Newcastle locals GWH is bringing its latest installment of new apartments to its native city, and their newest development, ERA, has been several years in the making.

ERA will comprises 281 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments across two striking towers a stone's throw from the best Newcastle has to offer.

The acclaimed architecture studio, FK Australia, behind some of Melbourne’s most iconic buildings including the record-breaking Australia 108, led the design of the new project.

“We brought in FK Australia to create something that Newcastle hasn’t seen before,” GWH Residential Sales Manager, Peter Kunov, said, adding that the development aims to place the city on the architectural map alongside Australia’s best-designed buildings.

We recently visited ERA's display suite to take a closer look as to what's on offer.

FK has designed the building so the living spaces are wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass windows, windows that almost replace walls. They wanted to maximise views and also let in as much natural light as possible. 

Much like GWH’s past developments, there was a conscious effort to offer significant resident amenity. 

Connected by a three-level podium, the two towers share 2,000 sqm of communal space.

Each tower will also feature a rooftop skygarden, offering all-weather function spaces and panoramic views of Newcastle’s harbor, beaches, and city centre.

GWH is no stranger to delivering standout developments in Newcastle, with Sky Residences nearby serving as a testament to the convenience and lifestyle appeal of their projects. 

ERA’s location offers easy access to light rail, Honeysuckle’s waterfront dining and entertainment options, and Newcastle’s renowned beaches.

Construction on the Bull Street site is already underway, with completion anticipated by late 2027.
