Welcome to Chatswood

A vibrant neighbourhood close to transport, parks, shops and services.

The project

Landcom is planning to transform the former Sydney Metro construction site at Chatswood into a vibrant, well-designed neighbourhood with up to 1,500 new homes.

Our plans include:

  • 180 build-to-rent apartments offered to essential workers like nurses, paramedics, teachers, police officers and firefighters at a discount to market rent, through a separate subsidy
  • up to 1,300 additional apartments with a mix of affordable rental housing and homes to buy to suit different needs and lifestyles
  • shops and services
  • outdoor spaces, including a central park, lush native greenery, shaded seating areas and public art
  • future community use of heritage-listed Mowbray House
  • walking and cycling connections to the wider area. 

Located in the Chatswood CBD, future residents will be close to public transport, restaurants, shops, services, schools and health facilities, including Royal North Shore Hospital - one of Sydney’s largest hospitals.

The project is supported by the NSW Government’s $450 million investment into Landcom to deliver 400 build-to-rent homes for essential workers in metropolitan Sydney, closer to their jobs and services.
