Buying off the plan usually means trusting a render. At Coronation Property’s Mason & Main in Merrylands, the final release offers something different: completed apartments, residents already in place and a ground floor that’s trading every day.

Pricing puts the remaining homes within reach of many first home buyers. One-bedroom apartments start from $623,000 and two-bedroom apartments from $785,000, both under the $1.5 million Sydney cap for the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme, which lets eligible buyers enter the market with a five per cent deposit and no Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Homes priced at $800,000 or less may also qualify for a full transfer duty exemption under the NSW First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme.

The real point of difference sits at street level. Coronation has delivered a 9,000 sqm retail and dining precinct with more than 25 businesses, anchored by Merrylands’ first Eat Street, an outdoor dining strip that takes its cue from Asian night markets. Iftar Lebanese, Self Raised, Butterfield Cookies and Lemonova are among the names drawing locals in. Western Sydney’s first One Playground brings boutique fitness, while Chemist Warehouse, Petbarn, Basement Car Wash and Hilltop Childcare handle the everyday. Beauty and grooming are covered by Professional Laser Clinic, Glowave, Haus of Cosmetics, Barber Workshop and ProfessioNAIL.

The architecture by Woods Bagot ties the precinct back to the suburb’s past. Brickwork references the local brickworks and aqueduct, while arched windows, traditional shopfront detailing and alfresco dining along the street edges nod to Merrylands’ long tradition of neighbourhood shopping.

Above the podium, the focus turns private. Residents share a heated outdoor pool, gym, landscaped gardens, barbecue areas, private dining rooms and a rooftop lounge with views towards Parramatta and the CBD. Inside, apartments feature open-plan living, outdoor space, Fisher & Paykel appliances, built-in wardrobes and ducted air conditioning, with some layouts including a separate multipurpose room for a study or guest space.

Beyond the front door, Merrylands Station is 350 metres away, and Woolworths, Coles, Aldi and more than 200 specialty stores sit directly across the road. Coronation Managing Director Joe Nahas has described the project as bringing much-needed, high-amenity housing to the Merrylands community.

For buyers, the appeal is simple: what you see on inspection day is what you get.
