Another 2000 houses will be added to Wyndham, with a New York-inspired estate about to be launched in Point Cook.
Upper Point Cook – which is bound by Hacketts Road, the Princes Highway and Sneydes Road – will be declared open by Satterley Property Group, with blocks for sale, in October.
The estate will be built next to the East Werribee employment precinct.
The land for the estate was sold by the state government last year to help fund a diamond freeway interchange at Sneydes Road.
Satterley state general manager Jack Hoffmann said the 2000-lot estate would be inspired by the Big Apple.
It will have small pockets reminiscent of those found in Manhattan and a Bronx-style urban plaza with basketball courts.
The estate’s street and park names will be based on parts of New York.
“The branding of Satterley’s Upper Point Cook project is centred around another level of living,’’ Mr Hoffmann said.
‘‘It’s about having the room families need to thrive and grow, and the New York theme is a fun way to create a point of difference.’’
Once completed, the 125-hectare estate will be home to about 5000 people.
It will include 13 hectares of open space and wetlands, and playgrounds, sports ovals and convenience stores.
Upper Point Cook is the third new estate announced for Wyndham since the start of July. As reported by
Star Weekly, 4000 houses will be built at west Wyndham in Lend Lease’s Harpley estate.
Another 7000 houses will be built as part of the Jubilee estate bordering Ballan Road in Wyndham Vale.
The state government is also seeking expressions of interest from companies wanting to develop the first stage of East Werribee, which will eventually provide 7000 homes.
Construction of Upper Point Cook’s display village will start in July next year and is expected to be completed in 2016.
