‘Ground breaking' development coming to Western Sydney
Construction of 'Cosmopolitan,' the latest project by Sydney development company Deicorp, has begun and is said to be unlike anything currently within the suburb.
Located at 34 Hassall St, the twin buildings will deliver 604 new apartments into the community by 2027.
As well as the much needed injection of new homes, the development includes a three-storey commercial and retail podium, just steps away from the new Parramatta light rail line opposite James Ruse and Robin Thomas Reserves.

Designed by award-winning architecture firm Turner, the building will feature a raised podium, elevated courtyard garden, laneways and ample retail and hospitality frontages for commercial tenants.
The outdoor podium levels will include laneway eateries, elevated gardens, specialty retailers, flexible workplaces, a fitness centre and medical practice which will be connected to the surrounding parkland.
Deicorp executive manager Rob Furolo said the architecturally designed building will be a unique addition to the Western Sydney locale.

'We are delighted the construction of the Cosmopolitan will address the strong demand for well-built and well designed apartments close to jobs and public transport,' he said.
He added that the nearly 6,000 square metres of commercial and retail space will create vibrancy and convenience for future residents as well as the broader community.
'We have partnered with one of Australia's leading architecture studios Turner to create this groundbreaking building that has been designed to give its residents and visitors the sense of being surrounded by a garden while enjoying an urban village feel.'
Turner's design for the project was chosen by an expert design panel and approved by the Sydney Central City Planning Panel.
Cosmopolitan will be less than a minute walk to the nearest light rail stop and less than a 10 minute walk to Parramatta train station and ferry wharf.
With views over the park and river, Cosmopolitan will include one, two and three-bedrooms apartments including split level residences.

Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Julie Goodwin has issued a fiery statement after receiving a deluge of comments about her appearance. The former MasterChef Australia star, 54, addressed concerns about her dramatic weight loss in an update on Instagram on Thursday, seemingly prompted by feedback on her most recent post. 'Thanks to all who have expressed concern about my health. I am well and I am within the healthy weight range. My doctor concurs,' Goodwin wrote. 'For those who have asked me for advice or tips, I am not qualified to provide this. It's advice that should be sought from your trusted health professionals, not from me. I'm a TV cook. 'For those who want to comment on the shape and condition of my body please, do it on your own page because I'm tired of reading it. For that reason I'll be turning off comments on this post. 'For all of us can we please find something more interesting to talk about. Can we please model kindness to our kids and grandkids and can we please leave this obsession with people's looks back in the 1980s. Peace and love.' Goodwin's recent post sparked a number of comments from followers. Picture: Instagram She found fame when she won the first season of the cooking series.

In 2016, Goodwin opened up about accidentally losing 20kgs, pointing out it was no cause for celebration. 'It's not that I've gone on some stupid, sad diet and dropped a whole heap of weight in a hurry. It's not anything like that,' she told Women's Weekly at the time. 'I am running a business and running around like a mad thing, and sometimes I forget to eat, none of which is healthy.' After her MasterChef win, Goodwin went on to establish a successful career as a cookbook author, columnist, and regular TV contributor, but later admitted she had struggled with her mental health amid her rising fame. She spoke about it on the Head Game podcast in March, describing it as going 'right down to the bottom of the well'. The TV personality and author at an event last year. Picture:'I had made a decision that everybody, everybody, my colleagues, my children, my husband, my family, everybody would be better off if I just racked off and let them all be,' Goodwin said of her battle with depression and anxiety. 'I just had nothing left. It's a sickness, right, severe depression is a serious illness,' she explained. 'The only way I could shut off my brain late at night, was to drink wine, so I was doing too much of that. So I was self-medicating, and that's a terrible, terrible way to sleep, because you wake up with your heart hammering.' Fortunately, as Goodwin recently told Nine Honey, she's now doing much better – but admitted it was an ongoing effort. 'I'm good, I really am. But it's a concentrated effort to remain good, you know.' Originally published as MasterChef star Julie Goodwin's fiery statement over body remarks: 'Tired of it'
