Latent Defects Insurance and Sydney Metro drives buyers to Infinity Park, Norwest

The importance of 10-year Latent Defects Insurance was not lost on first home buyers Mason Davis and his partner Chloe, who recently secured an apartment at Infinity Park in Norwest, which came with the sought-after insurance policy offered by Resilience Insurance.

The couple found it “hugely reassuring” compared to other new developments. It is the only project in the area offering a 10-year policy that protects purchasers from any structural or waterproofing defects for 10 years post-completion of the building.

Developer Haitchin Group is approaching completion of the 290-apartment development.

Robert Tasevski, General Manager at Haitchin Group, says they are seeing buyers place a high value on certainty, certainty of build quality, certainty of delivery timeframes and certainty around what they’re buying into.

“Being able to offer a 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, alongside a project that is nearing completion, provides a level of reassurance that’s increasingly important for first-time purchasers.”

Another key driver in Mason and Chloe’s purchase was the proximity to Norwest Metro, which they called a “game-changer” for living in Norwest.

“The extended Sydney Metro Line is a game-changer for the area, providing greater and faster connectivity from Norwest to the CBD,” Davis said. “The reduced commute times to the CBD and other major business hubs have made Norwest highly attractive from an investment perspective. People can now get to Sydney’s CBD in just over 30 minutes, which for those who rent or live here is important for work-life balance.”

PRD Norwest Director David Inkster noted that several buyer types, what he describes as ‘investor-occupiers’ like Mason and Chloe, those who invest now and plan to live in the apartment in later years, have been securing apartments based on forecasts of capital growth in properties surrounding Metro stations.

“We’re seeing a growing cohort of buyers who are happy to invest now with the intention of living in the apartment later,” Inkster said. “The Metro has fundamentally changed how people view Norwest, reduced commute times and improved connectivity are driving stronger long-term confidence in the area.”

Recent research supports this view, with data indicating that apartments located along the North West Metro Line have outperformed comparable suburbs over the past decade. Improved transport connectivity has been a key driver, alongside population growth and increasing demand for higher-density housing near stations.

Construction of the 290-unit development by Haitchin Group is approaching completion, and will welcome buyers in mid-2026.

When completed, Infinity Park will comprise three residential buildings: the 25-storey Marque tower and two low-rise buildings, Alpha and Omega, delivering a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses.

The development also includes a seven-storey commercial building opposite the residential precinct, featuring strata commercial suites and a rooftop dining venue by chef Joshua Mason.

The residential precinct has been designed by Turner, with a focus on larger apartment formats and shared amenities intended to support long-term occupancy. A resort-style lagoon pool, extensive landscaping, rooftop gardens and communal spaces form the centre of the development, positioning Infinity Park as a lifestyle-led residential offering within Norwest’s evolving town centre.
