Abadeen appoint Decode for two of its Lower North Shore apartment projects

Ellipse Property's $850 million Carrington Place masterplan in Castle Hill has recently kicked off with the launch of its first stage, Atrium, which will be the gateway to what will be one of the area's greenest communities when completed in 2032.

There's been a wide range of purchasers since the first 151 apartments were launched in the project back in October.

A recent buyer was&nbsp;Lauren Spencer-Salt, a primary school teacher at St Andrew’s Primary School in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/quakers-hill-nsw">Quakers Hill</a>. She secured one of the&nbsp;larger-sized two-bedroom apartments in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/carrington-place-36-carrington-road-castle-hill">Carrington Place</a>.

Lauren said she researched various projects in the area including the likes of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/rouse-hill-nsw">Rouse Hill</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/kellyville-nsw">Kellyville</a>, Quakers Hill and The Ponds, before ultimately selecting Carrington Place.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216768]

She said the interior design was a really important factor.

“I wanted a layout where I had a bigger living area. I wanted open-plan living," Lauren said.

“When I went to Carrington Place, not only were the size of apartments larger, because I bought an oversized two bedroom with a study and a family room, all of the upgrades offered were already included. It had everything I wanted."

The apartment came with Miele appliances as standard and feature wooden floors.&nbsp;Lauren said the only addition was&nbsp;sheer curtains because she said it brings light into the interior room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216765]

"I was particularly drawn to the project's neutral palette and luxurious finishes, which allows buyers to imbue their living spaces with their own style and personality. There was also a huge array of apartment configurations or layout options to choose from which other surrounding projects just didn’t offer."

Situated directly opposite the Hills Showground Station, Carrington Place stood out due to its thoughtful design and the developer's reputation for excellence and reliability.

The vibrant community, coupled with its proximity to transport links, development of the Showgrounds precinct with new cafes, restaurants and shops coming, made Castle Hill the perfect choice for her forever home.

"I’m going to have a lifestyle and I know all the upgrades, what they are doing at the Showground, cafes and shops and to know that I’m amongst and apart of that," Lauren added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216764]

Another factor in the purchase was the integration of the natural landscape from Cattai Creek, creating a&nbsp;harmonious living environment.&nbsp; Additionally, the precinct will feature over 20,000 square metres of recreational space, making it one of the greenest master-planned communities in the Hills district.

Ellipse Property’s Head of Development, Nigel Farquhar said it is nice to see purchasers like Lauren realising their dream of homeownership at Carrington Place and really buying into the vision they're creating.

“We are so delighted to see buyers so happy with the quality, location and service,” he said.

“We believe one of the greatest attributes of Atrium is being part of a master-planned community – a sense of neighbourhood that connects well-designed natural internal landscaped amenity with the Cattai Creek future nature walk.&nbsp;

“The project boasts a broad range of unique floor plans, curved architecture with superior quality finishes and many larger-sized apartments that gives people a strong sense of home with the Metro Line on their doorstep”.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216768]

Carrington Place's first residential stage, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/atrium-at-carrington-place-40-42-ashford-avenue-castle-hill">Atrium</a>, offers 151 apartments within a mid-rise eight-storey building, boasting rooftop recreational spaces with stunning views of the surrounding landscape and Cattai Creek.

&nbsp;

The Hills Shire Council has a 30-year vision for the redevelopment and revitalisation of the Castle Hill Showground Precinct, located directly opposite the Carrington Place project, planned to create a new 15-hectare entertainment and recreation hub including a variety of community, arts, sporting and leisure activities. The iconic Showground site will become the primary civic space for a new precinct of the future local Hills communities.&nbsp;

Located directly opposite the Hills Showground Metro Station, residents of Carrington Place will have access to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a>’s CBD, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/chatswood-nsw">Chatswood</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/north-sydney-nsw">North Sydney</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/macquarie-park-nsw">Macquarie Park</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/norwest-nsw">Norwest</a> Business Park. With trains operating every four minutes in peak hour in each direction, residents are offered the highest convenience on Australia’s first driverless railway.&nbsp;

Construction is planned to commence imminently by iCIRT-rated builder Decode, with Stage One Atrium due for completion in Q4 2025. The entire five-stage precinct is due for completion in 2032.

Why I bought an apartment in Castle Hill's $850 million masterplan, Carrington Place

The term unrepeatable is often a term bandied around when talking about some of Sydney’s finest trophy homes that line the harbour in Point Piper. Unrepeatable for their views of Sydney’s finest landmarks, their access to the water, and the fact the land they sit on can not be recreated.

What prominent property developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/twt-property-group">TWT Property Group</a> has put together in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-developments/pyrmont-nsw">Pyrmont</a> is equally unrepeatable, with their Grande Pyrmont Bay Estate boasting arguably some of the most grandiose house proportions, unrivalled in an inner-city, harbourside suburb.

Almost unfair to call them terraces given their size, the 11 residences that made up Grande Pyrmont were built to the highest standards by iCIRT-rated builder Decode Group in late 2020. A few months later the development won the 2021 Best Low-Rise Residential Development Awards at the Urban Taskforce Development Excellence Awards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139957 project_image_fid=251027]

Urban was recently invited on a tour of one of the final two homes in Grande Pyrmont, The Manor, one of the most impressive homes in the collection. What was immediately obvious, and surprising, was the size and scale of the home, in an area known typically for tight terraces houses. It has 1,170 sqm of internal space, not including the 230 sqm of outdoor terraces and balconies, nor the parking for two cars.

Purposefully unassuming from the front to blend into the 1800s Pyrmont character facades that make the harbourside suburb a historian’s dream, access to the terrace development from Harris Street is through a modest sandstone entry. Of course there’s also direct access from the car park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139957 project_image_fid=251047]

In keeping with their commitment to preserve heritage and create something which balances legacy with contemporary, the entry lobby to Grande Pyrmont Bay features a mini museum, with artefacts recovered during the excavation phase of the development. There’s spoons and plates that date back to the 1800s. The excavation also uncovered yellow sandstone, which heritage expert Troy Stratti said will have been there for 200 million years.

On the wall of the lobby is also a timeline, from when the Gadigal aboriginal people inhabited the site as the traditional custodians, to now.

While essentially set just one street back from Harris Street, the terraces have been cleverly designed to block out any noise. Even the extensive outdoor space is more tranquil than traffic. The ground floor, which is the main entertaining level, features a soaring double-height void to one of the upper levels, creating a grand sense of space. Adjoining the living room, which has a striking fireplace, is a luxury bar area, a cinema room, and a sauna and a cellar.

This level opens to the main outdoor entertaining space, complete with outdoor entertaining area, barbecue kitchen, and a swimming pool, set amid landscaping and an elevated viewing-like deck with views across to Barangaroo.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139957 project_image_fid=251043]

Up the sculptural staircase, or lift, to even more impressive views to Barangaroo and Darling Harbour. Here there’s another living area, three guest bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room.

The staircase continues to the yet another living level which homes a lounge, adjoining kitchen,&nbsp;complete with Calacatta Blanco Marble and a butlers pantry as large as most regular kitchens, and a dedicated dining space.

Up another level and there's yet another lounge area, as well as a&nbsp;home office which is positioned at the front of the terrace to take in the extensive views. Two further bedrooms sit privately on this level.

Crowning the home is a 148 sqm whole floor master suite, the sixth bedroom, which comprises an ensuite with a freestanding sculpted bath, and a walk-through wardrobe with dressing room and vanity. Its most impressive feature is the private terrace, complete with a spa and views of the whole of Barangaroo and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139957 project_image_fid=251034]

The commercial grade lift by Kleemann Atlas runs through each of the seven levels, all the way from the top level master suite to the basement level which is ensconced with towering original sandstone, cliff-like walls.&nbsp;

This space has been left empty so a purchaser can use it however they wish. Some have created an ultimate man cave, which are more common in converted garages rather than in a space which actually resembles a cave. A large enough space for a full wellness zone rather than a typical home gym, some of the potential uses discussed can be a wine tasting room, a golf simulator, or a huge private cinema.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/grande-71c-harris-street-pyrmont">The Manor at Grande Pyrmont Bay</a> is seeking $23 million and is ready to move in. The option to keep the styled, custom furniture by Coco Republic, is an added extra.

Grande Pyrmont: Unrepeatable mansions in the heart of the Sydney Harbour

Prominent Cronulla developer Sammut Group has kicked off construction at its highly anticipated mixed-use development, VUE.

VUE, a transformational project on a 5225 sqm site at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/vue-3-23-kingsway-cronulla">3-23 Kingsway</a>, is set over two eight-storey buildings over a double-storey podium. The development will include 112 apartments, 880 sqm of commercial space and 3000 sqm of retail space including Harris Farm Markets.

The $350 million mixed-use project, to be delivered with venture capital partner Alceon Group, marks a significant milestone for Cronulla, representing the first urban renewal development since Northies Hotel in 1999.

The project is due for completion by late 2025.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106933 project_image_fid=253675]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> Chief Executive Officer Allen Sammut said VUE is set to enhance Cronulla’s coastal identity and future-proof the area for years to come.

“We believe in respecting the history of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/cronulla-nsw">Cronulla</a> while steering it towards a thriving future,”&nbsp;Allen said.

“VUE demonstrates our commitment to preserving the community’s spirit while introducing enhancements that will benefit residents and locals alike.

It’s not about changing what we know and love, it’s about enhancing the area’s unique qualities.”

As Sammut Group’s largest project to date, VUE has attracted a diverse mix of interest with 30 apartments snapped up pre-launch and all one-bedroom apartments are sold out. The overall of the buyer mix has been from&nbsp;local professionals, downsizers and first home buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106933 project_image_fid=253677]

The 112 apartments are made up of 25 one-bedroom and 30 two-bedroom apartments, the latter starting from $2,115,000. the 51 three-bed units start from $3,215,000. There are just six three and four-bedroom penthouses.

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a>, the project has a resort-style feel featuring a large communal terrace with a pavilion and pool, sauna and open-air gym located at podium level, while street-level landscaping and upgrades to the public domain will bring new vitality to the daily experience of the area.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106933 project_image_fid=253676]

Vue Cronulla will be delivered by multi-award-winning, iCIRT-rated construction firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/vue-3-23-kingsway-cronulla">Decode</a>, who is responsible for more than 33 projects across the full spectrum of sectors including the landmark mixed-use project Burwood Grand, which was recently awarded the 2023 Urban Taskforce Best Mixed-Use Development Award.

Decode Founder and Chairman Sam El Rihani said his team is excited to deliver an iconic project for Cronulla.

“We are honoured to be entrusted with the delivery of VUE, a project that is set to redefine Cronulla’s Northern Gateway and contribute to the area’s transformation,” El Rihani said.

“Sammut Group continues to set the bar for design excellence and VUE is evidence of that, with beautiful architecture and considered design that will benefit the residents and the local community.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106933 project_image_fid=253679]

The project sits 500 metres from another major Sammut Group development, PARC, a commercial building and hospitality venue PARC Pavilion which Sammut Group will operate in partnership with leading hospitality group Feros Group.

Sammut Group Chief Operating Officer Julian Sammut said he is thrilled to see the momentum for two significant Sammut Group projects.

“With our PARC development progressing and construction now kicking off at VUE, our vision to ‘bookend’ Cronulla Mall with the highest level of design quality is soon to become a reality,” Julian said.

“We’re excited to see these two very significant projects generate vibrancy and buzz for the area.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106933 project_image_fid=253678]

Sammut Group has sold 80 per cent of the commercial suites to locals keen to secure convenient modern office space and continues to field strong enquiries from speciality food and beverage operators looking to neighbour the flagship Harris Farm Markets.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/project-marketer/highland-project-marketing">Highland</a> CEO David Highland said the strong interest in the residential, retail and commercial spaces at VUE demonstrates the local appetite for a modern and fresh development in a desirable location.

“We’ve seen a consistent flow of enquiries and sales across all components of the development, with locals eager to live or work at VUE and enhance their quality of life,”&nbsp;Highland said.

“To see strong interest in the commercial and retail spaces two years out from the project completion shows how in demand this location is.

“With Sammut Group’s project portfolio predominantly located in Cronulla, prospective buyers and tenants can see Sammut Group’s commitment to elevate the area through its developments, consistently setting out to deliver high-quality spaces with the signature coastal-luxury style.”

Located at<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/carrington-place-36-carrington-road-castle-hill"> 40-42 Ashford Avenue</a>, opposite the Hills Showgrounds Metro Station and in the heart of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/castle-hill-nsw">Castle Hill</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/carrington-place-36-carrington-road-castle-hill">Carrington Place</a> will comprise 771 apartments across five eight to 12 storey buildings.

The first stage, Atrium, will comprise&nbsp;152 apartments within one mid-rise eight storey building with a rooftop recreational space that provides views of the surrounding landscape.

Atrium is expected to complete in Q4 2025.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216768]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a> appointed Decode to complete the construction of the project earlier this year in September. Two adjacent residential houses will be demolished as part of the demolition works with construction due to commence in Q1 2024.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a> Associate Director Puja Khanna said <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a>, together with its builder partner Decode, is tremendously excited to start demolition on its landmark project, Carrington Place.&nbsp;

“Today marks a significant milestone for our entire team as we embark on the construction program of our most significant project to date Carrington Place. It’s a major undertaking for our company and a project that has drawn on the expertise and specialisations of a team of market leading consultants, architects, planners, engineers and builders.”&nbsp;

“As the largest residential project in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/castle-hill-nsw">Castle Hill</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a> is delighted to be delivering such a significant multi-staged, game-changing project for the local Hills community, a major component of the transformation and evolution of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/castle-hill-nsw">Castle Hill</a>.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216770]

Having only recently launched in October, Carrington Place saw strong demand from local buyers looking for quality, larger-sized apartments and confidence in the developer/ builder.

“Immersed in nature and designed in keeping with the natural flow of the Cattai Creek, Carrington Place will set a new benchmark for modern living featuring the most premium, house-sized apartments in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/castle-hill-nsw">Castle Hill</a>,” Khanna added.

Award-winning iCIRT-rated construction company, Decode, is in charge of the construction.

Decode won the 2023 Urban Taskforce Development Excellence Award in the Mixed-Use Development category for the construction of its Burwood Grand residential project in Sydney’s inner west earlier this year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216765]

Decode also was one of the first 20 construction companies to receive a gold star iCIRT rating by the Office of the NSW Building Commissioner in May 2022. The company was in the very first group of companies to receive this rating.&nbsp;

Providing an unbiased and independent review of an organisation, an iCIRT rating is obtained through a thorough assessment of all aspects of a business, aimed at building transparency in the industry and trust with the Australian families and individuals looking to buy-off-plan.&nbsp;

NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler said: “The Decode journey aligns with Construct NSW. The industry is starting to get on board with the massive reforms and Decode is a leader as one of the first 20 movers into the iCIRT rating space. And the great thing about leadership is people always remember who went across the finish line first.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216764]

Designed by award winning architectural firms Tony Owen Partners in collaboration with Stanisic Architects, Carrington Place has been bespoke designed to immerse with its surrounding natural landscapes.

Uniquely, the precinct will be home to over 20,000 square metres of outdoor recreational space and lush gardens, conceived by landscape architect, Site Image Landscape Architects, making it one of the greenest master-planned communities in the Hills District.&nbsp;

A key feature of the project will be a one-kilometre boardwalk running the length of the Cattai Creek connecting to Fred Caterson Reserve, a 58-hectare local reserve featuring picnic tables, children’s playgrounds, along with multiple sports facilities.&nbsp;

Demolition commences at Castle Hill's largest residential development, Carrington Place

The top 16 Sydney off the plan apartment developers to look out for in 2024

Ellipse Property Group will launch sales of Atrium, the first stage of its $850 million Castle Hill masterplanned community, Carrington Place.

Atrium comprises 151 apartments in one mid-rise eight-storey building which forms the gateway to the Carrington Place precinct and offers rooftop recreational spaces with views over the whole of the development.

The precinct will also be home to over 20,000 sqm of recreational space including outdoor gyms and wellness areas as well as lush gardens, conceived by landscape architect, Site Image Landscape Architects, making it one of the greenest masterplanned communities in the Hills district.

The prime development site, which is the largest residential project in Castle Hill, spans around 3.2 hectares.

PRD Norwest Director David Inkster, who is managing sales for the project, says the team have seen a strong response from local downsizers, young families, first home purchasers and upgraders looking for larger-sized apartments.

“Atrium's multi-staged development is poised for consistent price increases, anticipated significant appreciation by the project's scheduled completion date Q3 2025," Inkster said.

“Apartments surrounding Metro Stations are predicted to outperform similar projects in neighbouring suburbs by up to 20 percent recent research has shown. As the premium suburb in the Hills District, Castle Hill is poised to see the lion’s share of that uplift."

Once completed, the masterplanned community, Carrington Place will comprise 771 apartments built across five, eight to 12-storey buildings.

Carrington Place Project Director Joe Chiha said the generously-sized apartments are designed to provide ample space for residents’ needs and offer a level of comfort and luxury unrivalled in Castle Hill.

The buildings have been sensitively designed by Tony Owen Partners and Stanisic Architects to immerse with its surrounding natural landscapes while complementing the curve of the tranquil Cattai Creek which runs along the western border of the development.

A key feature of the project will be a one-kilometre boardwalk running the length of the Cattai Creek connecting to Fred Caterson Reserve, a 58-hectare local reserve featuring picnic tables, children’s playgrounds, along with multiple sports facilities.

Ellipse Property Associate Director Puja Khanna said&nbsp;Carrington Place is envisioned as a multi-staged urban village with a strong connection to nature, prioritizing lifestyle, sustainability, and community.

"The project seamlessly blends with the surrounding nature and aims to become one of Sydney's most sustainable urban communities,"&nbsp;Khanna said.

Castle Hill residents are currently witnessing the gradual and dramatic transformation of the popular Hills suburb into a modern, cosmopolitan and dynamic urban centre.

The Hills Shire Council has a 30-year vision for the redevelopment and revitalisation of the Castle Hill Showground Precinct, located directly opposite the Carrington Place project, planned to create a new 15-hectare entertainment and recreation hub including a variety of community, arts, sporting and leisure activities.

The Showground site will become the primary civic space for a new precinct of the future local Hills communities. Located directly opposite The Hills Showground Metro Station, residents of Carrington Place will have access to Sydney’s CBD, Chatswood, North Sydney, Macquarie Park and Norwest Business Park. With trains operating every four minutes in peak hour in each direction, residents are offered the highest convenience on Australia’s first driverless railway.

Construction is planned to commence before Christmas later this year with Stage One Atrium due for completion in Q3 2025. The entire five-stage precinct is due for completion in 2032.

The $350 million urban renewal project, to be delivered with venture capital partner Alceon Group, is expected to be completed by 2025.

Sammut Group Chief Executive Officer Allen Sammut says the decision to partner with Decode for the construction of VUE was based on its outstanding reputation and commitment to delivery.

“The appointment of Decode as our building partner for VUE is a significant milestone for this landmark development, particularly as we’re about to commence demolition on site,” Sammut says.

OFSC and ISO accredited, Decode was also one of the first 20 businesses to receive a Gold Star iCIRT rating in 2022.

Decode Founder and Chairman Sam El Rihani says his team is excited to partner with Sammut Group to add a new star to the heart of Cronulla with this iconic project.&nbsp;

‘We are delighted to be working with the prestigious Sammut Group who have already proven to be an efficient and cooperative partner, making it a joy to realise our shared vision for VUE Cronulla,” El Rihani says.

“Decode’s mission is to deliver excellence in construction and by joining forces with Sammut Group who have an extensive track record of creating superb residential solutions in Sydney’s South, we are confident that Vue will be the new crown jewel of Cronulla.

“VUE is a truly unique building with its striking facade and coastal design. We are excited to deliver a landmark luxury building of this scale and see it set the bar for modern living and quality design in South Sydney.”

Designed by PBD Architects with interiors by Mim Design, VUE apartments feature natural material and Sammut Group’s signature sculptural forms, in keeping with the coastal nature of the location.

Residents of the new apartments will have access to resort-style facilities including a north-facing pool, a large communal terrace with a pavilion, poolside day beds, sauna and open-air gym complete with breakout spaces for a range of activities.

“With our proven track record delivering high-quality developments in Cronulla, there is strong confidence in the Sammut Group product. With the appointment of Decode and demolition soon underway, we expect to see strong interest in VUE.”
