Schofields, an exciting new suburb in north-west Sydney, welcomes the addition of Jasmine, Schofield Gardens. This astutely planned residential development, located at the corner of Isla Street and Manchester Drive, is part of an award-winning new community in the fast-growing City of Blacktown.

Created by respected Sydney property developer ALAND, Jasmine offers a combination of lifestyle, amenity, and unparalleled connectivity, setting a new benchmark for high-quality living in an area predicted to see continued capital growth.

A first-home buyer’s top choice

Expected to welcome its first residents in the second quarter of 2025, Jasmine contains 405 meticulously designed apartments. A perfect synergy of quality, value for money, and location, Jasmine appeals equally to first-home buyers and savvy investors who appreciate the development’s unique offerings.  

Scott Rudgley, head of sales at ALAND, highlights the value Jasmine offers to first-home buyers:

“Jasmine offers a rare opportunity for first-home buyers to get into the Sydney property market,” he says. “Many buyers have saved up to $52,000 in duties as they qualify for government assistance, including no or reduced transfer duty, no Lenders Mortgage Insurance, and the first-home owner grant.

“To date, first-home buyers have accounted for over 50% of all our sales at Jasmine – a thriving, secure, and established community surrounded by nature and with great connectivity to the Norwest Metro, Schofields Train Station, and minutes from Schofields Village.

“This multiple award-winning masterplan has shown demonstrated performance with annualised capital growth of 6.3% and is poised for significant growth over the next few years.”

A smart investment

According to the Urban Development Institute of Australia, new home completions in NSW have hit a nine-year low and are now 40% below the target of 75,000 new homes set by the National Housing Accord. Anticipated interest rate cuts, even modest ones, will accelerate demand for new housing across Sydney, putting further pressure on available stock.

Off the back of the city’s continuing housing shortage and a strong employment market, industry experts forecast a bounce-back in Sydney apartment prices, with KPMG Australia predicting an 11.1% spike between now and 2026.

With Stage 1 close to completion, Jasmine presents a significant opportunity not only for investment but also to become part of a thriving, well-connected community. A rare offering – especially in a market navigating Sydney’s ongoing housing shortage.

So, for those looking towards the future, whether you are a first-home buyer or a property investor, these apartments are a smart choice, assuring growth potential and fostering quality living.

High-quality, sustainable homes

Designed by Place Studio architects, these Jasmine residences reflect contemporary elegance, marked by expansive living areas illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows.

Kitchens, complete with Fisher & Paykel appliances, GROHE tapware, and porcelain stone benchtops, underscore the development's commitment to quality and style. Moreover, the thoughtful orientation of living areas ensures great views and ample natural sunlight, enhancing the overall living experience.

Sustainable living is a foundational principle of the Jasmine masterplan, demonstrated through energy-efficient design elements like solar panels, acoustic wall systems, and smart energy metering. As a resident, you can rest assured that your home is beautiful, functional, and future-proofed.

Extensive on-site amenities further enhance the living experience, fostering an active, engaged community within the Jasmine precinct.

These include landscaped rooftop gardens, which provide an oasis of relaxation, and a communal BBQ area and a children’s playground on the ground floor level.

Security and convenience are also paramount, with all residents enjoying secure underground parking with storage cages, plus high-security features such as keyless locks and swipe panels in the lifts, and dedicated bicycle storage in parking areas.

Location, location, location

Strategically located within walking distance of the Schofields train station, bus links, and a local shopping centre, Jasmine offers easy access to everyday needs and lifestyle options.

Families will find a good range of primary, independent, and secondary schools are nearby, plus easy access to TAFE NSW and Western Sydney University campuses for older students.

Schofields is a high-growth region with multiple employment opportunities, excellent health facilities such as Blacktown Hospital and Mt Druitt Hospital and easy commuting distance to both Parramatta (25 minutes away) and the Sydney CBD (a 50-minute drive).

This connectivity, coupled with the tranquil setting surrounded by natural bushland, positions Jasmine as a uniquely appealing residential option.

One-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments are now selling, with one-bedroom residences priced from $510,000.

With Stage 1 almost 90% sold out, ALAND has just announced the final release of the apartments in the masterplan which will be ready to move in mid-2025.
