Sekisui House Advances $5B Melrose Park Masterplan
Sekisui House has reached the halfway mark of its $5 billion transformation of Melrose Park in Sydney’s west, lodging plans for a new residential stage while commencing construction on another within weeks.
The developer has filed a development application for Stage 7 of its 14-stage masterplanned community, signalling continued momentum across the expansive urban renewal precinct.

Earlier this month, construction began on Stage 5, known as Dawn.
Stage 7 is proposed for a 4236.7sq m sloping site at 84 Wharf Road, adjacent to the newly delivered Central Park, which provides more than 17,000sq m of public open space. The plans outline three buildings: a 23-storey eastern tower, a seven-storey central building and an eight-storey western building.
The stage will deliver 227 apartments, comprising 38 one-bedroom, 157 two-bedroom and 32 three-bedroom homes, alongside 254 residential parking spaces.
Sekisui House project director for apartments and mixed-use developments Alex Grujovski said the application marked another significant milestone in delivering the broader Melrose Park vision.
“Stage 7 will deliver a boutique collection of larger apartments, with a strong focus on three-bedroom homes for families and downsizers seeking convenience and connection,” Grujovski said.
“Designed as three smaller clusters, it encourages community interaction and has direct access to Central Park and open space on three sides.”
Public consultation for Stage 7 has concluded, with approval anticipated in early 2026. Construction is forecast to commence in 2027.
Meanwhile, Stage 5 is being delivered in partnership with Hankyu Hanshin Properties and built by Decode. The 368-home Dawn stage received approval earlier this year and is expected to be completed in 2028.
Located within the Melrose Park North Precinct, east of the Parramatta CBD and 25km west of the Sydney CBD, the former industrial area was rezoned in 2022 from general industrial to high-density residential. Once complete, the masterplan will deliver around 5500 homes, reshaping a site previously occupied by pharmaceutical manufacturing warehouses into a new urban heart for the precinct.
