WE ARE FUTURE LIVING

At Frasers Property, we’re on a mission to bring Sydney’s next great urban neighbourhood to Macquarie Park. More than just apartments, Midtown MacPark is a sustainable, inclusive and vibrant community where everyone is welcome. It’s a completely new model for Australian urban community development.

It brings people together from all walks of life. It delivers new approaches to housing and public spaces that adapt to diverse needs. It provides the best aspects of urban lifestyle in a 100% walkable neighbourhood where Metro trains, work hubs, shops and leisure are close by.

Across 8.2 hectares there’ll be spaces for students, families, singles and couples, local workers, community and affordable housing as well as new public primary school and two childcare centres. And one third of Midtown MacPark is open space, encouraging everyone to interact outdoors and in the neighbourhood’s many lifestyle amenities.

It’s a place where health, happiness and equality matters. Where everyone shares in all that is great in their neighbourhood for generations to come.

WE ARE LIFE ON THE GREEN

MIDTOWN MACPARK BRINGS A GREENER AND MORE CONNECTED WAY OF LIVING.

Open and 100% walkable, one third of Midtown MacPark will be parks and open space.

The neighbourhood’s tree-lined, pedestrianfriendly streets and pathways connect you to everything you need, while mewsstyle streetscapes are safe for kids and the community to come together.

Quiet cobbled laneways, gardens and parks prioritise people over cars. Within moments, you can be surrounded by bushland, sitting by the shade of mature trees, and listening to birdlife above.

Take respite in one of the many pocket parks, plant herbs in the community garden, or play fetch in the Village Green. And it’s a safe and easy stroll or bike ride to Shrimptons Creek, Wilga Reserve, and other nearby sports ovals.

Everywhere you look in Midtown MacPark, nature abounds.
