for stage one is expected to be lodged in the first quarter of 2016.
A Gosford Alive pop-up stall will be at the Sundae in the Park event this Sunday, February 28, in Kibble Park between 10am and 3pm.
A number of community information sessions about the Gosford Alive project are also planned throughout March.
