Big news for Western Sydney and even bigger for Penrith.

With international flights now on sale from Western Sydney International Airport, including daily routes to Singapore starting this November, the region is stepping onto the global stage.

For East Side Quarter, this is more than just convenience, it’s a major shift in connectivity, opportunity, and long-term value.

Closer access to international travel, growing infrastructure, and increased global attention all point to one thing:

Penrith is evolving…fast.

As ESQ continues to take shape, it’s perfectly positioned to benefit from this momentum, offering residents not just a home, but a connected lifestyle in one of Australia’s most exciting growth corridors.

The future of Western Sydney is here and ESQ is right at the centre of it.

Hi everyone, Matt Twohill here from James Place with our March construction update for East Side Quarter.

Despite the wet weather, the team has continued pushing forward and we’re now moving into an exciting new phase of the build. Across the basement levels, we’ve begun erecting columns, structural walls, lift pits, and the bases for the fire stairs. The bottom core is now complete, which means we’re ready for Building L to begin rising from the ground up.

Looking ahead, once we get some clearer weather, the team will continue installing columns across the balance of the site. In the area where I’m standing, we’ll also begin constructing the ground floor slab for Building L, marking the transition from basement works to the structure above ground.

Over the coming months you’ll start to see the structure taking shape, with more columns rising through the basement levels and the building progressively moving upward.

It’s an exciting time for the project and we’re looking forward to sharing more updates with you as the build continues to progress.

Stay tuned for our next construction update soon.

Another big month ahead with Matt and the crew at ESQ Stage Four!

After wrapping up a huge month of basement works, we’re now gearing up to commence crane installation and begin work on the internal piles that will support the structure from the inside out.

It’s the final push below ground before we rise...kicking off the ground floor and building vertically through the rest of the structure.

Let’s go, team! The next chapter starts now!

A proud moment for our Development Director, Matthew Twohill from

Piling rigs are on site, Stage 4 piling is complete, and the capping beam has just been poured, bringing it all together at East Side Quarter.

Wahoo! The foundations are in, and the future is looking solid.

“Penrith is on the map — and ESQ is leading the way.” — Michael Malak, Project Manager, East Side Quarter.

As the Project Manager for the ESQ development, I’ve had the privilege of working across both the development and build teams, from setting the methodology and programme to handing over homes to their new owners.

I was genuinely excited when I first saw the masterplan for East Side Quarter. It wasn’t just another project — it was a vision—a precinct with lifestyle, convenience, connection, and scale. Today, I can confidently say that ESQ has become a destination for people looking for a new home and those coming into Penrith from outside the area.

We’re building more than just apartments. We’re delivering on a vision for what Western Sydney living can look like, and it’s only getting better. If you’ve been considering moving or looking for a smart investment in a fast-growing region, Perle at East Side Quarter is a place to watch.

Progress from the Ground Up – A Quick Update from East Side Quarter

We officially commenced works under our first Construction Certificate on July 21st, and while the weather’s thrown us a few curveballs, I’m pleased to say we’re tracking ahead of programme.

Yes — we've had a solid dose of the builder’s curse (three weeks of rain in the first four), but thanks to a strong team effort and additional resources on site, we’ve kept momentum going. Extra machinery has been brought in to clean and prep the site, ensuring we stay on schedule.

Our 14-week early works programme, focused on basement construction, is already a couple of weeks ahead. Behind us, we’ve just completed 20-metre-deep piling to support the upcoming 14-storey structure, and the steel capping beam is now in place, readying us for the next excavation phase.

In short:
✅ Wet weather delays are being successfully mitigated
✅ The team is performing well
✅ The site is holding strong
✅ We're on track — and even ahead

This marks an exciting chapter for PERLE at East Side Quarter — a project that continues to gain momentum in the heart of Western Sydney.

If you're considering investing or buying into PERLE, now’s a great time to get in touch.
