Going, going, gone: Record numbers of apartments sold at launch

Time is ticking for homebuyers wanting to get their foot in the door of the Elevate Hume Place development, with multiple apartments sold at launch to both local and international buyers.

Positioned strategically above the newly opened Crows Nest Metro Station, Elevate Hume Place by developer Third.i Group, alongside joint venture partner Phoenix Property Investors, generated significant interest from both local and international buyers.

Designed by Woods Bagot, Elevate Hume Place features 130 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments that combine modern aesthetics with convenience providing residents with seamless access to Sydney’s CBD in just seven minutes and Chatswood in four minutes, making it one of the most connected addresses in Sydney.

Third.i co-founder Luke Berry said the project has received over 6,000 leads with over 400 appointments to date, with this unprecedented demand and strong interest not only reflecting the quality of the apartments but also the increasing demand for convenient, transit-oriented living in Sydney's dynamic real estate market.

“We are thrilled with the strong sales results at launch for Elevate Hume Place, this achievement highlights the growing appetite for contemporary living that prioritises accessibility and connectivity,” Luke said. 

“The design, amenities, demographic, and prime location of Elevate Hume Place have attracted a diverse range of local and international buyers, from young professionals and first home buyers to investors and downsizers, all seeking the perfect blend of urban convenience and community charm.”

JLL’s head of residential project sales Australia Freya Watson said the development's position to the Sydney Metro was a massive drawcard.

“Properties near metro stations often achieve a 20-30% price premium and attract high rental demand, which has contributed to the strong buyer interest," Freya said.

Among the international buyers, 25% were seeking residences for their children studying in Sydney and another 25% comprising Australian passport holders or permanent residents looking for personal stays. The remaining 50% are investment-driven buyers, predominantly from Singapore and Hong Kong, drawn by the project’s strong rental returns potential.

“The Metro is a huge draw for buyers, especially those who value or are accustomed to the convenience of public transport, with its prime location and quick access to the CBD," said Freya.

"The city views are also a major attraction, along with the abundance of schools and universities right on the doorstep."

Elevate Hume Place buyers will experience a perfect blend of connectivity, community, and the vibrant lifestyle that Crows Nest offers.

"In addition to direct metro access, residents will benefit from being close to Crows Nest Village, which provides a variety of lifestyle amenities," Luke said.

“The overwhelming interest underscores the demand for transit-oriented developments in Sydney, and we are proud to fulfil this need with Elevate Hume Place. 

"We encourage interested buyers to act swiftly."

A limited number of residences remain available at Elevate Hume Place, with prices starting from $970,000 to $12 million. Learn more here.
