With the Parramatta CBD set to undergo a major transformation over the next five years, the area is seeing unprecedented levels of private investment in property.

“Outlying suburbs such as Parramatta and Liverpool are developing into regional cities, and with improved infrastructure in the works, there is likelihood we will see significant population growth in these areas further from the CBD”, property expert Michael Yardney said.

But why invest? The Parramatta area is ideally located in a growth area, home to a broad range of industries and only a 30-minute train ride from the CBD.

According to Smart Property Investment, the area’s gross rental yield for units sits at 3.8 per cent, almost double the rental yield for houses in the area, which sits at 1.96 per cent.

The suburb will soon service residents with a new light rail between the CBD and Western Sydney airport.

Urban takes a look at five apartments within the council area, starting from $405,000.

Lidcombe site leased to acoustic specialists A&A Studios

<html><body>
A Lidcombe development site owned by Aysha Mehajer, of the infamous Mehajer family, sold at weekend yesterday for $1.635 million.
<div class="story-content">
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-lidcombe-129028246" target="_blank">property, containing two duplex shells</a>, was sold under instructions. The auction, which attracted almost a dozen buyer registrations, had been postponed a week after last minute legalities between the family and their financiers.
Totalling 10 bedrooms over four levels, complete with a rooftop terrace, the Mons Street site was transferred into Aysha’s name in 2014 by Mohammed, father of the jailed former Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer (pictured).
It was last traded for $682,000 in 2011.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/9/11/mehajer2.jpg" alt="">
Aysha Mehajer has a longstanding caveat on the title, stating that she was entitled to the estate as the registered proprietor. There’s also a caveat from the excavation group.
While declining to comment, Devine Real Estate Strathfield agents Steven Devine and Daniel Maiese marketed the property as “must be sold”.
It was totally non-compliant, Devine advised, with orders to cease and a likely demolition of the two-level concrete shell that would cost $200,000.
Salim Mehajer’s former Lidcombe home, the opulent six bedroom mansion with 56 security cameras, is two minutes away.

A heavily industrial pocket of Lidcombe may turn high rise residential if a planning application for 2 Hill Road is looked upon favourably.

Flush against the Western Motorway and surrounded by industrial estates, applicant HP Subsidiary Pty Ltd is hoping their $114 million bid for three residential buildings gains approval, after being submitted with Parramatta City Council during May. 2 Hill Road sits on the periphery of the Carter Street Precinct, a zone earmarked for urban regeneration under a <a href="https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/plans-for-your-area/priority-growth-areas-and-precincts/carter-street">plan</a> backed by the NSW Government.

The application shapes as one of the first for the area which has yet to see development of any substance.

Planning image: integrated DESIGN group" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Street level perspective. Planning image: integrated DESIGN group</figcaption></figure>Architecture practice integrated DESIGN group has taken on design duties for the project which consists of 302 apartments. The split sees 126 single bedroom, 159 dual bedroom and 17 triple bedroom apartments across three separate buildings.

The apartments will be supported by 379 car parking bays across 5 basement levels. The tallest building within the application spans 16 levels or 53 metres, marginally taller than an adjoining 15 level tower, whilst a more modest 6 level structure rounds out the built form.

The smallest building will feature a rooftop terrace shrouded in a lattice-like structure with a sight line over Haslams Creek.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/image110_2.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Haslams Creek perspective.

Planning image: integrated DESIGN group" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Haslams Creek perspective. Planning image: integrated DESIGN group</figcaption></figure>The 14,724 square metre triangular currently serves as an open air storage yard. Approximately half the site is dedicated toward open space, with landscape architect SiteDesign + Studios taking on design responsibilities for the ground plane.

In their report on the project, they highlight the opportunity presented by the sprawling site:

<blockquote>
The landscape design for the proposed residential development will provide an extensive area of usable landscaped open space with direct access to the public domain and the proposed Share Way, east of the existing stormwater channel.

The design includes important linkages to the pedestrian and cycle networks proposed under the Carter Street Precinct DCP and suggests ways in which high quality public spaces could be enhanced e.g. a future bicycle bridge opposite the proposed central pedestrian spine could be provided by others to enable a direct link to Newington and the Parramatta foreshore beyond.

The design includes displays of Public Art Work using local community artists and water features which extend the axii of the resident lobbies into the public domain, visually connecting with Haslams Creek or other key points in the public domain.
</blockquote>

Having only been submitted last month, the City Significant Development is some time off a final decision.

Lidcombe's Carter Street Precinct receives a considerable residential application

<html><body>
The continuing strength of the apartment development market together with the desire to relocate their offices into the CBD of Sydney has encouraged the CFMEU to list its head office in Lidcombe for sale.
The 6-8 &amp; 10-12 Railway Street offering consists of over 6,000sqm of land.
The vendor will occupy the offices, on a flexible lease arrangement, for up to two years allowing the purchaser time to secure a development approval.
It could exceed 30,000sqm of GFA under the B4 mixed use zoning.
Jon Chomley and Guillaume Volz of Colliers International and John Surian of Raine &amp; Horne Commercial Parramatta have been appointed by the Union as exclusive agents for the marketing and sales process.
The site is only two minutes’ walk from the Lidcombe railway Station, which provides direct access to the Sydney CBD to the east, Parramatta to the West and Liverpool to the south west.
The Lidcombe CBD is opposite the train station and provides a mix of retail amenities including a wide variety of restaurants and cafes.
The site is also close to excellent school facilities, hospitals and a multitude of golf courses, providing extensive amenity for occupiers.
According to Jon Chomley, National Director, Capital Markets at Colliers International it was "an outstanding site within the undersupplied Lidcombe market."
Guillaume Volz, National Director, Development Sites Residential at Colliers International, believes that there will be strong interest in the site from local developers that understand the metrics of the Lidcombe market.
“Lidcombe has had limited development of apartments over the last five years so the market is keen for more opportunities, particularly where there is some level of holding income on the site” he said.
Offers close March 9.
