43-storey housing tower planned for $880m Parramatta Metro development

The NSW government has announced plans for a 43-storey housing tower as part of the $880 million Parramatta Metro development. This tower, located near Parramatta Metro station, will feature 470 new residential homes and 500 student accommodation units. The construction of the station is set to begin in mid-2027, following the completion of tunnelling earlier this year.

The proposal includes four buildings, ranging from 24 to 43 storeys high, which will contribute to the 470 residential dwellings and 500 student accommodation units in the heart of Parramatta. The NSW government aims to create a well-connected community with good access to jobs, services, and amenities. This project is part of the larger Sydney Metro West railway line, which spans 24 kilometers from Sydney CBD to Parramatta CBD.

Other developments along the route, such as the Bays West precinct, also feature housing plans that will benefit from the Sydney Metro West line.
