as well as the state-of-the-art Sydney Metro system . Together with our partners , we are setting a new standard for modern , community-focused living in Castle Hill ,” said Mr . El Rihani .

“ North-west Sydney is becoming a hotspot for jobs and growth thanks to our world-class Metro infrastructure . The community has been ready for this change for some time now , and we thank developers like Ellipse Property for bringing that vision to Carrington Place ,” said Mr . Hawke .

The masterplan will be constructed across five stages and feature abundant community space , with over 20,000 square metres of outdoor recreational area including a one-kilometre boardwalk connecting the precinct to the nearby Fred Caterson Reserve .

The project is seamlessly integrated with the surrounding bushland , with a site

boundary that stretches right to the edge of Cattai Creek – immersing residents in Castle Hill ’ s natural beauty .

The Hills Showground Metro Station is just two minutes ’ walk from Carrington Place , offering fast connectivity to Sydney ’ s CBD , Chatswood , North Sydney , Macquarie Park and Norwest Business Park .

Atrium comprises 140 over-sized , ‘ house-like ’ apartments in a range of one , two , three and four-bedroom configurations , some with double living spaces .

Uniquely , over 75 % of apartments will feature studies or multi-purpose rooms , and abundant storage with various layouts also offering walk-in pantries .

Paying homage to its verdant setting , Atrium ’ s striking design features a curvilinear exterior echoing the form of Cattai Creek with lush landscaping surrounding the building on three sides .

True to its namesake , it will also feature an expansive atrium at the ground floor entrance , further connecting residents to nature .

The development will offer elevated indoor-outdoor living , outdoor kitchens , BBQ areas , an outdoor gym , and rooftop terraces boasting sweeping views of the creek and the wider Hills region .

Atrium will be delivered by Decode , an award-winning Tier 2 residential builder and one of the first to achieve a prestigious Gold iCIRT rating .

“ Housing is a massive investment for any consumer , and it is absolutely vital that they can trust the developer and builder they are dealing with . We need iCIRT-rated developers and builders like Ellipse Property and Decode to be the backbone of our industry , and the type of quality players that are filling the void of the housing supply crisis ,” said Acting NSW

Building Commissioner , Matt Press .

Apartments at Atrium have been sold predominantly to downsizers and firsthome buyers , who are attracted to Castle Hill ’ s natural beauty , vibrant community and abundant retail and dining options . Speaking at the groundbreaking event , Mayor of the Hills Shire Dr Michelle Byrne said that Carrington Place addressed the needs of the Hills ’ changing demographics .

“ There are people that have lived in the Hills for 30,40 , 50 years , they ’ re not leaving the Hills - they ’ re downsizing and choosing apartments . There are also more and more people from outside the Hills who want to be part of our community . I ’ m looking forward to welcoming these people , and projects like Carrington Place - that build not just apartment blocks , but communities - are the key ,” she said .

Atrium is set for completion in early 2026 .
