Golden Sedayu to deliver significant amenity in Somerset, Burswood Point first stage
It's a crucial first step in any multi-stage development that the initial phase provides significant amenities for the first residents, especially when the full masterplan might take a decade or more to complete.
Golden Sedayu is hitting all the right notes with its $3.8 billion Burswood Point masterplan—a major redevelopment of the land surrounding Belmont Racecourse on the Swan River.
In the first stage, the developer is focusing on two towers: Somerset East and Somerset West. Last year, they launched 203 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, and the response has been overwhelming. These apartments will be the first of approximately 4,500 dwellings to be delivered across the 38-hectare precinct.
Within the two towers, Golden Sedayu has strategically included a range of amenities to ensure that the first residents of the masterplan are well catered for.
Upon arrival, residents and guests are welcomed by Somerset's sculptural two-tower form.
The architectural design by DKO Architecture features rising tiers of balconies with greenery, creating a visually striking entrance.
Located on the third floor, Somerset’s amenities offer panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
The highlight of the development's amenities is the 20-metre infinity pool that appears to cascade towards the Swan River, surrounded by sun decks, submerged loungers, a children's shallow pool, and jacuzzis.
An observation deck offers a private viewing experience of the nearby racetrack, with Optus Stadium and Matagarup Bridge as a backdrop.
The viewing deck will have BBQ facilities, making it suitable for gatherings and social events.
Somerset's deck also includes areas dedicated to restorative yoga and meditation, complemented by a wellness centre that has a gymnasium surrounded by greenery.
For private dining, Golden Sedayu has designed a residents’ dining room.
Part of stage one will also include a boulevard with various shops, cafes and supermarkets. Burswood Point will have 91,000 sqm of retail and commercial space all up on its completion. The masterplan will also have 110,000 sqm of parklands and a 2.5-kilometre foreshore.
Located just 3.5 kilometres from the CBD, Burswood Point is envisioned as a "city within a city," transforming Perth with a new lifestyle and entertainment hub. It is the largest mixed-use urban development Perth has ever seen.
Over $200 million of site works have been completed and construction of the two Somerset towers will commence in Q1 2025.
