SYDNEY, 28 JULY 2020
As more employers consider a permanent shift to remote working arrangements for their staff, Sydneysiders are taking a broader view of where they want to live as the reality sets in that living close to work is not as important as it used to be.
Domain1 recently reported that Australians appear to be considering a tree change once they come out of coronavirus lockdown with interstate searches for property skyrocketing.
“Millennials who previously preferred city life are now at the age of forming families. They are having children and are looking for dwellings big enough to raise their kids with both parents working from home,” says Warwick Dowler, Development Director, Frasers Property Australia.
Offering 1,884 homes in a mix of apartments, terraces and ‘mews’-style townhouses, Frasers Property’s game-changing masterplanned community Ed.Square is an ideal option for Sydneysiders able to work remotely, who want an inner-city lifestyle but also access to beautiful natural surrounds.
Many of Ed.Square’s modern homes feature studies perfect for home office use, while the adjacent train station provides easy access to the CBD and other major Sydney centres for when travel is necessary.
“COVID-19 has taught us that working from home is a very real option for many businesses and the practice is likely to last. It presents the perfect opportunity for people to seek alternatives to CBD living while still enjoying the convenient lifestyle of an inner-city style apartment,” Mr Dowler says.
Especially if there’s a host of social and community amenity close by. Stage 1 of Ed.Square Town Centre will comprise approximately 25,000 sqm of retail space, with a full-line Coles supermarket, a Liquorland store, Event Cinemas complex and a range of specialty shops, dining choices and entertainment options.
The inner-city style Eat Street is expected to draw people from across Sydney. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it will incorporate 25 different alfresco and other dining options across a range of local and national operators creating a great family friendly meeting and entertainment precinct.
In addition to food, dining, entertainment and shopping, Ed.Square will provide a wide range of health, medical and wellbeing services. Chemistworks, Ed.Square Dental, Back in Focus and Anytime Fitness will contribute to the community’s social infrastructure, and Myhealth Medical Centre will provide on-site access to GPs and a range of medical services to residents and the broader region.
Frasers Property has also confirmed that a massage and acupuncture specialist, sporting goods retailer, pathology, and childcare operator will be joining Ed.Square, offering families real convenience and a range of services promoting healthy, active lifestyles.
Ed.Square has a diverse range of homes on offer. Prices for one to three-bedroom townhomes range from $510,000 to $799,000, while one and two-bedroom apartments range from $490,000 to $697,000.
Set amongst more than six hectares of open space, Ed.Square will be one of Sydney’s most walkable communities. Ed.Square Town Centre is within 400 metres of all homes, and parks and bushland are dotted through and around the community to encourage walking and community connections.
Ed.Square will be serviced by convenient bus and train links to Parramatta and Sydney CBD, with easy access to Sydney’s main roads and Western Sydney Airport. It is a 45-minute train journey from the adjacent Edmondson Park railway station to Central Station.
The Ed.Square Sales Centre and Display Village is open daily from 11am to 4pm. For further information or to register your interest in Ed.Square, phone Frasers Property on 13 38 38 or visit www.EdSquare.com.au.
