Why TOGA likes to develop in Macquarie Park: Inside Macquarie Rise

There's a reason apartment developer TOGA is set to soar past delivering over 1,000 apartments in Macquarie Park.

TOGA Executive General Manager, Tony Falas, says the suburb is incredibly well connected, with the shopping centre acting as the focal point as well as the university, hospitals, and public transport links to wider Sydney.

TOGA's latest development in Macquarie Park, following on from its successful Macquarie Central, Macquarie Green, and One Twenty Macquarie developments, is Macquarie Rise, three towers with 268 apartments above retail and commercial spaces.

I recently caught up with Tony to find out more about Macquarie Rise.

Falas said they have focused particularly on the amenity at Macquarie Rise, as well as the quality of the finish, which they believe is the best quality in the area in the market at the moment.

"We have looked at the competition and we wanted to position oursevles at the top as far as quality is concerned, and that's been vindicated by the buyers that are coming through."

Residents will have access to a suite of amenities including a heated pool, gym, a resident lounge, karaoke room, and a bookable dining room.

There has been a mix of first home buyers and downsizers in the development that offers one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments.

Several of the larger apartments have been cleverly designed to offer multifunctional rooms that have sliding panels rather than traditional doors, adaptable for various uses like study or guest rooms.

TOGA, one of few developers to be rated a Gold Star by Equifax, has started construction on site at 122 Herring Road, a site which Falas says is difficult to replicate given it's at the top of the hill.

Construction has started an is slated for completion in mid-2027
