A Different Approach to Property Development
In this Property Now episode, Steve Harb from CBD Core shares how family values, long-term thinking and quality design shaped some of Castle Hill’s best known boutique apartment developments.
The conversation explores:
- Downsizing trends
- Boutique apartment living
- Community focused design
- Off the plan property in growth suburbs
Why Castle Hill Continues to Attract Buyers
Castle Hill remains one of Sydney’s most tightly held areas.
According to Steve, buyers are drawn to:
- Green open spaces
- Schools and hospitals
- Metro connectivity
- Strong family communities
Many locals do not want to leave the area, even when downsizing.
Apartment Design Is Changing
The episode highlights how downsizers and families now expect more from apartment living.
New developments are focusing on:
- Larger floorplans
- Butler’s pantries
- Extra storage
- Rooftop amenities
- Wellness facilities like pools and saunas
The goal is creating homes that still feel spacious and community driven.
Off the Plan Property and Long-Term Living
Rather than building purely for investors, the discussion focuses on homes designed for long-term living.
This includes:
- Family sized apartments
- Lifestyle amenities
- Flexible layouts
- Community spaces
These features are becoming increasingly important for downsizers and owner occupiers.
Coposit and Flexible Property Buying
Coposit helps eligible buyers secure off the plan property with a smaller upfront amount instead of a traditional large deposit.
This creates more flexibility for first home buyers, downsizers and buyers looking to enter premium property markets sooner.
