Highline Westmead

The Sydney developer Deicorp have topped out Highline, the first stage of their&nbsp;Greater Western Sydney project Westmead Rise.

Highline,&nbsp;inspired by&nbsp;New York&#39;s famous 1.45-mile-long elevated linear park The High Line, has been designed by the multi-award winning architects Turner Studio.

There will be 556 studio, one, two and three bedrooms across the five buildings. Residents are expected to move in by August.

There&#39;s been a strong uptake so far from staff from the local Westmead hospital, as well as those keen on the new transport infrastructure in construction neatby.

First home buyers have also shown interest, trying to get the foot on the ladder.&nbsp;

Deicorp&rsquo;s founder and managing director Fouad Deiri said Highline is&nbsp;the best-connected project ever built by Deicorp.

&ldquo;To be on the doorstep of the new Light Rail, the existing Westmead Train Station and the new Metro Station will ensure this project is hugely popular,&quot; Deiri said.

&quot;Combine this convenience with being right in the heart of the biggest medical, health and education precinct in Australia,&nbsp;and Highline will be sought after for years to come.&rdquo;

Turner Studio said Highline&nbsp;looks at providing a mix of architectural styles to the precinct allowing for a varied street scape.

&quot;The design of each building maximise views and outlook, to either the adjacent Lot 1 heritage building and associated lawns, the reserve between Lots 4 &amp; 5, and the substantial district views towards Parramatta CBD to the east and the Blue Mountains to the west,&quot; Turner Studio advise on their website.

The one bedroom apartments are priced from $545,000, two bedders from $690,000 and three bedroom apartments from $1,035,000.

Each will have kitchen featuring stone benchtops and will be kitted out with Smeg appliances.

Most apartments will have a study or a multi-purpose room.

Highline will feature resort-style&nbsp;facilities including a pool with sundecks and cabanas, barbecue and dining area and a function room.

HIGHLINE WESTMEAD&nbsp;AT A GLANCE

Developer: <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>

Architect: <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/turner">TURNER</a>

Location:&nbsp;160 Hawkesbury Road, Westmead, NSW

Number of apartments: 556

Construction slated for completion: 2020

The development spans across three residential towers, centred around a swimming&nbsp;pool, with meandering leafy pathways and verdant greenery. Highline Westmead places a strong focus on resident amenity, with a string of resort-style facilities available to residents throughout the precinct.

Developer Deicorp’s goal was to create year-round holiday living, realised through all aspects of the design, from the spacious entertainer’s balconies to the poolside cabanas.

THE DESIGN

Inspired by the New York High Line – the project&nbsp;aims to disrupt traditional urban living with a focus on the simplicity and elegance of nature. The vision for the project has been designed by award-winning architecture firm Turner Studio, who have opted for exterior brickwork to reflect the adjacent heritage buildings, juxtaposed with soaring glass planes for a modern aesthetic.

THE RESIDENCES

The display suite mirrors the interior renders, with glossy stainless-steel fixtures, full-height glazing, soft woollen carpet and stone benchtops –&nbsp;which goes to show the benefit of visiting a display suite in person.

Highline’s New York theme is also represented within the apartment interiors, with a selection of Soho or Manhattan material palettes replicating&nbsp;traditional light and dark schemes. Highline kitchens&nbsp;feature clean lines and timeless style with reputable brand appliances and extensive storage in each home. The attention to detail shows the design team have thoughtfully curated apartments which are practical and built-to-last.

Apartment bedrooms are spacious and light-filled, with expansive glazing for plenty of natural light, and generous&nbsp;built-in wardrobes. Two- and three-bedroom apartments also feature adjoining ensuites with each master bedroom.

Each home’s main bathroom includes sophisticated LED lighting, a mirrored wall vanity, combined shower over bath, and a separate laundry.

LOCATION

Intelligent positioning of the development makes the most of the area’s elevated vantage point, meaning residents will enjoy outlooks of landscaped gardens, the majestic Blue Mountains, idyllic Parramatta park and river vistas, or vibrant cityscapes.

Highline Westmead is&nbsp;close to trains, a new light rail service (opening 2023), and within walking distance to many local amenities. Both public and private Westmead hospitals are nearby and scheduled to undergo a $1 million expansion. Families will&nbsp;appreciate the convenience of both Catherine McAuley and Marist Brothers schools within walking distance from the development. A brand-new innovation quarter proposed by the University of Western Sydney and Charter Hall will also reside opposite Highline Westmead. This precinct will dedicate&nbsp;43,000 square metres to&nbsp;research centres, commercial spaces and retail outlets.
