Deicorp, NSW Premier to officially open Showground Village, Castle Hill’s new retail and hospitality hub
Sydney developer Deicorp is set to officially open its Showground Village precinct in Castle Hill.
NSW Premier Chris Minns will attend the opening on Sunday August 31, alongside Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully, The Hills Shire Council Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne, Landcom CEO Alex Wendler, and Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri.
There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony before a tour of the newly opened retail precinct.
Located just moments from Hills Showground Metro Station, the centre spans 9,500 sqm across four levels and features 26 specialty retailers as well as a 1,400 sqm public plaza, creating a new community meeting point for shopping, dining, fitness, and everyday convenience.
The grand opening will be celebrated with a family fun day, featuring free entertainment, children’s activities, and a Skill Tester Machine with guaranteed prizes ranging from Woolworths gift cards to a $5,000 Flight Centre voucher.
Showground Village forms part of the Hills Showground Station Precinct, an urban renewal initiative led by Landcom and Sydney Metro that will provide for around 2,300 new jobs over the next 20 years and around 9,000 new homes.
Deicorp was recently approved for another new development next door to Showground Village.
The new five residential buildings in the East Showgrounds Precinct, will see another 873 dwellings delivered, as well as 3,500 sqm of open public space in the form of landscaped courtyards, a public park and communal outdoor recreational space including a playground, barbeque area, and outdoor seating.
“This approval will allow us to start construction on a range of beautifully designed, conveniently located apartments and create another vibrant, walkable and well-connected community,” said Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri.
“These new homes will provide their residents with a seamless connection to jobs and services along Metro North West, and the new Hills Showground Village retail precinct currently under construction."
Deicorp has several thousand apartments in planning and under construction across Sydney, from Zetland and Five Dock to Crows Nest and Macquarie Park.
