SYDNEY: EcoWorld International has brought its brand to Australia with the opening of its EcoWorld Gallery @ West Village, Parramatta, here.
West Village, the first project in Australia for EcoWorld, is a mere 10-minute walk to Parramatta, Sydney’s second central business district (CBD) and Australia’s fifth largest after Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra. Parramatta has been identified as the No. 1 investors’ hotspot in Australia by the country’s leading property portal, realestate.com.au, in May.
The project, comprising a 40-storey tower and a seven-storey podium block, offers 397 luxury one, two and three-bedroom apartments with a vibrant retail precinct on the ground floor and an exclusive residents’ rooftop terrace overlooking the Blue Mountains and Sydney CBD.
It comes with serene landscaped gardens designed by award-winning celebrity landscape designer Myles Baldwin, and offers an impressive rooftop Chef’s Kitchen and residents’ lounge for private functions and parties, as well as an indoor driving range golf simulator that allows golf lovers to play the top 20 golf courses in the world.
The project’s built-up ranges from 538 sq ft to 1,290 sq ft, with prices ranging from A$550,000 to A$650,000 for a one-bedroom unit to A$900,000 to A$1.3mil for a three-bedroom unit.
West Village, which has a gross development value of A$300mil, enjoys good connectivity to Sydney CBD via a 30-minute train ride from the Parramatta Train Station located just a five-minute walk away from the site.
It is also a five-minute walk to Westfield Parramatta Shopping Centre, the largest shopping mall in the Southern Hemisphere with about 500 shops and over 30 million visitors annually, and a 10-minute walk to University of Western Sydney’s CBD Campus and University of New England’s CBD campus.
EcoWorld International deputy chairman Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin said: “We are delighted to debut the EcoWorld brand in Australia with such a strong project in Parramatta, the fastest-growing CBD and No. 1 investors’ hotspot in Australia.
“The site’s fantastic location with unrivalled access to a host of amenities provides us with a wonderful opportunity to create a stunning new icon for Parramatta.”
West Village has garnered good response, with 90% of units already reserved year-to-date with only the remaining 10% to be retained for its official launch at the end of the month, according to EcoWorld Sydney Development Pty Ltd chief executive officer Yap Foo Leong.
