ERA is transforming Newcastle’s skyline, set to be a contemporary landmark where architectural legacy meets a bold new vision for urban living.

Construction has commenced on the two iconic towers of 15 and 14 storeys, comprising 281 beautifully appointed residences of one, two, and three bedroom apartments.

50% of ERA is now sold, and it’s easy to see why, with an unrivalled city location, Newcastle’s best and most extensive amenity, and architecturally designed apartments.

“Quality, wellness, security, convenience – ERA Newcastle showcases GWH’s significant research into what our residents most desire,” said Jonathan Craig, managing director of GWH, the multi-award-winning local developer behind ERA.

“We understand how people want to enjoy their personal and shared spaces while maximising the sweeping outlook across the city, harbour, and coastline.”

A prime position in the heart of Newcastle

Positioned in the thriving west end of Newcastle’s CBD, ERA is an easy stroll to the harbour, the Interchange, and Newcastle’s best restaurants and retail. Darby Street, Honeysuckle, and the beach are also just minutes away, placing you in the heart of it all.

Newcastle is known for being a harbourside city with a stunning coastline of beaches, and ERA is close to these natural sites, including: 

• King Edward Park (1.6 km) 
• Bogey Hole Swimming pool (2.3 km)
• Newcastle Beach (2.7 km) 
• Nobbys Beach (2.9 km)

ERA Newcastle also offers close proximity to public transport and essentials, such as:

• Newcastle interchange train station (1 km) with two major train lines that connect to Maitland, Singleton, Scone, and Dungog. The second train line connects residents to the Central Coast and Sydney.
• Queens Wharf Ferry terminal (2km) takes you across the bay to Stockton. 
• Marketown Shopping Centre (400m) with major supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths, as well as Big W, Officeworks, and Dan Murphy's.

Architecture rooted in history, designed for longevity

Inspired by Newcastle’s historic sandstone buildings, ERA’s design anchors itself in the city’s layered past.

A refined palette of concrete and masonry contributes a grounded, tactile presence at street level, enriched by thoughtful landscaping that softens and enhances the urban realm.

Above, the towers curve gently toward the sky, wrapped in expansive glazing that floods interiors with natural light and captures sweeping views across sea, sky, and city.

“There’s so much history in Newcastle, compelling us to design something that will stand the test of time and leave a legacy for its residents,” said Rob Mirams, partner at Fender Katsalidis.

“That opportunity to connect, build community, and enjoy life. It’s something that we all desire.”

Resort-style amenity that elevates daily life

Era’s amenities redefine modern convenience, elevating everyday living through spaces designed for wellness, leisure, and community. 

A resort-style pool deck sits above the podium, as well as a dry sauna wellness studio perfect for yoga or pilates.

With a fully equipped gym facility, ERA Newcastle residents can leave the gym membership behind. 

Those who love to entertain will favour the rooftop terraces that crown each tower, offering more than 2,000 sqm of communal space, from private bookable zones to BBQ areas framed by breathtaking 360-degree views.

Every detail at ERA has truly elevated not just to enhance comfort, but security and peace of mind, with swipe access lobbies, secure video intercom, three lifts per tower, EV charging stations, end-of-trip facilities, and lockable bike storage.

Light-filled residences crafted for everyday living

Inside, flowing floorplans and floor-to-ceiling windows embrace the coastal light. 

Spacious living and dining zones allow residents to unwind privately or entertain effortlessly, while deep balconies extend the home outward, inviting year-round enjoyment of Newcastle’s natural and urban vistas. 

With three kitchen schemes to choose from: Oasis, Verdelho, and White, each residence offers a sense of personal expression layered with timeless design.

Each contemporary kitchen features premium SMEG appliances seamlessly integrated within polytec joinery and silica-free natural concrete stone benchtops, while water-efficient brushed nickel tapware and undermount sinks balance sustainability and practicality with a sleek aesthetic.

With Latent Defect Insurance on the project, you will have the added assurance that your residence will be delivered to the highest standards.
