Leading Sydney developer Deicorp has recorded a strong market response at the launch of The Avenues, its $874 million East Zetland precinct, achieving close to $18 million in apartment sales in a single day.
The result highlights sustained demand for architecturally designed, well-connected homes in Sydney’s inner south, with early purchasers predominantly being owner-occupiers. Family-anchored decisions, including being closer to kids and grandkids, emerged as a primary driver.
Apartments sold ranged from $1.8 million to $1.97 million for two bedrooms, and $2.12 million to $2.62 million for three bedrooms, reflecting strong confidence in the project’s design, amenity and long-term value.
Located four kilometres from the CBD, The Avenues is transforming a 2.87-hectare site into a pedestrian-friendly urban neighbourhood comprising 574 residences across nine buildings designed by Candalepas Associates and FK.
Surrounded by tree-lined, walkable “avenues”, the precinct’s more than 800sqm of ground-floor retail brings a lively, Paris-inspired streetscape to the heart of East Zetland and will directly service nearby amenities and the surrounding residential community.
The Avenues will also feature build-to-rent and purpose-built student housing in partnership with Scape, supporting key workers, students and long-term renters in this high-demand corridor.
Deicorp will also contribute more than $16 million to open space improvements, including upgrades to Woolwash and Biyanbing Parks, with The Avenues designed to strengthen pedestrian connections to Green Square Station and Gunyama Park.
Deicorp Founder, Fouad Deiri OAM, said a clear trend was evident, with purchasers driven by proximity to family and lifestyle essentials.
“We’ve seen a clear trend of parents wanting to live close to adult children and students, as well as interstate and international buyers seeking to reconnect with family in Sydney’s inner south.
“This early sales performance reflects the strength of East Zetland as a connected, high-amenity location and the appeal of homes designed with long-term liveability in mind. Many of these early-stage buyers are repeat Deicorp purchasers, too,” said Fouad.
Zetland is one of the top suburbs in Australia to experience an increase in housing density, with its population growing by 24 per cent in as little as three years to over 15,600 residents. According to REA, 197 units were available last month, with over 2300 buyers interested, demonstrating the strong demand for this inner southern pocket of Sydney.
Deicorp’s strong result at The Avenues follows significant spring momentum across its portfolio, with $63 million in combined sales recorded across recent launches for Showground Pavilions in Castle Hill and Falcon & Alexander in Crows Nest.
Construction on The Avenues commenced in June, with the construction period expected to generate 2,700 jobs. Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 5,102 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.
Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, Kings Bay Village in Five Dock, Hyde Metropolitan, and Showground Village, all advancing the company’s long-term commitment to creating vibrant, transit-oriented neighbourhoods.
Apartments start from $955k for a one-bedroom, $1.48 million for a two-bedroom and $2.04 million for a three-bedroom, all with car parking. For more information or to register your interest, visit eastzetland.com.au.
