Why Mulpha's Norwest development Haven was a hit for downsizers and empty nesters

Downsizers, empty nesters and families moving to the area have been the dominant buyers in Mulpha Australia's Norwest apartment development Haven.

Haven, completed in late 2018 at 2 Natura Rise in the Hills District suburb around 35km north-west of Sydney, saw a number of its apartments taken by those looking to downsize but keen for a good-size apartment.

Haven's floor plans suited the demand, with one bed apartments spanning up to 60 sqm internally, with an extra 11 sqm to 33 sqm externally. 

Each of the 11 one bedroom apartments in the development of 80 are sold out. There are just five two bedroom apartments for sale, priced from $925,000. They start from 77 sqm and can reach 112 sqm internally. 

There are three three bedroom apartments left, which can span nearly 150 sqm. They can be secured between $1,045,000 to $1.09 million.

Each apartment features Caesarstone benchtops, Miele appliances and Parisi tapware.

There's a fresh launch of the last remaining penthouse, one of four, which is for sale at $2,595,000. The two level apartment with its own private lift features a wide outdoor balcony with district views. It has four balconies in total, as well as three bedrooms and a media room.

Architect Krikis Tayler designed Haven which has interiors by SJB Interiors. Haven was landscaper Site Image Landscape Architects.

“The architectural vision was to create a variety of luxury apartments with a high level of amenity catering for the needs of contemporary life," Nick Tayler of Krikis Tayler Architects said.

"The building incorporates a large variety of apartment types and sizes designed to cater for an equally wide variety of resident’s needs.”

Tim Spencer, Mulpha Norwest general manager, said the family and community lifestyle development has been designed to encourage a healthy, active lifestyle offering a heated swimming pool, on site gym, bike sharing facility and beautifully landscaped walkways throughout.

“Haven is a premium example of a modern community that provides all the lifestyle and security demanded by the ever increasingly sophisticated owner,” Mr Tim Spencer said.

Haven residents have access to the onsite amenities including an indoor heated pool, gym, private media room, music room, a residents' kitchen and private dining area and lounge. There's also a residents only concierge service.

On street level there's a cafe and food store and the wellness centre City Cave.
