Melrose Park by Sekisui House appeals to buyers wanting the best of both worlds, and the launch of their next stage comes early next year.
In Sydney’s competitive property market, where a central location often means sacrificing greenery, Melrose Park by Sekisui House offers an enticing opportunity for buyers.
The new community is located just 30 minutes from Sydney CBD, 10 minutes from Parramatta CBD, and is surrounded by nature, with apartments priced from $639,000.
The development allows residents to enjoy the perks of urban living while being able to enjoy the natural surrounds.
With over 90% of apartments in Stage 4 sold out, the launch of Stage 5 is due for February 2025 and is expected to sell equally as fast, according to Edward Crawford, Senior Sales and Operations Manager at Sekisui House Australia.
“Buyers love Melrose Park – the location, transport connections, access to Parramatta, Ryde, and the city are really attractive,” he explained.
“The next stage is really special as it’s surrounded by new parklands.
“To the east of the upcoming development phase, a 2-hectare Central Park is currently under construction, complemented by linear parklands along the western boundary.”
Innovative design
Designed to harmonise with the natural landscape, the contemporary apartments feature open-plan spaces that flow seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies invite green vistas into the living areas, encouraging a connection with nature, and underpinning Sekisui House’s key design philosophy.

Just 30 minutes from the CBD, 10 minutes from Parramatta CBD, and surrounded by nature.
Communal areas are designed to encourage relaxation and connection between residents with lush courtyards, rooftop gardens, shaded walkways, and access to Parramatta River.
There’s no shortage of amenities either, from pools to gyms, recreation decks, co-working spaces, and playgrounds.
All residents will have access to Central Park, with many of the residences taking in views of the park—a feature Mr Crawford said sets Melrose Park apart.
“We know that buyers and residents want more outdoor space and greenery, so having over five hectares of parklands and 1,500 new trees in the precinct makes Melrose Park quite unique.
“This is not just another building next to more of the same.
“This is a carefully designed, master-planned community with green space, facilities, shopping, new schools, and transport included,” he said.
Reputation for quality, innovation, and sustainability
Sekisui House is renowned globally for its dedication to quality and sustainable building practices, and Melrose Park showcases this commitment.
Recently awarded a 4-star iCIRT rating, the development has been carefully designed with multiple environmentally friendly elements in mind including water-saving features, solar panels, and energy-efficient appliances, which all come as standard.
These design considerations help reduce the residents’ environmental footprints while also lowering ongoing utility costs.
Renowned for dedication to quality and sustainable building, Melrose Park showcases this commitment.
The developer, multi-award-winning Sekisui House, prides itself on its approach to building communities that will stand the test of time with a strong emphasis on health and wellness, from air-filtration systems to the use of non-toxic building materials.
Melrose Park Stage 5 is the first project in Australia to be formally enrolled for the WELL for residential program, an international standard for certification of spaces that advance human health and well-being.
“A core philosophy of Sekisui House is carefully considered design and creating places and residences that improve over time.
The upcoming release is unique in the project – well-appointed park side apartments with an abundance of natural light, parking with every apartment, clever storage designs, and most have multipurpose spaces that suit as a home office or media room.
“The design is carefully considered, and materials and selections are elegant and durable,” said Mr Crawford.
Prime location and connectivity
Situated between Parramatta and Sydney CBD, Melrose Park offers an ideal location for easy transit between the city and the leafy suburban suburbs.
The state government’s announcement of the light rail connection to Melrose Park has been a game-changer, according to Mr. Crawford.
“This is a connection from Melrose Park to Wentworth Point through to Sydney Olympic Park Metro. Our residents will have access to light rail, shuttle services to Meadowbank Train Station, and the ferry to Barangaroo.
“Early buyers and residents have capitalised on the light rail and town centre,” he said.
The community is designed to be walkable, reducing the number of cars on the road. Cafes, a new Town Centre, and essential services are all within a short stroll. Plans for a new high school within the development are also in place.
“In addition to the existing Melrose Park Primary School and on-site childcare services, the childcare and education options available to residents are first class.
Melrose Park is also close to Western Sydney University – the options are huge,” said Mr. Crawford.
The central location means buyers don’t need to compromise.
First-home buyers, downsizers, and investors have all shown interest in the development, attracted by the opportunity to enter the Sydney property market at an affordable price.
“Melrose Park is the emerging hotspot in the Sydney property landscape because of its prime location and potential for capital growth.
“Smart buyers know the benefits of buying off the plan, including the fact that today’s price is locked in, but you don’t pay for two years.
“You get the benefit of being in the Sydney market while the property is delivered,” said Mr. Crawford.
