The evolution of Castle Hill

Castle Hill has long attracted an active and outdoors-loving crowd, having largely consisted of generous homes on larger lots with plenty of room to walk, run, and breathe in the fresh air. Over the years, with improved transport and the need for housing diversity, apartments  have become a desirable alternative adding to the vibrancy of the area.

The new Metro stations at Castle Hill and Showground have boosted the area’s connections to Norwest, Chatswood, and the CBD, all while maintaining the neighbourhood’s sense of openness, nature, and outdoorsy green living.

“We have been deliberate in pursuing projects along the new Metro line.” Deicorp founder Fouad Deiri said.

“Deicorp has long believed that value, convenience and lifestyle go hand in hand with great transport connections.” Mr Deiri added.

Exploring Castle Hill’s future

Deicorp, Sydney-based retail building developers, see huge potential in Castle Hill. So much so, in fact, that the team are working on an exciting new project at Showground, which is set to become the vibrant hub of the neighbourhood. Plans are underway to create an outdoor piazza opposite the Metro station, where residents can socialise, dine, shop and play, all in one place. The Showground project is being developed alongside the Sydney Metro Northwest Urban Design and Landscape Corridor Plan, which is set to turn Castle Hill into a thriving urban centre in the heart of the Hills.

Blending old and new

It’s clear that any new developments that come Castle Hill’s way will be used to complement the existing landscape and atmosphere, not replace it. The exciting new retail, residential and commercial projects will be carefully combined with Castle Hill’s tranquil leafy streets and sprawling green open spaces, seamlessly blending old and new. Castle Hill’s future is one closely connected to its past. While new families may move in and bring their own touch to the area, the neighbourhood’s long-standing, loyal residents will ensure that Castle Hill’s history and stories are never forgotten.

“Deicorp only works with leading architects and designers who work to deliver buildings that compliment their surroundings and add visual interest and appeal.” Mr Fouad Deiri said.

“It’s why since 1999, we’ve designed, developed and delivered over 8,000 apartments.” Mr Deiri added.

Building on greatness

The truth is that, while Castle Hill is a relatively new addition to Sydney’s hottest neighbourhood list, the foundations of greatness are already well established. The area is home to an impressive number of reputable schools, high-quality shopping and dining spaces, efficient transport links, and a strong local community. The foundations are already there. Now, they just need to be built upon.

Laying roots in Castle Hill

As more people flock to this highly-desirable neighbourhood, Deicorp is helping to meet demand for high-quality, affordable homes with its latest project, The Ashford. With a collection of luxury one, two, and three-bedroom apartments overlooking Castle Hill’s peaceful streets, The Ashford is the perfect place to enjoy the area’s stunning natural beauty. The apartments have been cleverly designed to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor, allowing residents to get the most from their surroundings.

“The Ashford apartments are spacious, warm and take advantage of the natural beauty of the area, giving residents lovely district views.” Mr Fouad Deiri commented.

“Designed by Turner Studio, The Ashford brings sophistication, style and space for people who deserve something more.” Mr Deiri stated.

Reinventing the Hills

Castle Hill is, without a doubt, the ‘next big thing’. But it’s only the start of great things to come. The broader Hills Shire is at a turning point, with exciting redevelopment projects on track to transform even more neighbourhoods across the region into thriving, contemporary hubs of activity.

Areas to watch include Rouse Hill and Tallawong. Deicorp have already launched design and construction projects in both neighbourhoods as part of these new urban renewal developments. In Rouse Hill, Proximity boasts 375 one, two, and three-bedroom oversized apartments. And in Tallawong Village, there are 900+ architecturally designed apartments complete with terraces.

As young professionals, growing families, and downsizers seek to create happier, healthier, more balanced lifestyles, suburbs such as the Hills District are set to become highly sought-after.
