New super-sized apartments defy compact living in Sydney

at Sydney Olympic Park is defying compact Sydney living.

The 30-storey tower features 300 apartments, but its selection of large-scale, four-bedroom apartments are setting a new precedent for unit living.

Located on the upper levels of the tower, each apartment totals 218spm (168sqm internally and a 50sqm balcony) and provide panoramic views north over Homebush Bay to Chatswood, east to Sydney’s CBD, south over Bicentennial Park to Sydney Airport and west to the Blue Mountains.

With these large-scale apartments, developer Ecove hoped to tempt families and challenge their thoughts that unit living means compromising space and comfort.



 



“Scaled-up apartments are a perfect alternative to the family home,” said Sue Ballesty, the Marketing Director of One Australia Avenue.

“There is little difference in space and creature comforts to a house, but these apartments free the family from external maintenance chores, allowing more quality time together. Most importantly, they are in a vibrant location where no houses exist.”

While the apartment living often means little to no garden space, Sydney Olympic Park offers 430 hectares of play areas and parklands.



Sydney Olympic Park hosts many of Sydney’s sporting, entertainment and corporate events including the NRL Grand Final and the Royal Easter Show. It is also developing into a food hub with 32 specialty retailers and dozens more expected by the tower’s completion.

With bus, train and ferry services close by, the area is easily accessible to the most of Sydney.

The large-scale, four-bedroom apartments are located on floors 27 to 30 and range in price from $1.245 million to $2.58 million.

Construction on One Australia Avenue has commenced and is due for completion by mid-2015.
