The complex is part of state-wide initiative to mitigate urban sprawl and provide medium density housing solutions in established areas with good transport links.

Now Living general manager Paul Spadanuda said the apartments could be a housing option for first home buyers as an affordable entry into the housing market with prices starting at $255,000.

“The Cambria project provides an opportunity for people to get into their own home, but still live in a thriving community that is well connected for work and play,” he said.

“The location in Clarkson is well connected to public transport and sought after amenities, making it a great option for a medium density complex.”

The Metro North-West Development Assessment Panel approved the $2 million development in early 2017, with conditions about landscaping and parking.
