Not quite Italianate Bosco in Five Dock slated for 2017 completion

Apartment development Bosco, from EG Funds Management, is a $130 million project with a Mediterranean style that borders on Italianate, but with a contemporary approach.

Bosco, which translates to ‘woodland’ in Italian, will include 152 one, two and three bedroom apartments and terraces with parking in Five Dock, nine kilometres from Sydney CBD.

Designed by Bates Smart, the apartments will include balcony rooms and views of Canada Bay, with striking sandstone, terracotta and chocolate Roman brick.

Apartment prices start from $600,000 for one bedroom offerings. There are 51 available, with one car space, ranging from 53 to 87 square metres.

The 74 two bedroom offerings, with one car space, will start from $760,000, spanning 70 to 90 square metres.

The largest apartments, 95 square metres to 107 square metres, are the 14 three bedroom two car park units from $1,100,000.

While those looking for the highest end offering could consider the three bedroom terraces, with two car parks, spanning 119 to 137 square metres. These range upwards of $1,350,000.

The VIP launch of the development will be later this month, on October 25. Completion of the development is expected in mid-2017.

Communal facilities include perimeter landscaping, with fig screen building canopies from the surrounding trees, pedestrian pathways and a central courtyard garden.

The development is being marketed through CBRE.
