DEVELOPER Sekisui House is meeting demand for luxury apartments in Sydney’s north-west with its upcoming Veue Central, set to be the tallest stage in its $1 billion masterplanned community in Norwest.

The residential towers have been designed with a vertical green spine by Crone Architects, which is complemented by open landscaped recreational central core, connecting residents to The Orchards’ parklands.
“Veue’s design vision defers to The Orchards’ natural surrounds with residences maximising connection to the landscape and nature,” said Julian Venning, principal of design at Crone Architects.

Residents will have access to a wellness centre with gym and pool connected directly to the garden, in addition to the adjacent communal function centre, EV charging stations and a concierge service.
“Veue is invested in a sustainable future and committed to environmental sustainability, bringing together multiple technologies to lower emissions and energy consumption as well as supporting The Orchards community,” added Venning.
