Build to Rent creator and operator HOME has launched its Home Parramatta Build to Rent development located in Sydney’s second CBD, in the heart of Parramatta. Situated at 116 Macquarie Street, the 47-level tower comprises 428 apartments.
Offering hotel-inspired services, premium amenities, and a vibrant community and events program, Home Parramatta is now leasing. Apartment move-ins commenced in early February.
HOME currently houses over 2,600 residents across three successful Victorian locations: Home Docklands, Home Southbank, and Home Richmond with upcoming developments in Albert Park (VIC), St Leonards (NSW), and now Parramatta. Each HOME community is purpose built for renters, designed to foster connection, comfort, and security.
“We are elated by the response to HOME Parramatta. Leasing momentum has been immediate, and after many years of meticulous planning, the response from renters has been extraordinary, with strong enquiry and site tours heavily booked.
“We have received well over 200 applications in the first few weeks, reflecting significant demand. Home Parramatta builds on the success of our established communities in Victoria with an experience we have continuously refined through resident feedback, proven by strong resident satisfaction and recognised through multiple industry awards.
“We have adapted that proven model for Sydney and created a premium rental offering specifically for Parramatta’s lifestyle, connectivity and growing multi-cultural community. At HOME, we have always designed around the resident experience – service, safety, and the quality of our apartments and amenities are the foundation. The success of our communities comes down to the details: a high standard of finish, high standard of on-site resident service, wellness programs and curated events that bring people together.”

The site is highly connected, serviced by the new Sydney Metro and light rail, offering seamless connectivity.
“We specifically chose to locate in Parramatta as our first NSW location because it represents the future of Sydney. As the city’s second CBD, Parramatta is connected by major transport links and surrounded by world-class amenities including Parramatta Square and Westfield, alongside leading educational and arts institutions.
“It is already an established residential precinct, and we wanted to be as close as possible to the infrastructure and energy of the city’s core. Parramatta has it all! Parramatta’s dynamic retail and corporate hub, combined with its strong sense of community, makes it an ideal location for our Build to Rent model.
“We are confident that Greater Western Sydney will embrace our vision for modern, connected living. As part of our commitment to local connections, we will be partnering with nearby businesses to promote and support the area through our Home Club loyalty program and a calendar of community events.”

With community at the heart of HOME’s purpose, Home Parramatta delivers a thoughtfully designed program of resident experiences — from group pottery classes and cooking demonstrations to sound meditations, movie nights, resident drinks and cultural and sporting events. Each initiative is carefully curated to bring people together to learn, share, and build meaningful connections.
With flexible lease terms from six months and longer-term options up to six years along with a simple, fast application process. HOME provides greater security of tenure and flexibility than traditional renting. HOME will continue their partnership with Homes for Homes to help address Australia’s homelessness and housing crisis.
Through this initiative, residents are invited to make a voluntary annual donation equal to 0.1% of their rent, which HOME will match dollar-for-dollar, directly supporting the creation of safe and secure housing for people experiencing homelessness or housing stress. Apartments are available for lease now from $590 per week.
