Burwood proving extremely popular!

Open spaces

Why are people falling in love with Burwood?

Despite predictions of a 2020 housing downturn, July’s listings in The Promenade Homes precinct registered a lot of interest and moved quickly in the presale. 

Of the 34 homes released, over 50 per cent were snatched up in the first week by buyers who are dying to call Burwood Brickworks home. 

Astute buyers have picked Burwood as a place to be, and the focus on first-class sustainability and luxury modern living make the townhomes at Burwood Brickworks the opportunity that no one wants to miss out on!

 

Convenient location with spectacular surrounds

Burwood is an up and coming suburb for those in their late 20s and young families drawn here by everything that the local suburb has to offer. 

A convenient distance from the city with a number of transport options means Burwood is home to a large number of professionals, managers and other office workers. 

Residents can enjoy their own thriving locale by exploring the surrounding nature reserves and embracing a dynamic outdoor lifestyle. 

Burwood is also home to a great range of eateries. 

Your tastebuds will be spoilt for choice whether it’s a post-workout brunch with friends or a romantic dinner out. 

There is certainly no shortage of things to do in Burwood! 

Although the number of couples with children has dipped slightly in recent years, the number of couples moving to the area and the number of local schools within 10 minutes of Burwood Brickworks shows that Burwood may be picked as a great place to start a family.

 

Burwood is incredibly diverse 

Almost half of households speak a language other than English, with many first- and second-generation Australians calling the local area home. 

Burwood really is a vibrant, welcoming melting pot that you will love to call home.

Deakin University at the heart of Burwood is bringing a lot of students to the local area with a quarter of all residents studying at university. 

This provides a promising rental market if you’re looking to expand your property portfolio. 

 

Sustainable community making a difference

Burwood Brickworks is a sustainable community that has been built for your future and the future of the planet.

The sustainable design is ahead of its time. 

Rigorous and ambitious design and building practices mean that the Burwood Brickworks precinct has been awarded a 6 Start Green Star Communities rating, representing world leadership.

Solar panels are installed on every roof for renewable energy, and master switches for your energy-efficient lighting and appliances make it easy for you to control your energy output.

Water-efficient showers and taps come as standard, making these homes great for the planet and easy on your back pocket. 

We’re very proud to be one of only a handful of developments that has achieved this certification, but Burwood Brickworks gets even greener.

 

Living Building Challenge® certification

Our retail precinct aims to become the world’s most sustainable shopping centre by achieving  full Living Building Challenge® certification.

Globally recognised as the most rigorous standard of sustainability in the built environment, the Living Building Challenge® principals mean that Burwood Brickworks captures, treats and recycles all  rainwater on site, uses 100% on- and off-site renewable energy to power the centre and visitor’s electric cars, amongst other initiatives. 

20% of the building is dedicated to agriculture, with a unique urban farm taking pride of place on the rooftop, while the northern facade of potted citrus trees designed by Joost

Bakker creates a cooler, more welcoming retail hub. 

Closing the loop on food waste, all food waste generated on site is composted and feeds the fresh fruit and veg from our rooftop garden.

The Living Building Challenge® standard sets a high bar for us, but when it comes to securing a sustainable future for generations to come, we’re proud to be helping our customers become the change they want to see in the world.
