50 HUGH ST, TOWNSVILLE
Ellis Developments is proud and excited to present our latest lifestyle opportunity in Townsville, Haven. Situated at 50 Hugh Street, Townsville, Haven is one of the last remaining large-scale residential sites with near-city convenience, linking the CBD and all of Townsville’s unique lifestyle offerings within a 2km radius. At the western base of Castle Hill, this urban community of 200 home and land sites signals a shift to well designed inner city homes that compliment the community’s changing lifestyle and evolving needs. Master planned to include a 1km-long and 50-metres-wide wildlife corridor around the site, each Haven home will have stunning mountain or park views. Haven’s Central Park will accommodate exercise equipment, bike paths and even Sunday Yoga sessions for Haven residents. The location is undeniable, the level of vision in planning is rarely seen and, combined with a very high level of built form, Haven is poised to become Townsville’s premier new address.

Lifestyle When you visit the Haven site, you immediately take in the grandeur of Castle Hill and, in fact, every Haven home will enjoy Castle Hill views. Some of Castle Hill’s best tracks start nearby, with Haven residents spoilt for choice when it comes to parklands and lifestyle facilities. With a little more exploring, you will also find not one, but three of Townsville’s most beautiful parklands (Cutheringa Park, Melrose Park and Harold Phillips Park) all within 200 metres of your Haven home. Wonderfully maintained by the Townsville City Council, each park has spacious lawns, large shady trees, off-leash dog area and a variety of recreation facilities for you to use. You’ll also discover direct access from Haven to a quiet wilderness corridor meandering along Mundy Creek. This corridor links with the Belgian Gardens bike path that continues further along the creek, delivering you straight to Rowes Bay, by the sea. From there, turn left to Pallarenda or turn right to Jezzine Park, Kissing Point and The Strand. A leisurely stroll, a quick jog or an even quicker ride from Haven and you have access to Townsville’s prime centre of activity. Literally, lifestyle on your doorstep.

Team “Our growth has been sustainable and well managed. As such we are able to utilise buying power that is at the top of the tiers. Passing this value onto clients has been our road to success.”
After recognising a missing link in Townsville house and land options, successful long-term property investor Stephen Ellis of Ellis Developments decided to do something about it. Stephen aimed to create high quality home-and-land packages, bringing modern designs to the increasingly discerning Townsville market. The redeveloped Townsville city centre, huge financial incentives and a recently streamlined planning approval process have seen rapidly growing interest in city living. Savvy Townsville locals are also recognising there is more Stephen Ellis
