Growth slated for Auburn with shopping centre redevelopment greenlit
Infrastructure developments, both public or private, always drive demand to the suburb in questions. And with increased demand comes price growth.
Auburn, a small multicultural suburb on the fringe of the Parramatta CBD, looks set to become the next Western Sydney hotspot for significant uplift. This momentum follows the NSW Government’s approval to redevelop Auburn Village—the central shopping precinct adjacent to the train station.
The proposed mixed-use development will feature three new residential towers comprising 359 apartments, above a fully redeveloped commercial and retail precinct that includes hospitality venues and a new public plaza.
The project is being hailed as a cornerstone in Auburn’s transformation into a connected, amenity-rich urban centre.
Cumberland Council’s planning framework has been pivotal in shaping the redevelopment. By promoting affordable housing and integrated mixed-use precincts, the council is actively fostering diversity, sustainability, and accessibility—all key drivers of growing interest in the surrounding residential areas.
Set to benefit from the lifestyle uplift brought by the upgraded transport hub and retail offering—as well as the expected appreciation in property values—are purchasers in North Village, the newly launched stage of Auburn Square by developer Tian An LFD.
Following the successful sell-out of stage one across the road, Tian An recently launched North Village to strong demand, with 25 per cent of apartments sold at the public launch.
Ray White WS Projects Managing Director Mark Bernberg said interest in North Village is being fuelled by its central location, trusted delivery partners, and standout buyer protections.
Designed by acclaimed architecture firm Rothelowman, the development will deliver 264 smart-tech enabled one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, along with a suite of resident amenities including a gym, cinema, and rooftop garden. A Coles supermarket will anchor the ground-floor retail space.
North Village, currently under construction by iCIRT-rated builder Binah, is expected to be completed by late 2027. It is also the only new development in Auburn to offer the highly sought-after 10-year Latent Defects Insurance, protecting purchasers against structural and waterproofing defects for a full decade after completion.
