As Sydney buyers seek brand new homes and all the lifestyle benefits and amenity that they desire, areas such as Norwest are becoming a magnet.
Walkability, parklands, and transport including the Norwest Metro, are among the features adding to the appeal of this leafy Hills suburb.
“Norwest has everything you need for your everyday lifestyle at your doorstep,” says Sekisui House Australia Sales Manager David Lee.
“You have surrounding parklands, retail centres, transport hubs and employment hubs only a short walk away. It’s the lifestyle and connectivity that really resonates with buyers.”
A new development, ZESTE – which is the final stage in The Orchards community masterplan created by Sekisui House – is now underway to give people an opportunity to make Norwest home.
ZESTE features a collection of 209 one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, all with oversized floorplans to ensure they are suitable for long-term living.
“The layouts offer a home-like style; we wanted to create apartments that felt like you were in a home. If you are up high, you will have stunning views of the mountains and Norwest Lake,” says Mr Lee.
ZESTE is an opportunity for Sydney buyers to find a generously sized apartment in the city's northwest.
Everyday luxury – setting a new standard
ZESTE has been architecturally designed by architectural firm Rothelowman, aimed to serve the needs of discerning buyers with everyday luxury front of mind.
Each spacious apartment features Fisher & Paykel or Miele kitchen appliances, high-end finishes, lots of natural materials, and double-glazed windows.
Some have the addition of a scullery for easy entertaining.
“ZESTE offers the largest floor plans in the whole masterplan,” says Mr Lee.
“Compared to its competitors in the area, it offers luxury finishes and premium appliances that will last a lifetime,” he adds.
He adds that buyers can select from two colour schemes, Sunrise (light) and Twilight (dark) for a limited time, so that they can tailor their apartment to their personal style.
Each home at ZESTE is designed with a large floorplan that makes the most of the area's prime position.
Even more room to live and grow
All apartments at ZESTE feature spacious floorplans and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
However, for buyers seeking even greater space and the best possible views, there is a small selection of just 11 four-bedroom Sky Homes.
“The Sky Homes are the first and only collection available in The Orchards masterplan,” says Mr Lee. “They offer oversized interiors and a range of bedroom types.”
The four-bedroom Skyhomes are the ideal choice for buyers looking for ever more space.
Relaxation and recreation at your doorstep
Beyond the apartment walls, ZESTE residents will have access to an impressive lineup of on-site amenities including landscaped gardens and courtyards, and an outdoor lagoon pool with poolside cabana beds.
“ZESTE residents can access the residents only Communal Building where they can enjoy kitchen facilities, seating and private rooms for studying or working from home,” says Mr Lee.
In a further benefit, they can also make the most of The Orchards’ community amenities which include further BBQ and dining spaces, an indoor heated pool, gymnasium and function area.
Premium amenities like an outdoor lagoon pool offer even more lifestyle value to buyers.
A rare opportunity in an established neighbourhood
When buyers visit ZESTE, they will find the local area filled with green spaces, plenty of walking and cycling paths, cafes and great everyday amenity.
“You can walk to the Norwest Business Park, Norwest Marketown is also a short 8-minute walk, Castle Hill Country Club is just up the road and Castle Towers Shopping is only a 10-minute drive away,” says Mr Lee.
The well-established area is also home to plenty of popular restaurants such as Meat & Wine Co. and Italian Street Kitchen.
For healthcare, the Lakeview Private Hospital is also very close by.
Green spaces and walking paths have been expertly integrated into ZESTE's design.
The final instalment in a thriving community
ZESTE is the final instalment of The Orchards and since its launch in October 2025, it has already attracted over $51 million in sales.
Prices at ZESTE start from $715,000. Construction of ZESTE is commencing later in 2026 and completion expected in 2028.
“Residents will move into a completed and established community,” says Mr Lee.
“They will have every lifestyle benefit at their fingertips the moment they move in.”
