Galileo Funds' Palisade apartment development in Sutherland is more like a resort

Residents of Sutherland Shire already tend to believe they live in “God’s country”. A new development with publicity proclaiming “where every day feels like a vacation” appears on track to boost that regional pride. Palisade is an eight-storey, resort-style development of 197 apartments from developer Galileo Funds. Designed by KannFinch and UP Architects, Palisade has luxury amenities including a 20-metre pool, lush landscaping, outdoor daybeds, private gym and poolside clubhouse for residents to use as a function space.

The high-end holiday vibe continues inside, with interiors by Neil Bradford Design. Open layouts maximise space, while floor-to-ceiling glass lets in the light and terraces offer private outdoor sanctuary. Buyers will be offered a choice of light or dark muted colour palettes, with finishes including marble-look Caesarstone benchtops, splashbacks and islands, plus timber veneers, marbled porcelain bathrooms and Smeg appliances.

Paul Marshall, of Galileo, says Miranda has had limited new development over the past decade. “This, coupled with the refurbishment of Westfield, has created strong demand from local purchasers,” he says. Existing residents of Sutherland Shire are Palisade’s primary target market. “A large portion of purchasers are downsizing from large homes. We wanted to create a relaxing area where they could entertain as they would have in their previous homes.”

Palisade is 200 metres from Westfield Miranda and about one kilometre from Miranda station. Previous projects by Galileo include The Residence in Hyde Park and Metro Residences in Chatswood. A display suite opens this weekend at the corner of Kingsway and Sylvania Road in Miranda, ahead of the planned VIP sales launch on August 6.

For more than 30 years, Shearwater Landing was a sand mining site, providing sand used for concrete in buildings around the city. The land overlooking the ocean at Greenhills beach, part of the Cronulla stretch of beach, is on its way to becoming a new coastal community. The final vacant blocks were released this month. The precinct sets strict building standards relating to home designs, materials, setbacks, facades and landscaping.

Pathways will provide easy access to Greenhills beach, and residents will have access to 90 hectares of public open space. Shearwater Landing is 30 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, 2.5 kilometres to Cronulla train station and 250 metres to buses.
