Welcome to Thornton Central

Welcome to Thornton Central in Penrith. We are proud to be involved in this truly ground breaking project.

situated just metres from the 7th largest Westfield in nsW, and surrounded by a variety of over 1,000 shops, thornton central is purposefully designed to be penrith’s new exciting hub. together with an approved major train station upgrade, thornton central is the cornerstone of penrith’s cBD expansion.

St Hilliers and First Point Projects’ plans are nothing short of breathtaking – cafés, restaurants, a gymnasium, a full line supermarket, a hotel, commercial space and several stunningly designed residential buildings by award-winning architect firm DKO Architecture. Interiors have been designed by celebrated interior designer Jonathan Richards from SJB Interiors.

Directly adjacent to the train station with express trains taking only 23 minutes to Parramatta, and 49 minutes to the Sydney CBD, Thornton Central will be the catalyst to Penrith’s much acclaimed economic and population growth. As proven in Chatswood, major train station upgrades incorporating retail, commercial and residential development can lead to an extraordinary transformation and unprecedented growth in the area.

We are proud to once again present our Gold Partners with the exclusive opportunity to be a part of the very first pre-release of Thornton Central. This is what LINK is all about – we are at the forefront of ground breaking transformation stories. As you will all agree, the prices of this very first release are well-below the market rates currently charged elsewhere in Sydney.

The following is a sneak-peek into Thornton Central. This information pack is intended for our Gold Partners’ internal use only and is subject to change. Please keep the contents strictly confidential.

pricing estimates:

1 bedroom apartment from $295,0002 bedroom apartment from $429,0003 bedroom apartment from $496,000

The first stage will be released soon to VIP’s only, with an anticipated public release is in mid 2015.

Yours faithfully

Basil KlevanskyManaging Director, LINK

8 reasons to invest in Thornton Central

North West of Sydney is a clear focus of NSW Government planning, in alleviating the housing under-supply in Sydney. This is evident in strong dwelling approvals in recent years.

Penrith is one of the most affordable areas to buy in Sydney. This is enhanced by strong rental growth of 6% since 2009, and a suggested 5% rental yield on Thornton Central.

Penrith is one of only three strategic regional cities in Sydney, playing a major role in growing our health, education, business and recreation offerings.

Thornton Central represents an increasingly limited opportunity to invest in a fast growing strategic hub, adjacent to a major train station and the 7th largest Westfield in NSW.

Government investments in Western Sydney, including the $14.9bn WestConnex and expansion of the Penrith health and education precinct.

Penrith offers a rich array of everyday amenities, including a major train station, 1,000+ retail shops, schools and universities, dining, health and wellness.

Penrith is only 20km to Sydney’s 2nd airport at Badgerys Creek, which is set to drive both investments in infrastructure and create 35,000 jobs by 2035.

Penrith is 80% green space. With the Blue Mountains and Nepean River on your doorstep, Penrith is ideal for those seeking an active lifestyle.
