Sekisui House Australia has achieved a major milestone in its $5-billion Melrose Park masterplan with the completion of Melrose Park Village, the fourth stage of one of Sydney’s largest urban renewal projects. Located in the city’s north-west, the village forms part of a broader, evolving plan to deliver thousands of new homes, schools and expansive green space.

Melrose Park Village comprises 421 apartments across six buildings rising between six and 13 storeys and overlooking a 4,000sqm landscaped courtyard designed as a communal “urban backyard” for residents. The project is now 96% sold, with just 14 premium three-bedroom apartments – each with two car spaces – remaining in the final building.

Melrose Park Village stands as a sustainable and connected community in the heart of Sydney’s north-west, says Alex Grujovski, Project Director, Apartment & Mixed-Use Developments at Sekisui House Australia.

“This project represents a pivotal step in our long-term vision for Melrose Park, reflecting our commitment to creating communities that blend nature, technology and human connection.”

Since 2020, the developer has delivered more than 1,075 apartments across four stages, with each designed to enhance resident wellbeing and convenience through exceptional architecture and resident-focused amenities.

Residents have access to a broad range of lifestyle facilities including a 4,000sqm internal park, rooftop gardens and BBQ areas, wellness amenities such as an infrared sauna, yoga studio and gymnasium, plus co-working spaces, pet wash facilities, EV charging stations, and a resident shuttle bus.

Sustainability innovations such as rooftop solar, smart energy meters, water and air filtration systems, and groundwater reuse technology are central to the precinct’s design.

AJC Architects, who have led the design of the Melrose Park masterplan from the outset, designed Melrose Park Village around their “urban backyard” concept.

“At the heart of Melrose Park Village is a generous green courtyard, a shared backyard for all residents. We designed it at the scale of a local park, a place for families to live, play and grow, capturing the spirit of the Australian backyard,” explains Michael Heenan, Design Lead at AJC Architects.

The team’s approach to smart city design, carbon capture and sustainability has guided every aspect of the project, he adds.

“Stage 4 reflects our belief that density can improve liveability. By integrating architecture, landscape and open space, we have created a model for sustainable urban living that feels contemporary and distinctly Australian.”

The project was delivered in partnership with Parkview Constructions, continuing a 15-year collaboration that has delivered thousands of apartments across Sydney.

When complete, Melrose Park will include more than 6,000 new homes, 52,000sqm of open green space featuring over 1,400 mature trees, new transport connections, a town centre set to open in 2026, and Melrose Park High School, due to welcome students in early 2027, transforming a former industrial site into a future-ready neighbourhood for over 12,000 residents.
