Urban Property Group’s new residential and retail precinct in Edmondson Park, Chapter Place, is set to deliver up to 1,900 new homes in the geographic centre of outer South Western Sydney.
Earlier this week, a groundbreaking ceremony was held on the site where 43 architecturally designed 3-storey terraces will be completed within 12 months.
This will be the first of Chapter Place’s five sites to be developed across 51,634 square metres.
Located just 800 metres from Edmondson Park Station, an estimated 4,700 residents will call the $1.5 billion development home by mid-2030.
Urban CEO Patrick Elias said the precinct marked a new chapter in high quality residential development for the region.
“This is the first step in creating an innovative, sustainable and welcoming community, offering a mix of well-connected homes that bring smart, practical living to Sydney’s South West,” Mr Elias said.
“Chapter Place will support community growth and connection, contributing to the urgently needed local housing supply with beautifully designed, high amenity housing and shared open spaces.
“Importantly, the development will also include 272 designated affordable homes for essential workers.”
Chapter Place showcases a range of innovative sustainability initiatives. In collaboration with Austral Bricks, Urban has created a custom brick produced just 22 kilometres from the site and incorporating 21 per cent recycled content.
Carbon neutral bricks will be used throughout the construction of Chapter Place apartments, reflecting a strong commitment to environmentally responsible design.
Other sustainability features include energy efficient, fully electric appliances with maximum Energy Star ratings and solar battery storage to meet household operational energy needs.
Chapter Place follows Urban’s delivery of The Halston at North Strathfield, the first residential project to be completed under the NSW Government’s new affordable housing policy, which opened in June this year.
John Brogden, Chair of Urban’s Advisory Board, said the property marked another milestone in development for the Sydney market.
“This family owned and run business is delivering a range of innovative and diverse housing choices that respond to changing needs and market demographics, especially in areas of high growth like Western Sydney,’’ Mr Brogden said.
The first stage of 43 terrace homes, designed by Cox Architecture, is scheduled for completion in mid-2026.
Construction on the second stage – comprising 63 terrace homes also designed by Cox – is set to commence in October, with completion expected by April 2027.
