Carrington Place, Castle Hill - 36 Carrington Road, Castle Hill

Reputable builder&nbsp;Decode has commenced construction on <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/atrium-at-carrington-place-40-42-ashford-avenue-castle-hill">Atrium</a>, the first stage of Ellipe Property's $750 million Castle Hill masterplan, Carrington Place.

&nbsp;Occupying 17 amalgamated sites along Carrington Road, Ashford Avenue and Partridge Avenue in Sydney’s north-west, Carrington Place is the largest residential masterplan in Castle Hill. It will deliver more than 800 new homes across five stages, helping to address Sydney’s critical housing shortage.

A recent groundbreaking event was attended by more than 100 partners and stakeholders, including the Mayor of the Hills Shire, Federal Member for Mitchell, and the Acting NSW Building Commissioner. The groundbreaking was celebrated with a traditional turning of soil as well as a smoking ceremony led by a local Deerubbin Elder, paying respect to the traditional custodians of the land in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/castle-hill-nsw-2154">Castle Hill</a>.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/carrington-place-castle-hill-36-carrington-road-castle-hill">Carrington Place</a> is <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a>’s largest project to date, featuring architecture by the award-winning Tony Owen Partners and Stanisic Architects, with interiors by renowned design firm Studio SC, formerly known as Scott Carver.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216768]

With the newly-built Hills Showground Metro Station unlocking greater connectivity between the Hills and the Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a>&nbsp;Founder Sam El Rihani said that the groundbreaking marks the start of a thriving new community in Sydney’s burgeoning north-west – a sentiment echoed by Federal Member for Mitchell, Alex Hawke.

"With an ongoing shortage of high-quality, transport-oriented housing in greater Sydney, we’re proud to be delivering hundreds of quality new homes – with significant amenities and proximity to retail as well as the state-of-the-art Sydney Metro system," El Rihani said.

"Together with our partners, we are setting a new standard for modern, community-focused living in Castle Hill."

Alex Hawke said north west Sydney is becoming a hotspot for jobs and growth thanks to our world-class Metro infrastructure.

"The community has been ready for this change for some time now, and we thank developers like Ellipse Property for bringing that vision to Carrington Place,” said Hawke.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216764]

The masterplan will be constructed across five stages and feature abundant community space, with over 20,000 sqm of outdoor recreational area including a one-kilometre boardwalk connecting the precinct to the nearby Fred Caterson Reserve.

The project is seamlessly integrated with the surrounding bushland, with a site boundary that stretches right to the edge of Cattai Creek.

The Hills Showground Metro Station is just a two-minute walk from Carrington Place and offers fast connectivity to Sydney’s CBD, Chatswood, North Sydney, Macquarie Park, and Norwest Business Park.

Atrium comprises 140 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, some with double living spaces. Uniquely, over 75 per cent of apartments will feature studies or multi-purpose rooms, and abundant storage with various layouts also offering walk-in pantries.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216765]

Paying homage to its verdant setting, Atrium’s design features a curvilinear exterior echoing the form of Cattai Creek with lush landscaping surrounding the building on three sides. True to its namesake, it will also feature an expansive atrium at the ground floor entrance, further connecting residents to nature.

The development will offer elevated indoor-outdoor living, outdoor kitchens, BBQ areas, an outdoor gym, and rooftop terraces boasting sweeping views of the creek and the wider Hills region.

Atrium will be delivered by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/decode">Decode</a>, an award-winning Tier 2 residential builder and one of the first to achieve a prestigious Gold iCIRT rating.&nbsp;

<img alt="Construction starts on Castle Hill’s largest residential masterplan" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="02188aec-b465-44fd-bfe0-79fcd07432eb" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Team%20Shot%20%281%29.jpg?VersionId=.ZEHlCX4.ECvwt6Yv_jdyeHmZF6EqXrZ" />

Acting NSW Building Commissioner, Matt Press, said housing is a massive investment for any consumer, and it is absolutely vital that they can trust the developer and builder they are dealing with.

"We need iCIRT-rated developers and builders like Ellipse Property and Decode to be the backbone of our industry, and the type of quality players that are filling the void of the housing supply crisis."

Apartments at Atrium have been sold predominantly to downsizers and first-home buyers, who are attracted to Castle Hill’s natural beauty, vibrant community and abundant retail and dining options.

Speaking at the groundbreaking event, the Mayor of the Hills Shire Dr Michelle Byrne said that Carrington Place addressed the needs of the Hills’ changing demographics.

“There are people that have lived in the Hills for 30,40, 50 years, they’re not leaving the Hills - they’re downsizing and choosing apartments," Byrne said.

"There are also more and more people from outside the Hills who want to be part of our community. I’m looking forward to welcoming these people, and projects like Carrington Place - that build not just apartment blocks, but communities - are the key."

Atrium is set for completion in early 2026.

Decode kicks off construction at Castle Hill’s largest residential masterplan, Carrington Place

It was just over a year ago that Ellipse Property Group announced it had received approval for one of the largest, and greenest, masterplanned developments in the booming Castle Hill.

Since then, they've launched the first stage, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/carrington-place-castle-hill-36-carrington-road-castle-hill">Atrium</a>, sold half of its apartments, and begun groundworks after demolishing the previous buildings on the expansive 3.2-hectare site in the rapidly growing Showground Precinct.

Atrium comprises 147 apartments and sits as the gateway building to nature-fuelled masterplan that has over 30 per cent of site coverage dedicated to green open spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216770]

Ellipse Head of Development, Nigel Farquhar, said buyers have responded well to the design and amenity put into the apartments.

"Owner-occupiers have jumped at the opportunity to be a part of what is likely to be the greenest community to be produced in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/castle-hill-nsw-2154">Castle Hill</a>," Farquhar says, adding the team is seeing significant interest in the upper end of the market.

While generally downsizers are happy to wait for construction to be further advanced so they have more firm timelines to get their affairs in order and sell their current home, Farquhar says that hasn't been the case for some purchasers at Atrium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216765]

Downsizers, in particular, have been drawn to the design, finishes, and spacious layouts we offer, as well as the unique opportunity to collaborate with Ellipse's design team to alter floor plans at this early stage of construction,” says Farquhar.

“They are confident in committing, knowing that Ellipse is the developer and Decode, a gold star iCIRT-rated builder, is behind the project. They recognize the distinctiveness we’re offering and don’t want to risk missing out on the one-of-a-kind layouts available at this stage.

Farquhar notes that the architecture by Stanisic Architects and Tony Owen Partners, along with the masterplan’s landscape design by Site Image, has been a major drawcard for buyers.

“Ellipse’s design team, led by Associate Director Puja Khanna, recently refined some of the designs for the upper levels and penthouses. These updates were soft-launched and received a strong market response, with one penthouse being reserved at the early stage of hand sketches,” Farquhar says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216764]

Many apartments in Atrium are tailored to suit downsizers or right-sizing owner-occupiers, featuring expansive internal spaces that open onto generously sized balconies or garden courtyards.

A factor for these buyers has been the abundance of nature and space at Carrington Place, with over 20,000 sqm of recreational space and the one-kilometre boardwalk along Cattai Creek that connects the precinct to the nearby Fred Caterson Reserve.

Farquhar explains that future stages—of which there will be five—are designed to attract a broader range of demographics into the masterplan.

“The next stage will feature more diverse apartment configurations that will appeal to first home buyers and investors, while the current stage is primarily attracting owner-occupiers," he says. "There’s a significant demand for this type of product, but there isn’t much available on the market."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216769]

Farquhar highlights that the new metro line has been a game-changer, particularly for investors. “The fundamentals haven’t been favourable for investors in recent years, as seen by the decline in investor activity across Greater Sydney and Australia. However, the shortage of rental apartments in the area, combined with the new metro opening, which provides young professionals with easy access to the city, is expected to offer investors a strong yield."

The new Hills Showground Metro will transport Castle Hill residents to Barangaroo in just 33 minutes.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property Group</a> currently has two projects on the market: <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/carrington-place-castle-hill-36-carrington-road-castle-hill">Carrington Place</a>, featuring over 750 units, and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/east-cowper-granville-2-6-cowper-street-granville">East and Cowper</a>&nbsp;in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/granville-nsw-2142">Granville</a>, offering 264 units. The group maintains a robust development pipeline with plans to deliver more than 1,000 homes in the next few years.&nbsp;

Ellipse is planning to release the second stage of the Carrington Place masterplan early next year, with <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/decode">Decode</a> already on-site at Carrington Place, aiming to complete Atrium by late 2025. The entire masterplan is expected to be finalized by 2032.

Inside the first stage success of Ellipse's $850 million Castle Hill masterplan, Carrington Place

Ellipse Property's $850 million Carrington Place masterplan in Castle Hill has recently kicked off with the launch of its first stage, Atrium, which will be the gateway to what will be one of the area's greenest communities when completed in 2032.

There's been a wide range of purchasers since the first 151 apartments were launched in the project back in October.

A recent buyer was&nbsp;Lauren Spencer-Salt, a primary school teacher at St Andrew’s Primary School in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/quakers-hill-nsw">Quakers Hill</a>. She secured one of the&nbsp;larger-sized two-bedroom apartments in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/carrington-place-36-carrington-road-castle-hill">Carrington Place</a>.

Lauren said she researched various projects in the area including the likes of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/rouse-hill-nsw">Rouse Hill</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/kellyville-nsw">Kellyville</a>, Quakers Hill and The Ponds, before ultimately selecting Carrington Place.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216768]

She said the interior design was a really important factor.

“I wanted a layout where I had a bigger living area. I wanted open-plan living," Lauren said.

“When I went to Carrington Place, not only were the size of apartments larger, because I bought an oversized two bedroom with a study and a family room, all of the upgrades offered were already included. It had everything I wanted."

The apartment came with Miele appliances as standard and feature wooden floors.&nbsp;Lauren said the only addition was&nbsp;sheer curtains because she said it brings light into the interior room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216765]

"I was particularly drawn to the project's neutral palette and luxurious finishes, which allows buyers to imbue their living spaces with their own style and personality. There was also a huge array of apartment configurations or layout options to choose from which other surrounding projects just didn’t offer."

Situated directly opposite the Hills Showground Station, Carrington Place stood out due to its thoughtful design and the developer's reputation for excellence and reliability.

The vibrant community, coupled with its proximity to transport links, development of the Showgrounds precinct with new cafes, restaurants and shops coming, made Castle Hill the perfect choice for her forever home.

"I’m going to have a lifestyle and I know all the upgrades, what they are doing at the Showground, cafes and shops and to know that I’m amongst and apart of that," Lauren added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216764]

Another factor in the purchase was the integration of the natural landscape from Cattai Creek, creating a&nbsp;harmonious living environment.&nbsp; Additionally, the precinct will feature over 20,000 square metres of recreational space, making it one of the greenest master-planned communities in the Hills district.

Ellipse Property’s Head of Development, Nigel Farquhar said it is nice to see purchasers like Lauren realising their dream of homeownership at Carrington Place and really buying into the vision they're creating.

“We are so delighted to see buyers so happy with the quality, location and service,” he said.

“We believe one of the greatest attributes of Atrium is being part of a master-planned community – a sense of neighbourhood that connects well-designed natural internal landscaped amenity with the Cattai Creek future nature walk.&nbsp;

“The project boasts a broad range of unique floor plans, curved architecture with superior quality finishes and many larger-sized apartments that gives people a strong sense of home with the Metro Line on their doorstep”.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216768]

Carrington Place's first residential stage, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/atrium-at-carrington-place-40-42-ashford-avenue-castle-hill">Atrium</a>, offers 151 apartments within a mid-rise eight-storey building, boasting rooftop recreational spaces with stunning views of the surrounding landscape and Cattai Creek.

&nbsp;

The Hills Shire Council has a 30-year vision for the redevelopment and revitalisation of the Castle Hill Showground Precinct, located directly opposite the Carrington Place project, planned to create a new 15-hectare entertainment and recreation hub including a variety of community, arts, sporting and leisure activities. The iconic Showground site will become the primary civic space for a new precinct of the future local Hills communities.&nbsp;

Located directly opposite the Hills Showground Metro Station, residents of Carrington Place will have access to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a>’s CBD, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/chatswood-nsw">Chatswood</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/north-sydney-nsw">North Sydney</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/macquarie-park-nsw">Macquarie Park</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/norwest-nsw">Norwest</a> Business Park. With trains operating every four minutes in peak hour in each direction, residents are offered the highest convenience on Australia’s first driverless railway.&nbsp;

Construction is planned to commence imminently by iCIRT-rated builder Decode, with Stage One Atrium due for completion in Q4 2025. The entire five-stage precinct is due for completion in 2032.
