Property giant Crown Group has officially launched its major $1 billion “Eastlakes Live” residential precinct.

With apartments constructed above Eastlakes Shopping Centre, six kilometres from Sydney’s CBD, the residential and entertainment quarter will offer a total of 534 residences.

Crown Group chief executive Iwan Sunito says the project generated a lot of interest before the official marketing campaign began.

“We’ve built on the strength and diversity of the existing community with a powerful mixed-use design,” Sunito said.

Crown Group partnered with architects Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp to create the retail and residential precinct.

Features include landscaped gardens, rooftop lounge, water features, and a 25-metre infinity pool.

ABS data showed the Eastlakes- Mascot area was the fifth fastest growing region of New South Wales, increasing by 7.9 per cent or 1904 people to a total of 26,099.

“This is the cornerstone of the rejuvenation of Eastlakes Town Centre with more than $1 billion behind it, and one that will drive continued growth for the community as a whole,” the Group said in a release.

The developer’s other projects include a 331 apartment building in Sydney’s Waterloo, named Waterfall, Sydney’s $13 billion Green Square renewal, a 29 level residence in Parramatta called “V” designed by Allen Jack + Cottier architects, Crown Group’s $250 million “Manhattan-style” Clarence Street tower in Sydney’s CBD, and a new Melbourne based development.

Construction of Eastlakes Live’s first stage is scheduled for completion in 2020.
