AUSTRALIA — Construction has officially begun on the latest phase of Sekisui House Australia’s ambitious $2 billion waterfront community project, Sanctuary, located at Wentworth Point.
This development is part of a larger initiative to transform the area from its industrial past into a vibrant waterside precinct.
Sekisui House Australia, renowned for its innovative and sustainable housing solutions, has already delivered approximately 2,100 homes and constructed seven award-winning buildings in Wentworth Point.
The company has nearly reached 100 sales for Willow, the latest addition to the Sanctuary development, highlighting the strong market interest in this prime north-facing riverfront location in Sydney.
The master plan for Sanctuary, designed by TURNER Architecture and Design Studio, spans 9.4 hectares and is divided into six stages.
A key feature of the plan is its integration with future public transport links, including the $602.4 million Parramatta Light Rail project, which will enhance connectivity and contribute to the area’s transformation.
Willow, situated along the waterfront, consists of 309 apartments that offer stunning views of the Newington Nature Reserve and the Parramatta River, extending to the Blue Mountains.
The design draws inspiration from the natural surroundings, incorporating elements like the curves of the Parramatta River and native flora patterns to create a harmonious living environment.
Paul Wainwright, Senior Sales and Operations Manager at Sekisui House Australia, emphasised the unique appeal of Willow’s location, stating: “More than ever, people see the appeal of living at one of Sydney’s last and largest absolute north-facing riverfront apartment addresses. It’s the final piece of the jigsaw in the reimagining of the Parramatta River at Sydney’s heart.”
The development also includes an organic-shaped lagoon pool and extensive green spaces that reflect Sanctuary’s commitment to integrating nature into urban living.
Sekisui House Australia ensures that each home meets high standards of quality and sustainability, supported by a 4 Gold Star iCIRT rating for integrity and financial stability.
