DA-approved 362-lot development site in the Greater Macarthur region
Colliers has transacted a substantial 40-hectare residential landholding in Wilton which has sold for circa $100 million to a local private developer after a highly competitive campaign led by Colliers’ Joe Sacco and Joseph Lin on behalf of vendor Risland Australia.
Approved for 362 residential lots plus residual land, the property sits within South West Sydney’s rapidly expanding Greater Macarthur growth corridor and represents one of the region’s most significant englobo transactions in recent months.
Generating more than 120 enquiries and multiple competitive offers in the initial round, the campaign attracted strong interest from a broad mix of institutional groups, private developers, interstate buyers and offshore capital.
“This transaction demonstrates just how intensely contested major DA-approved land sites have become. With large‑scale opportunities of this nature increasingly scarce, and as with smaller development parcels continuing to fragment, groups are targeting land that can feed their future housing pipelines,” said Joseph Lin, National Director, Asia Markets.
Located adjacent to the established Wilton Greens community, the landholding benefits from strategic proximity to the Hume Motorway, Picton Road, Campbelltown, Wollongong and the Western Sydney Aerotropolis. Government forecasts indicate Wilton will accommodate more than 40,000 residents and up to 15,000 new jobs upon completion, positioning it as one of NSW’s most important future townships.
“The level of competition throughout the campaign reflects a broader trend we’re seeing across South West Sydney. As englobo and greenfield sites remain highly resilient, these opportunities continue to draw deep pools of capital from both domestic and offshore buyers. Wilton’s growth fundamentals, backed by the region’s substantial infrastructure investment and masterplanned expansion, made this asset one of the standout opportunities in the market,” added Joe Sacco, Director, Sydney Metro Sales | Investment Services.
This sale marks the second major South West Sydney land transaction completed by Colliers in the past 12 months, reinforcing sustained momentum across the region’s greenfield development market. With ongoing population growth, limited availability of large developable parcels and continued competition among developers, this transaction highlights strong confidence in the long‑term trajectory of the Greater Macarthur and South West Sydney growth areas.
