A significant development opportunity in Western Sydney has been brought to market, with a 20,230sqm landholding at 88–92 Lansdowne Road, Orchard Hills set to be sold under instructions from the mortgagee in possession.
Located approximately 400 metres from the new Orchard Hills Metro Station, currently under construction as part of the Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport line, the five-acre property is being exclusively marketed by Bradfield International Real Estate's Thomas Mosca and Nick Estephen.
The property will be offered for sale via public auction on Friday, 27 November 2026, providing developers with an opportunity to secure a substantial single-title holding within a precinct earmarked for significant residential growth.
Positioned Within a Major Residential Transformation
Orchard Hills is emerging as an important part of Western Sydney's next phase of urban development, with the NSW Government progressing plans to transform the area surrounding the future Metro station into a connected residential and mixed-use community.
The revised Stage 1 Rezoning Proposal, exhibited between March and May 2026, identifies approximately 155 hectares for redevelopment, accommodating around 5,700 new homes, 2,100 jobs, a new town centre and almost 20 hectares of open space.
Proposed building heights across the wider precinct range from two to 25 storeys, reflecting the government's intention to establish a higher-density residential centre supported by new public transport infrastructure.
The NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure expects to finalise the rezoning proposal in late 2026.
For developers, the scale of the planned transformation places Orchard Hills among Western Sydney's significant emerging residential development precincts.
Five Acres with Residential Development Potential
The property comprises 20,230sqm across a single title, with the Revised Stage 1 Draft Indicative Layout Plan identifying potential for a mix of terraces and detached housing.
Under the proposed planning framework, the portion of the site fronting Lansdowne Road is designated for two-to-three-storey residential development, while the balance is identified for one-to-two-storey terraces and detached dwellings.
A comprehensive ecological assessment has also concluded that vegetation across the property does not meet the criteria for conservation value, supporting the potential for development across much of the holding, subject to relevant approvals.
The property additionally benefits from an existing lease to NBN Co for a communications tower, providing an established infrastructure tenancy on the site.
Bradfield International Real Estate Co-Founder and Director Thomas Mosca said the combination of emerging planning certainty, substantial land area and a mortgagee-directed sale distinguished the opportunity.
"Buyers have watched Orchard Hills for two years waiting for certainty. This campaign gives them three kinds at once: a draft layout plan that sets out terraces and detached homes across the site, an ecological report that points to the potential to develop most of it, and a vendor who must sell at auction," Mr Mosca said.
"Five acres on one title, 400 metres from the station, with the contract on the table from day one. It will be sold on the day."
Infrastructure Investment Underpins Long-Term Growth
The site's proximity to major transport infrastructure is another key attraction, placing future residents within walking distance of the planned Orchard Hills Metro Station.
The Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport line is expected to connect St Marys, Bradfield City Centre and Western Sydney International Airport, strengthening access across the region.
Beyond the Metro, the property is located approximately four kilometres from the M4 Motorway, seven kilometres from Penrith CBD, eight kilometres from Bradfield City Centre and 10 kilometres from Western Sydney International Airport.
The airport is scheduled to commence passenger operations on 25 October 2026, while the Metro connection is anticipated to open in or around 2027.
These major infrastructure projects are expected to play a central role in supporting population growth, employment and housing demand throughout Western Sydney.
Bradfield International Real Estate Co-Founder and Director Nick Estephen said the offering aligned with the NSW Government's broader housing objectives for the region.
"Penrith has a target of 8,400 new homes by 2029 and Orchard Hills is where the NSW Government is planning a town centre to help deliver them," Mr Estephen said.
"Holdings of this scale beside the station are tightly held, and a mortgagee auction is the cleanest way for the market to set the price."
Mortgagee Auction Set for November
With substantial land area, proximity to major infrastructure and potential residential development outcomes under the proposed planning framework, 88–92 Lansdowne Road represents a significant opportunity within the evolving Orchard Hills precinct.
The mortgagee-in-possession sale provides buyers with a defined auction process, with the contract of sale, ecological assessment and due diligence material available through the exclusive selling agents.
The property will be auctioned onsite on Friday, 27 November 2026 at 11:30am, with Jesse Davidson of AuctionWORKS appointed as auctioneer.
Sale terms include a 10% deposit and 42-day settlement, with inspections available by appointment.
The campaign is being managed exclusively by Thomas Mosca and Nick Estephen of Bradfield International Real Estate.
