THORNTON CENTRAL PRECINCT
Directly adjacent to the train station, just metres from the 7th largest Westfield in NSW and surrounded by more than 1000 retail stores, Thornton Central has been purposefully designed to be Penrith’s most exciting hub, and the cornerstone of the area’s flourishing CBD expansion.
In conjunction with joint venture partners St Hilliers, Thornton Central has seen the transformation of North Penrith into a vibrant, urban village style precinct with beautifully appointed 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and in excess of 4000 residents currently in-situ.
Thornton Central has set the standard for similar residential projects across Western Sydney with sophisticated and refined design incorporating communal public areas, surrounded by an array of green spaces creating a new, more liveable, community.
Furthermore, the proposed retail and commercial sites have been designed to feature world-class amenities including a gymnasium, medical centre, childcare, supermarket, retail outlets and eateries.
