CIVIL construction is underway on Stockland’s first NSW land lease community Stockland Halcyon Gables, a community for over-60s.
Spanning 12-hectares and comprising 231 homes, Stockland Halcyon Gables will be located in Stockland’s masterplanned community, The Gables, in the Hills district approximately 50 kilometres north-west of Sydney’s CBD, acquired in 2020.
The new community has been designed with a focus on over-60s with an active lifestyle.
With resort-style facilities including a wellness centre with heated mineral pool, gym and sauna, pickleball courts, bowling green, and a recreational clubhouse featuring a library and cinema.
“Homeowners at Stockland Halcyon Gables will be a part of an active and connected community, and benefit from Stockland’s ongoing ownership and management of the community infrastructure, centralised management and administration, streetscape and park mowing, and maintenance of community areas and gardens,” said Richard Rhydderch, executive general manager of Stockland Halcyon Communities.
The Gables sits within close proximity of the Sydney Metro Northwest rail line and Norwest Business Park.
The Gables community includes around 75 hectares of green space, a future four-hectare lake, 16 kilometres of planned cycle and pathways, parks, schools, a future town centre, and future childcare centres.
“Stockland Halcyon communities are an attractive option to people over 60 because it can allow them to bank a portion of the equity when they sell the family home,” said Ken Franklin, project director at Stockland Halcyon Gables.
“The benefit to the wider market is that they are downsizing and freeing up that often larger home, in an established area, for a family looking for more space or upgrading.”
The homes at Stockland Halcyon Gables will be all-electric and will boast a 7-Star NatHERS rating as standard.
The first release for Stockland Halcyon Gables is expected to launch in coming months.
“Our vision at Stockland is to be the leading creator and curator of connected communities, and this is underpinned by our purpose – a better way to live,” said Rhydderch.
“Stockland Halcyon’s award winning communities have been transforming lifestyle living for more than 17 years, with 21 communities either established or in development across Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia – and now New South Wales.”
Stockland Halcyon launched four new Victorian communities to the market in January, after the success of Halcyon Berwick, with Halcyon Evergreen, Highlands, Horizon and Jardin.
