    Sky High Revolution- East Side Quarter, Retreat Drive Penrith

    EAST SIDE QUARTER Retreat Drive, Penrith MARISSA GEORGOPOULOS WESTERN Sydney hub Penrith is due for its biggest transformation yet – a $500 million residential development that will push the suburb to new heights. The monumental new estate known as East Side Quarter will include 11 buildings ranging from four to 15 storeys and offer panoramic Blue Mountains views, a resort-style pool deck, play areas for kids and a retail laneway. The estate will also have a lakefront dining precinct, wellness retreat and regional play spaces. The first luxury apartments will hit the market next month. Telegraph the project was the culmination of long-time planning. “We’re very excited to finally put it out to the public,” Mr James said. “All up, it is 850 apartments, 3500sqm of retail, and it will be what we’re calling the first urban village of Western Sydney as it spans more than 6.5ha. Over half the site is landscape.” Neighbouring the site is the Penrith Panthers Leagues Club. Mr James said the proposal was welcomed by the Panthers board. Club members have been offered an early chance to buy into the 152 units being made available in the project’s first release in July. “We have gone out to them over the past week and in that time we have had over 50 per cent of the apartments pre-sold. This shows the local market has been crying out for this level of development. “There has been a healthy mix of buyers but downsizers have certainly shown strong interest.” Each apartment will have at least one car space. The one-bedders start from $400,000. Two-bedroom units are upwards of $550,000. The threebedders are priced from $700,000. Architects Turner will incorporate stone benchtops, porcelain floor tiles and mirrored splashbacks in kitchens and bathrooms. Construction of the first two buildings will start this year, with doors set to open to residents in 2020.

    New Homes: We look at three of the best waterside developments

    This state has some of the most beautiful waterways in the world so it’s no wonder developers are seeing their potential. Up on the northern beaches, developer CABE is tapping into the over-55s luxury housing market with a swish offering at Bayview, on the doorstep of Pittwater’s yachting and boating playground. The boutique project of five residences is also close to Mona Vale and Newport beaches and has walking tracks nearby, including to Church Point. Prices in the eco-friendly building, designed by Lesiuk Architects, start from a cool $2.5 million. Meanwhile in the southwest of the city, construction has begun on The Paper Mill in Liverpool, whose developers are promising to spark a new era of waterfront living for the area. Coronation Property has a vision of residents strolling and cycling along the Georges River boardwalk in what it says will become a “food, local produce and beverage” hub with community facilities and cultural pursuits. The first sod at the former industrial site was turned this month after a second wave of apartments was released for sale. Another centre undergoing gentrification is the city of Newcastle, which has had an overhaul of its waterfront areas in the last decade. Sydney developer Thirdi has launched its third development in the city, a two-tower apartment block just to the west of the CBD known as WestEnd. Future residents might spot former Australian cricket captain popping in the Newcastle CBD for holiday supplies – Clarke has recently snapped up a weekender in the Johnson Property Group’s Trinity Point development at Lake Macquarie, about 50 kilometres south of the former steel city.

Watersedge has been designed by Lesiuk Architects, a firm known for its Balinese design bent and eco-friendly approach. The internal look and feel was crafted by SJB Interiors. The building will employ the power of nature, with plants cascading over the exterior to give residents greater privacy and help cool the interiors in summer. CABE development manager Joe Bevacqua expects the two remaining apartments to sell before Christmas. He says the business is interested in developing more small, premium projects “should the opportunities and zonings present themselves”. WestEnd, 3-13 Charles Street, Wickham One-beds 51-60 square metres $327,500+ Two-beds 68-75 square metres $481,500+ Three-beds 92 square metres $757,500+ Strata levies From $715 a quarter Due for completion 2017 Agent 02 9409 7200; westendnewcastle.com.au The gentrification of Newcastle’s former industrial areas is stepping up with several new apartments on the drawing board at Wickham, to the west of the CBD. One of those is WestEnd, a 126-apartment offering that will be housed in two buildings ranging from nine to 10 storeys high. Wickham will be given a boost by a proposed $75 million state-government transport interchange to be built in the suburb. It will allow commuters to switch between trains, light rail, buses, taxis and private cars. WestEnd will have the Newcastle CBD on one side and the harbour foreshore and the Hunter River mouth on the other. The apartments will be close to a walking trail that stretches along the foreshore to Nobbys Beach and lighthouse past a series of restaurants and cafes. The Paper Mill, 20 Shepherd Street, Liverpool One-beds 57-59 square metres $420,000+ Two-beds 77-96 square metres $542,500+ Three-beds 95-130 square metres $700,000+ Strata levies From $600 a quarter Due for completion 2017 Agent CPC Sales, 1800 78 33 22; www.liveatthepapermill.com.au AFTER selling out of apartments on the lower floors of The Paper Mill earlier this year, developer Coronation Property has recently released 88 apartments in its river-front Liverpool offering. The Woods Bagot-designed apartments are being built where one of Australia’s oldest and largest paper mills once operated. The design will blend re-purposed 19th-century heritage-protected industrial buildings with modern apartment towers. The Paper Mill is 650 metres from Liverpool station and has buses nearby. Construction of the 29-storey development began this month. The project has proved popular with buyers.  More than 500 apartments and two-level town homes have already been sold at the site, which incorporates The Paper Mill and The Bindery.

    Apartments add chic option to downsizing

    Targeted specifically for buyers over 55, Watersedge in Sydney’s northern beaches proves that apartment living isn’t just for young first-home buyers. Alison Cheung reports Watersedge is the latest residential project released in Bayview, with property developer CABE setting its sights on the over-55s market. The development, at 2079 Pittwater Rd, will consist of four triplebedroom units and a penthouse. With only five dwellings in total, managing director of CABE Lou Zivanovic said Watersedge will provide an alternative to offerings for the over-55s market, which are typically higher in density. “Making the decision to downsize doesn’t mean that buyers have to compromise on size and design,” Mr Zivanovic said. “Watersedge is an opportunity to secure a beautifully appointed apartment home that still offers spacious living and entertaining areas.”
