Sekisui secures approval for Aeris, next stage at $5 billion Melrose Park masterplan
Sekisui House Australia and Hankyu Hanshin Properties have received development approval for the sixth stage in Melrose Park’s urban renewal masterplanned community in Sydney’s north west.
Designed by GroupGSA, Aeris is the most visionary stage yet in Melrose Park. The two 20 and 24-level towers, significantly higher than what has come before in the Melrose Park masterplan, will feature 468 apartments. There will also be a smaller seven-level building atop a common basement podium.
'Aeris' derives its name from the Latin word 'aer,' meaning 'air.' The name captures the essence of the limitless sky and expansive vistas that this stage offers. Aeris embodies a sense of openness, symbolising boundless possibilities and the freedom of vast, open spaces.
It is the latest realisation of Sekisui House Australia’s vision at Melrose Park, where apartments reach new heights in design, craftsmanship and amenity, offering sweeping city views and a home that will continue to reward now and into the future.
Alex Grujovski, Project Director – Apartment & Mixed-Use Developments at Sekisui House Australia, said development approval for Aeris represents an exciting chapter in the evolution of Melrose Park in transforming the former industrial precinct.
"This stage reflects our commitment to creating sustainable, vibrant communities that enhance the lives of residents and contribute in a positive way to the environment," Grujovski said.
“Aeris will redefine urban living with cutting-edge design, sustainability features and lifestyle amenities. Apartments will be spacious, modern and equipped with smart home technology, including digital keyless entry and remote-controlled lighting.”
Residents will enjoy premium facilities including a rooftop pool and recreation deck designed in collaboration with ASPECT Studios, offering panoramic views over the masterplan. Additional amenities include communal alfresco BBQ/dining areas, a fully equipped gym and secure parking.
Aeris will enhance Melrose Park’s connectivity through pedestrian pathways, internal road networks and access to parks, the future Town Centre and key transport links. A publicly accessible through-site link will connect residents with future amenities.
The first apartments in Aeris are planned to be released in Q2 2025, with construction anticipated to commence in late 2025 and completion slated for 2027.
Sekisui House Australia’s $5 billion Melrose Park project is set to transform into a thriving new community upon completion, significantly enhancing the housing supply in the north-west of Sydney with 5,500 homes, a commercial and retail town centre and extensive parklands.
Over 52,000 sqm of green open spaces have received development approval in Melrose Park, comprising Central Park (17,586 sqm, soon to be renamed), Wharf Road Gardens (19,960 sqm), and Western Parklands (15,102 sqm), providing expansive green spaces for the growing community.
