Buyer secures fourth apartment at Sekisui's The Orchards, Norwest masterplan
Sekisui House Australia's Veue Parkside, the latest addition to The Orchards masterplan in Norwest, has attracted significant interest from both downsizers, young professionals, and even investors.
Among the newest residents is Wendy Tranter, a director of an IT company, who recently purchased her fourth apartment in the development.
Wedny's journey with The Orchards began in 2021 when she moved into Imperial Stage 1. Over the next few years, she transitioned to Aire Stage 2 and later invested in a third property at Veue Central.
Now, she has secured an oversized two-bedroom apartment in Veue Parkside.
“After living in Kirribilli for more than 20 years and following my children moving into their own homes, I was looking for a low maintenance, beautiful apartment where I could peacefully reside and still have access to important amenities," Wendy said.
"Living in The Orchards is everything I could have imagined and more.
"The buildings are well maintained, there are plenty of green areas to soak up and enjoy nature and the neighbourhood is very friendly. On top of that, we have Norwest Metro Train station, Norwest Hospital and a nice lake to stroll around all within a few minutes' walk."
Veue Parkside, part of the $1 billion masterplanned community, features 156 apartments spread across two nine and 14-level buildings.
It also includes four townhouse-style residences and ten two-level units. The development is designed by Crone Architects, with a vision that integrates the natural surroundings of The Orchards.
Sales at Veue Parkside have been largely driven by local Hills Shire residents, with the rest coming from across Sydney, including Vaucluse, Bondi Junction, and Maroubra.
Sekisui House Australia sales manager, David Lee, says there are few opportunities in Sydney’s north west to purchase carefully curated two-storey apartments or oversized four-bed sky homes.
"Downsizers seeking an oversized parkside home with large living spaces as well as owner-occupiers and young professionals looking for an additional ‘work from home’ space represented the largest cohort of purchasers," Lee said.
“Oversized apartments presenting a two-storey living, most of which are now sold, properties enjoying a northerly aspect overlooking the prestigious Castle Hill Country club and two-bed max’s were the first to sell.”
Wendy, who works from home most of the time, appreciates the serene environment and the scenic vistas across Castle Hill Country Club.
“I enjoy waking up to the scenic vistas across Castle Hill Country Club and light streaming in via the expansive windows. The internal colour scheme with wood accents is beautiful and perfectly matches my décor. My apartment feels homely and suits my lifestyle."
The Orchards’ concept of ‘Keinen Bika’ aims to create a community that blends seamlessly with the natural environment.
Veue Parkside residents have access to a communal function centre that opens up to landscaped parklands and a central podium.
A concierge service is also available in the adjacent Building A, servicing the needs of all residents at The Orchards.
Veue Parkside is located at 15-19 Spurway Drive, Norwest.
Construction by Westbourne Constructions has started and the first residents are expected to move in mid-2026. Close to 600 apartments have already been sold in The Orchards.
