Chapman Gardens, one of the most popular off the plan projects in the $1 billion redevelopment of the Hills Showground Precinct in Castle Hill, is offering a handful of rare terraces as part of its release.

Shant Van Kolck, Head of Sales and Marketing at developer CG, has already sold 70 per cent of the terraces in the stage one release, with the majority of buyers coming from the local area.

Downsizers and upgraders have shown the most interest in the terraces so far as stage two follows suit, with strong interest shown in the two and three-bedroom apartments and terraces. 

"The terraces offer something completely different to what's available in the local area," Van Kolck says.

There are four configurations on offer in the terrace release; two-bedroom, two-bedroom plus study, three-bedroom and three-bedroom plus study, featuring multiple designs, with majority being on-off opening out to private courtyards.

"The differing floorplans and style designs make the terraces stand out," Van Kolck adds.

"Not only is Chapman Gardens one of the only terrace or townhome offering in the area, even if more are to be developed in the future, every buyer at Chapman Gardens will be at home with their own unique residence."

Space and size is a major focal point in Chapman Gardens, with floor-to-ceiling windows invite ample natural sunlight into every terrace. More cupboard space in the kitchens has also been allocated, creating a more substantial and practical living arrangement. The bathrooms also include a separate shower and bathtub, which Van Kolck says is quite a rare offering within new developments these days. 

"A majority of apartments and terraces include the stock standard shower/bath combo. Without compromising on space, Chapman Gardens features both in the main-bathrooms, which we've seen really appeals to the downsizer market," Van Kolck says.

"Another major benefit buyers will see at Chapman Gardens is the fact we've appointed an on-site builder who will be around for two years after construction wraps up. So if there's any maintenance, or general building questions residents have, they'll be able to go straight to his door and organise a plan of action straight away." 

Similar benefits have already been seen throughout the construction process, Van Kolck says, with the head builder on-site everyday able to execute and action design and building changes straight away.

A trio of award-winning professionals have come together for the Showground Precinct project.

CG Group engaged PTW for the designs, with the development taking up a unique park fronting site overlooking what will be the 6,000 sqm Chapman Reserve.

"Currently the park sits at 2,000 sqm, but it will further developed to be more expansive and spacious," Van Kolck says.

"50 per cent of the development is allocated toward gardens and with no shadow diagram required, every residence in Chapman Gardens will receive double the sunlight compared to others."

Stage one of Chapman Gardens is tipped to settle early next year, with stage two following on in early 2024.
