The most elevated residential tower in Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/corallo-palm-beach-5-palm-beach-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Corallo</a>, has officially launched this week, however only a handful of buyers will have an opportunity to buy in to the 17-storey project.

The $200 million mixed-use project includes ground floor dining and retail and is considered so valuable its developer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a>, will be staging its release of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses to the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=806]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International, Director, David Higgins, said the development’s location just metres from the beach on the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway influenced the sculptural design by the acclaimed Plus Architecture studio.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> locals understand the rare opportunity here at Corallo, particularly being the tallest building in the suburb and its proximity to the beach and local restaurants, and they’ve represented the bulk of pre-launch enquiries,” Higgins said.

“The orientation of the apartments captures views of the coastline from Surfers Paradise to Currumbin, and the diversity of floor plans and apartment types provide an exceptional level of choice.

“The first release includes just 59 one-, two and three-bedroom apartments and two half-floor penthouses, with flexible use designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

In addition to the ground floor amenity, residents will also have access to a private dedicated wellness level offering 734 sqm of resort-style amenities including a pool, cold plunge, wet deck, steam room, sauna, gym, day bed, fire pit, barbecue area, dining area and yoga/stretch deck.

The project is located within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Higgins said Palm Beach remained a hotly contested suburb for home buyers, with prices doubling in the past five years.

“What makes Corallo so appealing to the local market is the diversity of apartment types and pricing, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $841,000 and two-bedroom apartments starting from $1.34 million,” he said.

“The ground floor retail and dining offering will further expand on Palm Beach’s village atmosphere and create a meeting place for locals, and those opportunities for connection are highly valued.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=807]

The on-site sales display, which includes a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be open until early works commence in Q1 2026. Each residence at Corallo will feature premium finishes including natural stone, artisanal brickwork, and warm copper accents.

Changfa Group has a two-decade history of delivering premium developments in Australia and internationally, having recently completed its collection of premium townhomes at Lyra, Hope Island, as well as apartment projects in Leichhardt, Carlingford, and Chatswood in New South Wales.

$200 million Corallo Palm Beach launches with limited apartment release

In a move that aligns with NSW's accelerated planning incentives for affordable housing, developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">One Collection</a> has revised its Hills District apartment plans, and taken it to the NSW Government, to secure approval.

The developer, which is currently delivering Horizon Hurstville, is seeking to add 80 more apartments to its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-castle-hill-16-dawes-avenue-nsw-2154">Castle Hill development</a> near Castle Towers. They already have approval for 280 apartments across eight six-storey buildings.

<img alt="One Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c298ba-1cc5-4db7-9872-607c75f8ceca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wN9KpFIu5ENSGZLLsaZgXQHrXcwEO3Vd" />

Now on the desks of the NSW Department of Planning is 360 apartments, 48 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;Affordable housing is to be “fully integrated within the building and visually indistinguishable,” according to the planning submission.

The 15,697 sqm block, an amalgamation of 16 sites, spans across Dawes Avenue, Hughes Avenue, and Camdan Crescent, sits 550m from Hills Showground Metro Station.&nbsp;

"The existing context is quickly changing from free-standing homes into residential flat buildings in line with the Hills Showground Precinct planning framework," Place Studio noted.

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ec24948-c185-48fa-af8b-ed25adf302bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zNDX.IeRROX1RlDeYcS38xn8w_dqgU2t" />

They said the design was informed by the site's unique condition of having three street frontages and was developed to to respond sensitively to iots surrounding context.

"The design adopted a conventional perpendicular alignment to the primary street frontage. The massing of the development was carefully modulated to align with the evolving character of the neighbourhood. The design ensured that the scale was not excessive or out of context, but instead contributed to a cohesive urban form consistent with emerging developments in the area."

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83ffdaa-f960-469d-b6fe-abcece57c9ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4oKlCyfaKes7jLi1_EMoqa46w2h_YvDZ" />

The apartment mix will be 46 one-beds, 168 two-bed apartments, and 146 three-bedroom units, with 631 parking spaces proposed.

Along the street frontages, the building heights are four storeys with a 7.5 metre setback, and eight storeys with an 11.5 metre setback. It should cost about $150 million to build.

One Collection works hand-in-hand with the respected development and construction firm Masscon, which has built a reputation for leveraging its expertise in the built environment to take on developments others can't. That's what they're achieving at Horizon Hurstville, having taken over the project to deliver it.

At Yarra’s Edge, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>’s newest tower under construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trielle-at-yarra-s-edge-docklands-16-point-park-crescent-docklands-vic-3008">Trielle</a>, sets a new benchmark for elevated living. Rising 45 storeys, 12.5 metres from the Yarra River, the landmark building offers residents access to a private wellness retreat and spa, a resident-only golf simulator, and an elegant lounge, dining and bar complete with a self-playing piano, all without ever having to leave home.

Now, that sense of elevation has reached new heights with the Aerus Sub-Penthouses, a limited release of half-floor riverfront residences on the Collins St axis where the sought-after street meets the Yarra River.

Each Aerus Sub-Penthouse, located across levels 42 and 43, represents the most expansive offering within Trielle, aside from the yet-to-be-revealed crowning penthouses. Spanning between 269 and 301 sqm, these residences are designed to capture natural light and uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3784]

Among the collection are three-bedroom sub penthouses, complemented by a media room, and expansive four-bedroom layouts. All include panoramic living areas and oversized master suites with luxury ensuites reminiscent of a five-star hotel, complemented by dedicated dressing rooms finished in timber and natural stone.

The interiors have been crafted by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mirvac-design">Mirvac Design</a>, the developer’s award-winning in-house architecture and design team. Every material has been chosen for quality and longevity, from sculpted stone island benches with feature soft wash LED lighting to bespoke joinery and chevron timber oak flooring.

Kitchens are fitted with a BORA induction cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor, alongside Gaggenau appliances, including a fridge, freezer, and wine fridge. The adjoining butler’s pantry incorporates the exclusive Gaggenau Minimalistic Series including oven, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine and warming drawer, all concealed behind handleless glass panels for a clean, integrated presentation. Bathrooms feature custom Apaisar freestanding baths and basins and natural stone benchtops, continuing Mirvac’s design emphasis on tactile, timeless materials.&nbsp;

<img alt="Trielle at Yarra's Edge, Docklands" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c00be724-b0f1-47c0-afed-54f829870704" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aerus%20sub-penthouse.png?VersionId=Uktd61kpLSqNjwJeDFs7IaZ3xgLlDQmu" />

Michael Wiener, Design Director at Mirvac, says The Aerus Sub-Penthouse embodies the apex of Mirvac’s design ethos.

“Moving through your home is like walking on air - a private sanctuary where the craftsmanship is refined, the proportions generous, and the flow so effortless, you feel completely at ease in the sky,” Wiener says.

“In Aerus, we wanted to create a sense of weightlessness - a home that feels suspended in the skyline, full of light, grounded in luxury.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3777]

The Aerus Sub-Penthouses are expected to attract a mix of local and international buyers seeking a long-term residence of scale and quality in a riverfront setting, from returning expats to established families and business owners who value privacy, craftsmanship, and convenience within walking distance of the CBD.

With an unmatched suite of amenities, Trielle is the most extensively appointed development Mirvac has created to date at Yarra’s Edge. Within the tower will be The Oasis, a 900 sqm podium rooftop wellness retreat designed in collaboration with spa expert Naomi Gregory. Located seven storeys above the Yarra River promenade, it features a 25-metre lap pool, spa and sauna, hot magnesium spa, biophilic gym, yoga and Pilates studio, cold-pail contrast treatment, and day spa treatment rooms. Further amenities include a piano lounge, bookable dining room, cinema room, golf simulator studio, games room, teppanyaki bar, dog wash bay, and two flexible work hubs, The Biblioteca library and Mills Place office space, catering to residents’ evolving lifestyle needs.

Construction of the $350 million tower is underway through Mirvac’s in-house construction arm, with completion anticipated for mid-2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a>’s De Burgh, the final residential release within the Northbourne Village precinct in Lyneham, is nearing completion just as the Federal Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme prepares for its most significant expansion to date.&nbsp;

From October 2025, the scheme will allow first home buyers to enter the market with just a five per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), removing some of the most common barriers to ownership.

With <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a> on track for residents to move in by late spring 2025, the timing creates a strong opportunity for first home buyers seeking brand-new apartments in Canberra’s sought-after Inner North.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

The project delivers 350 residences across two buildings, with layouts ranging from compact studios through to one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

JWLand has tailored the development for long-term liveability, integrating natural light, privacy and outdoor space into each home. Ground-floor residences feature private courtyards, while upper levels benefit from generous balconies.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and all apartments include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with smartphone app control for lighting and climate.&nbsp;

Shared resident facilities include a rooftop garden, gym, lounge and parcel lockers, alongside landscaped green space within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=267376]

For buyers, the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme removes income caps and introduces unlimited places, making it more accessible than ever. With most De Burgh apartments priced under $1 million, they fall well within the updated eligibility thresholds.

The policy changes provide first home buyers with greater certainty and a smoother path to finance. Combined with the quality and location of De Burgh, the expanded scheme is expected to draw a new wave of buyers to Canberra’s Inner North.

Residents will benefit from the project’s central setting, just 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD. The precinct is bordered by the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands and sits within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, schools and the ANU.

With completion scheduled for late 2025, De Burgh is set to be among the first major apartment projects to meet the expanded scheme head-on, offering first-time buyers a realistic pathway to ownership in one of Canberra’s most connected neighbourhoods.

JWLand’s De Burgh aligns with expanded Homebuyer Scheme, opening doors for first home buyers in Canberra’s Inner North

A subtropical pair of residential towers are in planning for a key South Brisbane site neighbouring the iconic Expo ’88 Skyneedle, with new documents revealing a vertically layered vision designed to respond to the precinct’s evolving high-density character.

The proposal has been lodged by&nbsp;Darveniza Group, which is also is behind the 400-apartment Station Quarter precinct in Alderley.

Darveniza Group, led by Jane Darveniza, the Brisbane-based investor and Queensland rich-lister and widow of the late property magnate Bojan Darveniza, is seeking approval for a mixed-use project encompassing 204 apartments, ground-level retail, food and drink tenancies, and office space across two architecturally integrated towers at 37–39 Manning Street.

Occupying an 1,822 sqm site, the proposed towers would rise above a sculptural podium base, with a recessed landscaped centre, rooftop communal areas, and a total of 220 car parks and 256 bicycle bays. The apartment mix spans one- to five-bedroom dwellings, with a design emphasis on generous balconies, cross-ventilation, and climate-responsive materials.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="42c1f501-2afd-440b-af49-67c257123ea7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20podium.png?VersionId=KFlksfWzmDRD.VIYxd_1q3VAel.nN3TH" />

“The development is conceived as two slender twin buildings that meet at a lushly landscaped central recess,” the Finegrain design report states. “The façade is highly articulated with the plan form stepping back and forth to reduce visual bulk and maximise internal occupants’ access to natural light and air”.

A hallmark of the proposal is its integration of greenery, both visually and functionally. Around 77 per cent of the site’s green plot ratio is delivered through vertical planting spines, a green podium wall, and rooftop amenity. Ground-level deep planting and landscaped communal zones aim to create a shaded, walkable interface along Manning Street.

“The stepped plan form introduces variation in balcony setbacks and enclosed apartment areas, enriching both the façade expression and the resident experience,” the design team notes. “At ground and podium levels, this stepping also enhances permeability, maximising pedestrian view lines to the neighbouring Skyneedle and reinforcing a strong sense of local identity”.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3f26dfc-6b93-465c-9ffb-0a2530372a23" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20site.png?VersionId=JflvKdqDxcaHTFbb9HL5TwoiRgeQ2LqA" />

The site directly adjoins the heritage-listed Skyneedle at 35 Manning Street, an enduring legacy of World Expo ’88. The accompanying heritage impact report by Pendergast Architects contends that the proposal has been carefully conceived to protect the cultural significance and landmark visibility of the structure.

“The design provides setbacks, tower separation and podium articulation to maintain the visibility and landmark role of the adjoining Skyneedle,” the report states. “The significance of the Skyneedle lies principally in its landmark visibility and cultural symbolism, rather than in detailed fabric or architectural setting”.

The proposal sits within the Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct, under Brisbane’s TLPI 02/2023, where revised planning controls support high-density, mixed-use development integrated with subtropical design and increased public realm contributions.

Finegrain’s design reflects this intent, drawing cues from the site's adjacency to Musgrave Park, the subtropical landscape of South Brisbane, and cultural landmarks such as QPAC and South Bank.

Mason & Main

Buyers at Coronation Property's Merrylands project, Mason &amp; Main, are set to benefit from a huge pipeline of infrastructure due to the project's location in the heart of the 6000-hectare Greater Parramatta to Olympic Peninsula (GPOP) corridor.

Mason &amp; Main, designed by Woods Bagot, will be its own mini-community with apartments set above vibrant market-style laneways with retail and dining, is set just south of Parramatta in Merrylands, which has transformed into a gentrified hotspot that is appealing both investors and owner-occupiers due to a mix of strong population growth an extensive infrastructure upgrades around Sydney’s west.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

Mason &amp; Main offers one, two and three-bedroom apartment configurations across five buildings, as well as resort-style amenities including a pool, private gym and rooftop gardens and a vibrant ‘Eat Street’, creating a new destination for the suburb.

There’s some $20 billion of investment and infrastructure planned over the next five years in the GPOP, fast emerging as the heart of Greater Sydney’s Central City. Merrylands has seen significant investment, with the Cumberland City Council announcing in 2021 the creation of a new civic square in the heart of the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160999]

The $11 million project currently under construction will provide an integrated residential, retail, commercial and commuter hub to Merrylands and will be conveniently located within 50 metres of Mason &amp; Main.

Already Sydney’s western hub has seen a dramatic change with the redevelopment of Parramatta Square which saw the heart of Parramatta revitalised as part of one of the largest urban renewal projects in the country.

The $2.7 billion redevelopment included six new buildings, premium office space, a refurbished town hall, multi-level retail, with the site linked by 6000 sqm of public space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161017]

Bringing Parramatta Quay to life is Charles Street Square

The ferry terminal at Charles Street is the gateway to the Parramatta CBD for those who travel by boat, by foot or by bike along the river, in what will be known in the near future as, Parramatta Quay.

The area is also a place of cultural and geographical significance, as the fresh water of the upper Parramatta meets the saltwater of the lower reaches, connecting Sydney to Parramatta River.

The completed escarpment boardwalk provides connection from one side of the river to the other, with the pedestrian and cycle friendly thoroughfare extending under the MacArthur Street Bridge, joining to Parramatta River Cycle way, providing more than 100 kilometres of walking and cycling paths, extending all the way to Sydney Olympic Park.

The Parramatta Ferry terminal upgrade is complete and once the Charles Street Square upgrade is finished the area will become a confluence of leisure activity, cafe culture and transportation hub celebrating one of the City's special waterway experiences welcoming tens of thousands of visitors and commuters each year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161007]

Construction of the Charles Street Square upgrade is slated to be complete by the end of 2022 or early 2023.

The Sydney Metro West project is also underway, with the new underground metro railway set to connect the Parramatta and Sydney CBDs. The NSW Government committed $6.4 billion over four years to the project, which will achieve a travel time of 20 minutes, as well as unlocking housing supply and employment growth between the two CBDs.

With trains, buses and ferries connecting the Parramatta CBD with Sydney and the wider metropolitan area, the council also runs a free shuttle bus around the Parramatta CBD for those wanting to stay close by.

Further connection will be provided through the development of the Parramatta Light Rail. Stage One of the project will run 12 kilometres, connecting Parramatta CBD to Westmead and Carlingford. Stage One will be operational in 2023.&nbsp;

The Parramatta CBD is also well-connected to major arterials, including the M4 Motorway, Great Western Highway, Windsor Road, Pennant Hills Road and James Ruse Drive.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161009]

A new Museum of Arts and Applied Sciences will open on the river foreshore in Parramatta in 2025 as the new centre of arts, culture and innovation. It will include the newly relocated Powerhouse Museum and a revamped Riverside Theatres.

Further boosting the areas growth is the soon to be developed Western Sydney Aerotropolis, which is set to give Western Sydney residents a more convenient option for travel and boost overall population growth.

Sydney’s new airport is set to open to international, domestic and freight flights in 2026, providing much-needed aviation capacity for the entire Sydney region.

Designed to grow in stages and over decades, the Airport will eventually become one of the biggest gateways to Australia and the primary airport for the entire Sydney region. Qantas Group and Virgin Australia Group have signed MOUs with the Airport and have already commenced discussions about the design of the Airport and potential routes and services.&nbsp;

With the Westmead precinct Australia’s largest health and biomedical research precinct, the site is also undergoing revision with four hospitals, two universities, two large research institutes, NSW’s largest pathology service, and many allied health centres currently occupying the space.

With NSW Health, the City of Parramatta Council jointly commissioned the Westmead Innovation District Master Plan project.&nbsp; The project includes aspirational targets for jobs and tertiary students, driven by the significant government investment planned for the area.&nbsp;

The Merrylands lifestyle precinct in Parramatta's growing Olympic Peninsula corridor

Prominent Australian developer and builders, Coronation Property has announced its continued expansion into Sydney&rsquo;s inner-city ring with the acquisition of a $200 million mixed-use development site in Chatswood.

Located at 57-61 Archer Street, the site sits in the centre of the suburb and across the road from key amenities including Westfield Chatswood and Chatswood Chase. It&#39;s also just&nbsp;a 10-minute walk to Chatswood Station.

Coronation Property will utilise the connected site to deliver a mixed-use precinct with around 2,000 sqm of retail space and 130 residential dwellings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

Head of Urban Transformations at Coronation Property, Aras Labutis said the acquisition represents an important milestone for the company as they continue to focus on mixed-use sites around Sydney.

&ldquo;The Chatswood site presented a unique opportunity for Corontion Property to contribute to what we see as one of Sydney&rsquo;s fastest-growing precincts. With the State and Willoughby Councils committed to further developing Chatswood as a major employment and residential hub, we are excited to respond to the demand for more housing in the area and build upon an already highly sought-after community.&rdquo;

&ldquo;The site is in an ideal location, in a blue-chip area that is currently experiencing extensive investment into its town centre and the surrounding infrastructure. These factors will drive further growth in the area and make Chatswood an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers and investors,&rdquo; Labutis added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193243]

Over the last five years, the Council has been in talks with the Chatswood community, developing a strategy to grow the town centre as a major employment hub and a vibrant residential precinct.

Coronation Property&rsquo;s project will tie into the overarching vision to enhance Chatswood&rsquo;s evolving growth strategy, with the group intending to work closely with both the State and Willoughby Council throughout the citywide rezoning process.

&ldquo;The new development represents a continuation of Coronation Property&rsquo;s strategy to focus on transformative placemaking and aspirational inner-city residential projects,&rdquo; said Labutis.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161007]

The Chatswood project further solidifies the group&rsquo;s already robust development pipeline, which currently has over $5.2 billion in major mixed-use projects, including the underway 8 Phillip Street in Paramatta development, Charlie Parker in Harris Park, Mason &amp; Main in Merrylands, Ashbury Terraces in Ashbury and Moore Point in Liverpool.

Construction for the Chatswood site is set to commence in 12 to 18 months, pending development approval.

Mason &amp; Main is set to become one of Western Sydney&rsquo;s most thriving hubs, intentionally designed in collaboration with the multi-award-winning architects from Woods Bagot as a new town centre for Merrylands.

Its prime location on Merrylands Road is perfectly positioned between Sydney&rsquo;s two CBDs, just five-minutes from Parramatta and a 25-minute drive to Sydney&rsquo;s CBD.

With an exciting pipeline of new infrastructure on the horizon for the area it&rsquo;s no wonder the yet to be completed&nbsp;development has already hit over 60 per cent sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

Demand for property in Merrylands remains strong as the area has seen significant investments in infrastructure and continued community development.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re seeing strong interest from first-home buyers wanting to get a foot into the competitive property market. The amenity on offer at Mason &amp; Main is unlike anything else currently on offer in the area which has garnered strong interest from the local demographic priced out of Parramatta,&quot; said&nbsp;Cameron Porter, Head of Sales and&nbsp;Marketing at Coronation.&nbsp;

Cumberland City Council have long publicised their commitment to urban transformation and connectivity between Merrylands and Parramatta CBDs. The significant investment in infrastructure around Merrylands and its strong projected population growth of 1.36 per cent&nbsp;by 2036, guarantees a&nbsp;positive future for the suburb making it a lucrative investment opportunity.

$11 million has been invested into the development of Merrylands Civic Square, which is expected to be complete by 2023. Located just 50-meters from Mason &amp; Main, this will be a new hub for businesses and residents to come together, enhancing the sense of community in the already vibrant suburb. Merrylands Civic Square will also be a great connection to Mason &amp; Main&rsquo;s Eat Street, further enriching the value of the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160996]

$2.4 billion has been injected into the Parramatta Light Rail, significantly improving public transport options and connectivity across the Western Suburbs, allowing people to move more efficiently through surrounding areas like Carlingford, Westmead, Sydney Olympic Park and Strathfield.

This project will cement Parramatta as Sydney&rsquo;s second CBD, positioning Merrylands as a promising location for people seeking first-class apartments and amenity close Parramatta&rsquo;s CBD, with completion expected for around 2023.

$12 billion has also been put toward the Sydney Metro West, which is expected to be complete by 2030. The new underground railway will create greater connectivity between Western Sydney and the Sydney CBD, and generate thousands of new jobs for Western Sydney. As Merrylands Train Station connects with Parramatta and Sydney CBDs, travel time between the central business districts will be heavily reduced.

The Powerhouse Museum Parramatta is a $840 million project which will see the new Museum reside on the Parramatta River. Set to become a tourist and community hub for arts and culture, Mason &amp; Main residents will sit just 15 minutes-drive away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160998]

With so much expected for the future, a number of projects around the area have already been completed, including the $2.7 billion Parramatta Square. As one of the largest urban renewal projects in the country, the Parramatta Square redevelopment offers premium grade office spaces, a multi-level retail podium, and civic facilities to entice people to the area, positioning itself as a thriving hub for businesses and individuals.

$1 billion redevelopment of Westmead Hospital has also been completed. As Australia&rsquo;s largest medical precinct, the Westmead Health and Medical Research Precinct redevelopment plans are a major boost for the area, while the expansion also bodes well for Mason &amp; Main residents as an investment opportunity by adding lasting value and long-term housing demand to the area.

A newly built Western Sydney University has recently opened nearby to Mason &amp; Main, with the campus in the heart of Bankstown. Western Sydney University (WSU) partnered with Walker Corporation to deliver the $340 million campus, triggering the creation of hundreds of new jobs in the surrounding suburbs, as well as another top-line education option for Mason &amp; Main residents.
