North West Sydney

National property developers, WST Property Group has announced the acquisition of a 30.9-hectare site, located at 10-32 Terry Rd Box Hill in the heart of Sydney’s thriving North West growth corridor.&nbsp;

The acquisition is the latest addition to WST Property Group’s master planned communities, with a current pipeline ranging from light industrial to business park and greenfield residential, to retail town centres, with Managing Director, Krenalin Moodley speaking to the thriving nature of Sydney’s North West.&nbsp;

“This is an exciting opportunity for WST to develop quality dwellings for Sydney’s Northwest and to deliver our vision of quality for our customers via master planned communities. The North West is thriving and we believe this project provides a wonderful opportunity for first home buyers and families looking to purchase their own homes,” Moodley said.&nbsp;

The land was sold through Knight Frank, with Head of Investment Sales, Grant Bulpett saying it was one of the largest remaining residential development parcels in northwestern Sydney.&nbsp;

“The sale result underlines the value of Northwestern Sydney as a strong and diverse community and a great place to live, with Box Hill a key emerging precinct with incoming amenities including a hospital and educational facilities,” Bulpett said.&nbsp;

As a result of the rarity of the land parcel, Knight Frank’s Director of Investment Sales , Mark Litwin said the campaign attracted interest from a range of buyers, both locally and internationally, including private family offices in Singapore.&nbsp;

“This is a significant sale in the current macroeconomic environment, demonstrating that there is buyer interest in larger residential sites, particularly in light of the fact that there is still a chronic housing undersupply in Sydney which will lead to stronger demand for homes in the future,” Litwin said.&nbsp;

Located 42 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, the Box Hill site is adjacent to the new Box Hill City Centre and located just a short drive from the Hills of Carmel Shopping Village. In direct proximity to a wealth of public and private healthcare, the location provides easy access to Blacktown Hospital and the future (under development) Rouse Hill Regional Hospital.

The site also falls within proximity to a number of green and open spaces, including Rouse Hill Regional Park, Windsor Beach, Hawkesbury River and Scheyville National Park, while families who take up a parcel of land will be within a short drive to schools, preschools and day care facilities.&nbsp;

For commuters, Rouse Hill Metro and Tallawong Metro stations are located within easy reach of the project, with both stations connecting to the existing Epping to Chatswood railway line, with an extension to the CBD expected to be complete by 2024. Further enhancing transport networks, the Northconnex Tunnel connects the M1 Pacific Motorway at Wahroonga with the M2 Motorway at West Pennant Hills.&nbsp;

Recognised as a rural area on the outskirts of Sydney, Box Hill is rapidly transitioning to an ideal residential area as part of Sydney’s North West growth corridor. Box Hill’s population is forecast to increase 4.6 per cent by 2031 with the majority of growth driven by being part of the North West Growth Corridor.&nbsp;

The suburb is undergoing rezoning from RU2 Rural Landscape to a range of urban zones under the Standard Instrument Template, allowing for retail and commercial development within one town centre and three villages, provision of power, water and sewer infrastructure, and local services.&nbsp;

“Our goal is to deliver our vision of quality master planned communities to our customers that provide a wonderful opportunity for families and first time home buyers looking to purchase homes in locations that offer a range of lifestyle amenities, are close to transport, education and healthcare facilities, and of course, offer affordability,” Moodley said.&nbsp;

“For the WST team, this acquisition is an important part of our future and growth strategy, that allows us to continue our credible, track record of creating and delivering projects that make a positive contribution to the community.”

McCall Community Foundation previously owned the 30.9-hectare parcel, agreeing to sell the surplus land to future proof its work for the next 20 to 50 years. The Foundation will retain 4.74-hectares of land for its existing community facilities and operations, in addition to expanding the depth and breadth of the services it currently provides to the disabled community in the area.&nbsp;

The 30.9 hectare Box Hill site is set to only bolster the group’s already immersive portfolio of masterplanned communities.

WST Property Group acquire 30.9-hectare site in Sydney’s North West

Integrated property investor and developer, Cbus Property, has officially launched its residential mixed-use development, The Langston, to the community in Epping. 
&nbsp; 
Cbus Property’s Chair, Georgina Lynch, and CEO, Adrian Pozzo, were joined by the Lord Mayor of the City of Parramatta Councillor Donna Davis, and other key stakeholders in the official launch to open the project’s public plaza and introduce the community to the dynamic retail precinct.

With construction group Hutchinson Builders commencing ground works on the precinct back in January 2019, on the site of Epping’s former Westpac Credit Card Services building, the project’s completion marks the conclusion of a momentous journey that began when Cbus Property acquired The Langston site in 2014.

Located in the heart of Epping, between Langston Place and Chambers Court, The Langston features 462 residences across three towers of 29, 24 and 19-storeys, known as Langston Tower, Central and Oasis.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6074 project_image_fid=197596]

The ready-to-move-in residences are priced from $590,000, with one and two-bedroom apartments still available.&nbsp;

The new community is now home to more than 1,000 people, who are enjoying an unrivalled lifestyle courtesy of the project’s extensive amenity offering, including the Sky Lounge and dining space on level 22 of The Langston’s middle tower, Central, in addition to lush podium-level gardens, the Wellness Hub and co-working spaces.

Pozzo said the achievement of practical completion at The Langston was a significant milestone for Cbus Property.

“The delivery of this project has been a resounding success for all stakeholders,” he said.

“A big thank you to Hutchinson Builders, our stakeholders and our construction workforce for rising to the challenges faced by our communities throughout the past few years. Major projects of this calibre always have their challenges. However, I am pleased to say our team expertly navigated the pandemic-related lockdowns and ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19 during the complex construction phase to achieve this outstanding result.

The official opening of the precinct was also celebrated with the second occurrence of The Langston Weekender festival, which followed the inaugural festival held in 2018, prior to construction commencement.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6074 project_image_fid=197590]

More than 5,000 visitors attended the event, transforming The Langston’s public domain for a day of family-friendly fun, featuring market stalls, art, music, dancing and entertainment.

The event also supported The Langston’s new retail operators, including the on-site supermarket Mint Fresh IGA, fitness club operators Team Bros, City Cave Float and Wellness Centre and new local cafe, Brew Bar.

Pozzo said he was delighted to welcome Epping locals and the wider Sydney community back to The Langston.

“We have certainly been on a long journey since we first held The Langston Weekender back in 2018 and we enjoyed showing people and celebrating how much the precinct has transformed in the intervening years,” he said.

“The idea behind the first iteration of this event was to help people conceptualise the future lifestyle and retail offering at The Langston, so it was incredibly rewarding to be able to showcase the completed project in person.”
