Sekisui House selling The Orchards, Baulkham Hills

Developer Sekisui House has sold two penthouses at its project in Sydney's north-west, The Orchards, in the first-stage sales launch of the Baulkham Hill apartment project on the weekend.

The two top floor penthouses will be 178 square metres, each having four bedrooms.

They sold for $2 million and $2.2 million to the same buyer in the first stage of the project, which will comprise 121 apartments across two buildings. 

The Orchards, set 500 metres from a new metro station and 250 metres from Norwest Business Park, has commenced construction on the seven-stage project.

It will yield 1300 apartments when completed in 2018, just prior to the completion of the metro line.

It purchased the Baulkham Hills site from developer Tony Merhi last year for $210 million.
