Willoughby Grounds approaches stage one sellout

The first stage of Willoughby Grounds, the new Willoughby apartment development by First Quadrant Properties and Qualitas, is fast approaching sellout.

All of the one and two-bedroom apartments have been snapped up in the first building, Fleming, which was designed to pay homage to the tanneries from the 1800s.

All five of the buildings in Willoughby Grounds have been designed to reflect Willoughby's industrial past. Future stages will have buildings that recognise pottery, blacksmiths, logging and brickworks. 

There's only one three-bedroom apartment left, and a handful of four-bedroom apartments which have proven incredibly popular, so much so the developer amalgamated a number of smaller apartments to create more four-bedroom units.

LINK Project Marketing Director, Ben Hamblett, said four-bedroom apartments don't exist in Willoughby, which is drawing buyers who can't hit the threshold of a house purchase.

Willoughby Grounds will have just 164 apartments spread across the five buildings, with just 30 to 35 units in each. Fleming was the smallest stage, with sub-30 units following the amalgamations.

Construction of Willoughby Grounds is being undertaken by the iCIRT-rated builder DASCO, with the first apartments scheduled for completion later this year and the following stages expected to be ready by mid-2025.
