Perth Glory precinct: Owner Ross Pelligra plans $300 million sports and residential development in Embleton

Owner Ross Pelligra is set to invest $300 million in a new sports and residential development in Embleton, revitalizing the Perth Glory precinct.

Ross Pelligra, the owner of Perth Glory, has announced plans for a significant $300 million development project in Embleton, located in Perth's north-east. This initiative aims to create a residential, hotel, and sports precinct surrounding the training ground of the women's team, with the intention of generating real estate returns to support the soccer club.

Urban Renewal Vision

Pelligra described the project as an "urban renewal project," emphasizing its focus on providing facilities that cater specifically to women. He stated, "The beauty of it, it’s got sports and accommodation there for the downsizers in the area." The development will include amenities such as gyms and health and wellbeing services, ensuring that women in the community have access to essential services, including hairdressing.

Community Impact

This ambitious project not only aims to enhance the local infrastructure but also seeks to create a vibrant community hub. By integrating sports and residential spaces, Pelligra hopes to foster a supportive environment for both the soccer club and local residents.

As the plans unfold, the focus remains on leveraging the development to benefit Perth Glory and its supporters, while also contributing positively to the Embleton area.
