Overview
Situated in Sydney (890 Bourke Street, Zetland NSW), the Zetland Build to Rent development sits in the heart of a desirable area that has been created to provide quality housing for the city’s essential workers.
The scheme is owned by Aware Real Estate, developed in partnership with global investment manager Barings. Build to Rent operator Essence Project Management has been assigned to project manage the scheme, and as superintendency.
Designed by award-winning architects WMK, the Zetland scheme is aiming for an average NatHERS rating of 7 star. The complex will operate as a single rental facility under a management pool and will be capable of a subsequent strata subdivision.
Apartments
Comprising 135 apartments, the Zetland scheme is a five-level apartment building that focusses on high quality fixtures and finishes throughout each apartment. The development will be held as rental accommodation for eligible Essential Workers employed in industries such as aged care, health care, education, emergency services, police and childcare.
Reaching completion last year, apartments will be available for occupation in late 2024.
Amenities/communal spaces
The development boasts a range of amenities that have designed to complement the convenience and easy-living nature of the scheme, creating a safe space for residents to relax and have fun after a long day at work.
On-site amenities at the Zetland scheme include a gym, lounge, music room, rooftop terrace, and a large central landscaped garden. Excavation has also been carried out for two basement levels containing 111 car spaces.
A ground floor residential lobby has been developed, alongside rooftop communal open space on Level 5. Landscape works include communal open spaces at ground level and Level 5 planting.
Local area
Located just a two-minute walk away from the Green Square Town Centre – further exacerbating the convenience of the site – residents will benefit from being a stone’s throw away from essential public facilities, including a brand-new aquatic centre and gym, award winning library and beautifully landscaped parks and recreation areas.
Zetland is quickly becoming one of Sydney’s most desirable metropolitan suburbs. The site is surrounded by an abundance of schools, universities, hospitals and health care centres, making it the perfect residential area for families and young couples alike.
Transport
Alongside Zetland’s close proximity to the town centre, the development sits just 5km away from the Sydney CBD, and 6km from Sydney Airport.
From Zetland, residents can hop on a train from Central Station and reach Sydney’s CBD in approximately nine minutes. The town also boasts excellent transport links via bus and car.
