Meriton heading higher at The Retreat
20 July 2018
Meriton: THE Meriton group, responding to
accelerating sales, plans to lift the height of the latest
tower in
master-planned
Sydney Olympic Park project The Retreat.
The
building, the second elliptical tower in The Retreat’s initial
stage, Aura, was intended to be 22 levels.
The Harry Triguboff-headed group is seeking development
approval to take
the tower to 33 levels, a move which would boost the number of
apartments by 88 to 243 and offer buyers spectacular views.
The glass-faced apartments in the twin Aura towers have been designed to
capitalise on views across Bicentennial Park and the Parramatta River to
the
Sydney CBD and the harbour bridge.
Meriton says Aura’s completed first tower, which is 22 levels, has met
with unprecedented demand and is 95% sold including a top floor four
bedroom penthouse for $2.270m boasting its very own rooftop terrace in
the sky.
The Retreat masterplan, which will have 1400 apartments when complete,
is the group’s biggest undertaking in a long and successful Inner West
presence.
It is 650 metres from the Olympic Park train station, a 30-minute train
ride to Central Station, and on the doorstep of the proposed Stage Two
Parramatta light
rail which when complete will shorten the travel time to less than
20 minutes and offer a more direct route for The Retreat’s residents.
The Retreat site is close to Botania, a recent sell out three-building
mid-rise community with 321 apartments that Meriton completed in 2017.
Mr Triguboff yesterday said the demand for the lifestyle on offer within
the Olympic Park precinct was ‘ever growing’.
“The Retreat, and what it offers its residents, is benefiting from that
bubbling demand and we want to capitalise on that by offering buyers
greater choice. We are pleased that first home buyers will have a
selection of over 50 apartments valued under $600,000, ensuring that
they benefit from
NSW state government incentives such as no Stamp Duty
and the $10,000
NSW First Home Owner Grant. The Retreat’s central location will
ensure investors capitalise on strong rental returns.”
“We made a big commitment when we bought the Carter Street site for $245
million three years ago and we are excited to see our vision for the
site come to life”
Meriton bought the 5.17-hectare site, at 5 Carter Street from the
Goodman Group in 2015.
The Retreat will boast a 2000sqm park as its centrepiece and residents
have quick access to the vast areas of parkland at Olympic Park.
The project is to have an elevated podium garden and recreational zone
featuring table tennis, bocce lawn, dining pavilions and barbeque area,
available exclusively for use by residents. Residents will also enjoy
access to a retail area anchored by a major supermarket, and resident
resort-style facilities such as an indoor lap pool, gymnasium, sauna and
spa.
Meriton says the apartments in the planned 33-level tower will range
from one-bedroom layouts through to four-bedroom penthouses with rooftop
entertaining areas.
All apartments are framed by striking floor to ceiling glass windows
with some apartments featuring large study rooms of bedroom-sized
proportions, semi-enclosed balconies and corner positions ensuring they
are bathed in natural light.
Boasting premium finishes including SMEG kitchen appliances, Caesarstone
benchtops and frameless glass.
An exclusive penthouse collection, with bespoke finishes, enjoy their
own private rooftop terraces with pergola, turfed area and BBQ
facilities
Prices will start at $500,000 for one-bedroom units, $760,000 for
two-bedroom ones, and $1.025 million for three-bedroom apartments.
Prices have not been set for the penthouses.
Display Centre open 7 days from 10:00am – 5:00pm
