Construction has begun on a new town centre in Sydney’s north west that aims to rejuvenate the area and provide valuable new housing and retail space.
Early site works commenced this week on builder Deicorp’s Melrose Central project, an ‘ambitious’ urban renewal project sitting just 12km northwest of the Sydney CBD.
Situated within the 30ha Melrose Park North Urbal Renewal Project, Melrose Central will consist of almost 500 units, around 30,000 sqm of retail space and include a station on the planned Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 route, according to Deicorp.
The project includes around 500 apartments.
The entire project is expected to be finished in 2027.
