A New Focus For Metropolitan Ryde

23 September 2013

Meriton’s planned apartment development in the heart of Ryde signals the dynamic evolution of the area, with a public square and café to complement world-class residential apartments as a landmark meeting place. The predominantly one-bedroom apartments will be set at an affordable price point within the burgeoning metropolitan centre, already a hit with young professionals, business people and university students.

With many apartments affording views of Parramatta River and city skyline, Meriton’s architectural complex speaks of the history of the once-industrial site, boasting a classic modern exterior with accents of colour amid the stone and metal cladding. Four buildings up to seven storeys in height will house 249 generously proportioned one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with good cross ventilation, natural light and spacious balconies. Elegant, open-plan interiors will feature sleek modern kitchens with stone benchtops, European appliances, glass splashbacks and soft-closing drawers for a practical yet sophisticated touch.

A network of cycle paths and parking spots for 38 bicycles are testament to the development’s environmentally friendly footprint, with a 20-metre pool, sauna, spa and gymnasium adding further lifestyle appeal for young couples, singles, families and downsizers. A leafy, walk-through plaza invites morning and evening strolls, with beautiful riverside parks nearby.

Walking distance from the train and ferry station, with a bus stop virtually at your door and Rhodes Shopping Centre a five-minute drive away, the apartments are earmarked for convenience. An onsite childcare centre will provide 75 spots, and the local public school is 2.5 kilometres down the road. Midway between the Sydney CBD and Parramatta business district, the apartments are also just a seven-minute drive from Sydney Olympic Park and its drawcard events.
