Hot Castle Hill gets injection of new apartments as Larool Crescent launches
Joel Robinson August 15, 2024PROJECT LAUNCH

The Castle Hill off the plan apartment market has been running hot for several years, since the announcement of the Sydney Metro expansion and the $3 billion redevelopment of the Hills Showground Station Precinct.

However new apartment opportunities in the colloquial centre of the Hills District have been few and far between in the last 12 to 18 months.

Developer CPDM is the newest entrant into the Castle Hill market, revealing its newest development, Larool Crescent.

Marketed by Boston Buckler, Larool Crescent, named after its location near the rejuvenated Castle Towers shopping centre, presents a more boutique option for apartment seekers. There are 110 apartments and townhouses spread across four five-level buildings on its srpawling 8,000 sqm block.

The buildings have been designed by PTW to wrap around a central courtyard with extensive landscaping.

There will be one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments on offer, as well as a handful of large townhouses, a rarity in new developments in the area.

Boston Buckler Principal, Alex Walker, said the residences are "tailor-made for owner-occupiers," with designs catering to first home buyers, downsizers, and young families.

The interiors of Larool Crescent have been crafted by Coco Republic, who have focused on combining form with function. 

"There were certain elements that we put together to achieve warm and clean interiors for this project," Coco Rebuplic's Head of Interior Design, Diana Ribarevksi said.

"Things like the black accents, natural stone in the kitchen, beautiful tactile tiles throughout. All these elements add interest, but also a perfect base for people to bring their own style into the interiors."

CPDM Managing Director, Aarong Liu, said the goal is to create spacious living spaces that support and encourage the lifestyle of the Hills, while CPDM Senior Development and Project Manager, Ross Norton, said that the unique nature of the Castle Hill site required a distinctive architectural approach. 

PTW Asia-Pacific was enlisted to handle the designs of Larool Crescent, which has been a decade in planning.

"The vibrant town centre, access to the new metro line, excellent retail environment, and abundant parks have all influenced the design of these new homes," PTW Asia Pacific Managing Director Simon Parsons said.

Larool Crescent is strategically situated near Castle Hill's key amenities and attractions, offering residents convenient access to popular shopping destinations like Parklea Markets and Castle Towers, as well as a variety of acclaimed local restaurants.

CPDM has already appointed a builder ahead of construction, and the project includes Resilience Insurance's in demand Latent Defects Insurance which covers buyers in the event of any structural defects in the building for the first 10 years post-completion.
