Mason & Main

Buyers at Coronation Property's Merrylands project, Mason &amp; Main, are set to benefit from a huge pipeline of infrastructure due to the project's location in the heart of the 6000-hectare Greater Parramatta to Olympic Peninsula (GPOP) corridor.

Mason &amp; Main, designed by Woods Bagot, will be its own mini-community with apartments set above vibrant market-style laneways with retail and dining, is set just south of Parramatta in Merrylands, which has transformed into a gentrified hotspot that is appealing both investors and owner-occupiers due to a mix of strong population growth an extensive infrastructure upgrades around Sydney’s west.

Mason &amp; Main offers one, two and three-bedroom apartment configurations across five buildings, as well as resort-style amenities including a pool, private gym and rooftop gardens and a vibrant ‘Eat Street’, creating a new destination for the suburb.

There’s some $20 billion of investment and infrastructure planned over the next five years in the GPOP, fast emerging as the heart of Greater Sydney’s Central City. Merrylands has seen significant investment, with the Cumberland City Council announcing in 2021 the creation of a new civic square in the heart of the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160999]

The $11 million project currently under construction will provide an integrated residential, retail, commercial and commuter hub to Merrylands and will be conveniently located within 50 metres of Mason &amp; Main.

Already Sydney’s western hub has seen a dramatic change with the redevelopment of Parramatta Square which saw the heart of Parramatta revitalised as part of one of the largest urban renewal projects in the country.

The $2.7 billion redevelopment included six new buildings, premium office space, a refurbished town hall, multi-level retail, with the site linked by 6000 sqm of public space.

Bringing Parramatta Quay to life is Charles Street Square

The ferry terminal at Charles Street is the gateway to the Parramatta CBD for those who travel by boat, by foot or by bike along the river, in what will be known in the near future as, Parramatta Quay.

The area is also a place of cultural and geographical significance, as the fresh water of the upper Parramatta meets the saltwater of the lower reaches, connecting Sydney to Parramatta River.

The completed escarpment boardwalk provides connection from one side of the river to the other, with the pedestrian and cycle friendly thoroughfare extending under the MacArthur Street Bridge, joining to Parramatta River Cycle way, providing more than 100 kilometres of walking and cycling paths, extending all the way to Sydney Olympic Park.

The Parramatta Ferry terminal upgrade is complete and once the Charles Street Square upgrade is finished the area will become a confluence of leisure activity, cafe culture and transportation hub celebrating one of the City's special waterway experiences welcoming tens of thousands of visitors and commuters each year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161007]

Construction of the Charles Street Square upgrade is slated to be complete by the end of 2022 or early 2023.

The Sydney Metro West project is also underway, with the new underground metro railway set to connect the Parramatta and Sydney CBDs. The NSW Government committed $6.4 billion over four years to the project, which will achieve a travel time of 20 minutes, as well as unlocking housing supply and employment growth between the two CBDs.

With trains, buses and ferries connecting the Parramatta CBD with Sydney and the wider metropolitan area, the council also runs a free shuttle bus around the Parramatta CBD for those wanting to stay close by.

Further connection will be provided through the development of the Parramatta Light Rail. Stage One of the project will run 12 kilometres, connecting Parramatta CBD to Westmead and Carlingford. Stage One will be operational in 2023.&nbsp;

The Parramatta CBD is also well-connected to major arterials, including the M4 Motorway, Great Western Highway, Windsor Road, Pennant Hills Road and James Ruse Drive.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161009]

A new Museum of Arts and Applied Sciences will open on the river foreshore in Parramatta in 2025 as the new centre of arts, culture and innovation. It will include the newly relocated Powerhouse Museum and a revamped Riverside Theatres.

Further boosting the areas growth is the soon to be developed Western Sydney Aerotropolis, which is set to give Western Sydney residents a more convenient option for travel and boost overall population growth.

Sydney’s new airport is set to open to international, domestic and freight flights in 2026, providing much-needed aviation capacity for the entire Sydney region.

Designed to grow in stages and over decades, the Airport will eventually become one of the biggest gateways to Australia and the primary airport for the entire Sydney region. Qantas Group and Virgin Australia Group have signed MOUs with the Airport and have already commenced discussions about the design of the Airport and potential routes and services.&nbsp;

With the Westmead precinct Australia’s largest health and biomedical research precinct, the site is also undergoing revision with four hospitals, two universities, two large research institutes, NSW’s largest pathology service, and many allied health centres currently occupying the space.

With NSW Health, the City of Parramatta Council jointly commissioned the Westmead Innovation District Master Plan project.&nbsp; The project includes aspirational targets for jobs and tertiary students, driven by the significant government investment planned for the area.&nbsp;

The Merrylands lifestyle precinct in Parramatta's growing Olympic Peninsula corridor

Prominent Australian developer and builders, Coronation Property has announced its continued expansion into Sydney&rsquo;s inner-city ring with the acquisition of a $200 million mixed-use development site in Chatswood.

Located at 57-61 Archer Street, the site sits in the centre of the suburb and across the road from key amenities including Westfield Chatswood and Chatswood Chase. It&#39;s also just&nbsp;a 10-minute walk to Chatswood Station.

Coronation Property will utilise the connected site to deliver a mixed-use precinct with around 2,000 sqm of retail space and 130 residential dwellings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

Head of Urban Transformations at Coronation Property, Aras Labutis said the acquisition represents an important milestone for the company as they continue to focus on mixed-use sites around Sydney.

&ldquo;The Chatswood site presented a unique opportunity for Corontion Property to contribute to what we see as one of Sydney&rsquo;s fastest-growing precincts. With the State and Willoughby Councils committed to further developing Chatswood as a major employment and residential hub, we are excited to respond to the demand for more housing in the area and build upon an already highly sought-after community.&rdquo;

&ldquo;The site is in an ideal location, in a blue-chip area that is currently experiencing extensive investment into its town centre and the surrounding infrastructure. These factors will drive further growth in the area and make Chatswood an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers and investors,&rdquo; Labutis added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193243]

Over the last five years, the Council has been in talks with the Chatswood community, developing a strategy to grow the town centre as a major employment hub and a vibrant residential precinct.

Coronation Property&rsquo;s project will tie into the overarching vision to enhance Chatswood&rsquo;s evolving growth strategy, with the group intending to work closely with both the State and Willoughby Council throughout the citywide rezoning process.

&ldquo;The new development represents a continuation of Coronation Property&rsquo;s strategy to focus on transformative placemaking and aspirational inner-city residential projects,&rdquo; said Labutis.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161007]

The Chatswood project further solidifies the group&rsquo;s already robust development pipeline, which currently has over $5.2 billion in major mixed-use projects, including the underway 8 Phillip Street in Paramatta development, Charlie Parker in Harris Park, Mason &amp; Main in Merrylands, Ashbury Terraces in Ashbury and Moore Point in Liverpool.

Construction for the Chatswood site is set to commence in 12 to 18 months, pending development approval.

Mason &amp; Main is set to become one of Western Sydney&rsquo;s most thriving hubs, intentionally designed in collaboration with the multi-award-winning architects from Woods Bagot as a new town centre for Merrylands.

Its prime location on Merrylands Road is perfectly positioned between Sydney&rsquo;s two CBDs, just five-minutes from Parramatta and a 25-minute drive to Sydney&rsquo;s CBD.

With an exciting pipeline of new infrastructure on the horizon for the area it&rsquo;s no wonder the yet to be completed&nbsp;development has already hit over 60 per cent sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

Demand for property in Merrylands remains strong as the area has seen significant investments in infrastructure and continued community development.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re seeing strong interest from first-home buyers wanting to get a foot into the competitive property market. The amenity on offer at Mason &amp; Main is unlike anything else currently on offer in the area which has garnered strong interest from the local demographic priced out of Parramatta,&quot; said&nbsp;Cameron Porter, Head of Sales and&nbsp;Marketing at Coronation.&nbsp;

Cumberland City Council have long publicised their commitment to urban transformation and connectivity between Merrylands and Parramatta CBDs. The significant investment in infrastructure around Merrylands and its strong projected population growth of 1.36 per cent&nbsp;by 2036, guarantees a&nbsp;positive future for the suburb making it a lucrative investment opportunity.

$11 million has been invested into the development of Merrylands Civic Square, which is expected to be complete by 2023. Located just 50-meters from Mason &amp; Main, this will be a new hub for businesses and residents to come together, enhancing the sense of community in the already vibrant suburb. Merrylands Civic Square will also be a great connection to Mason &amp; Main&rsquo;s Eat Street, further enriching the value of the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160996]

$2.4 billion has been injected into the Parramatta Light Rail, significantly improving public transport options and connectivity across the Western Suburbs, allowing people to move more efficiently through surrounding areas like Carlingford, Westmead, Sydney Olympic Park and Strathfield.

This project will cement Parramatta as Sydney&rsquo;s second CBD, positioning Merrylands as a promising location for people seeking first-class apartments and amenity close Parramatta&rsquo;s CBD, with completion expected for around 2023.

$12 billion has also been put toward the Sydney Metro West, which is expected to be complete by 2030. The new underground railway will create greater connectivity between Western Sydney and the Sydney CBD, and generate thousands of new jobs for Western Sydney. As Merrylands Train Station connects with Parramatta and Sydney CBDs, travel time between the central business districts will be heavily reduced.

The Powerhouse Museum Parramatta is a $840 million project which will see the new Museum reside on the Parramatta River. Set to become a tourist and community hub for arts and culture, Mason &amp; Main residents will sit just 15 minutes-drive away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160998]

With so much expected for the future, a number of projects around the area have already been completed, including the $2.7 billion Parramatta Square. As one of the largest urban renewal projects in the country, the Parramatta Square redevelopment offers premium grade office spaces, a multi-level retail podium, and civic facilities to entice people to the area, positioning itself as a thriving hub for businesses and individuals.

$1 billion redevelopment of Westmead Hospital has also been completed. As Australia&rsquo;s largest medical precinct, the Westmead Health and Medical Research Precinct redevelopment plans are a major boost for the area, while the expansion also bodes well for Mason &amp; Main residents as an investment opportunity by adding lasting value and long-term housing demand to the area.

A newly built Western Sydney University has recently opened nearby to Mason &amp; Main, with the campus in the heart of Bankstown. Western Sydney University (WSU) partnered with Walker Corporation to deliver the $340 million campus, triggering the creation of hundreds of new jobs in the surrounding suburbs, as well as another top-line education option for Mason &amp; Main residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160999]

Offering a mix of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom configurations starting from $394,00, the residences have piqued the interest of investors with the forecast average rental return of over four per cent, along with the unique design, high quality finishes, promising location and adaptability of the apartments.
