Dural

The Sydney-based developer Image Property Developments has been given the green light to push&nbsp;ahead with stage one of their $85 million gateway development in the popular suburb of Dural, in Sydney&#39;s Hills District.

The Hills Shire Council granted a &#39;deferred development consent&rsquo; for the first stage of Skyline Dural, a gateway development at 488 Old Northern Road Dural, Round Corner.

Skyline Dural will see a number of apartments and townhouses developed in the second and third stages, a rarity for the suburb which is littered with sprawling mansions on acreages. The second and third stages are yet to be lodged to the local council.

The first stage will see a two-storey retail and commercial building developed, with views to the Blue Mountains, as well as a public plaza.

The building will include a supermarket and retail outlets including specialty stores and restaurants, giving buyers in the latter stages already established amenity on their doorstep.

The frontage to Old Northern Road will see large road improvement, with two lanes each way, a new bus layback, new traffic lights, and dedicated turn lanes.

Part of AUS&nbsp;Group, Image Property Developments&nbsp;are currently developing The Bond in Norwest, in partnership with Mulpha, which is set for completion in 2022.

Chris Paunescu, of CHRISP Consulting, who is project managing the design on behalf of Image Property Developments said the apartments and townhouses will offer quality lifestyle options that are much needed in the area.

&ldquo;The tri level designer townhomes (with optional elevators), spacious apartments with rooftop terraces and exclusive restaurants extending the public plaza are part of stages two and three,&quot;&nbsp;Paunescu said.

&ldquo;The investment in improving transport infrastructure at the southern entry to Dural village, particularly with the intersection, will improve traffic flow significantly.&rdquo;

&ldquo;Image Property Developments are locals to the area and are committed to creating a vibrant lifestyle hub for Round Corner Dural, with quality shopping, hospitality and commercial facilities, providing a place to live, meet, dine, and shop all with unobstructed views to the Blue Mountains.&quot;

“Dural’s average age is currently 43 years with projections for population growth in the 65-84 age group to increase by 95 per cent by 2036 which further highlights the requirements for quality seniors living and aged care housing in the local district,” said Henry Burke, National Director, Development Sites at Colliers International.

We expect interest from a range of potential buyers including residential developers, aged care and seniors living operators and developers,” said Eugene White, Director, Development Sites at Colliers International
“The DA approval provides the purchaser with multiple staging opportunities and the mix of houses, villas, apartments and aged care rooms will appeal to a wide buying audience for the end product,” said Guillaume Volz, National Director, Development Sites at Colliers International.
