TOGA's The Kensington Development: A New Standard in Residential Living in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs

Episode 67 Market Insights: Explore The Kensington: A Premium Residential Hub in Sydney’s East, Anthony Falas from TOGA Shares Key Insights for Buyers

In this exclusive interview with Anthony Falas, Director at TOGA, we explore the Kensington project—one of the company’s latest residential developments in Sydney's eastern suburbs. With its prime location near key institutions like the University of New South Wales, Prince of Wales Hospital, and Centennial Park, The Kensington is poised to become one of the most sought-after addresses in the area.

Unmatched Connectivity and Location


The Kensington development offers one of the most connected locations for residential projects in the region. Situated directly outside a light rail stop and just a short walk from the health precinct and UNSW, the project is perfectly positioned for both students, healthcare professionals, and city commuters. The proximity to Centennial Park further enhances the lifestyle offering, making it an ideal location for those seeking convenience and vibrant urban living.

A Broad Buyer Demographic


Falas discusses how the project has attracted a diverse range of buyers, including nurses, doctors, and parents purchasing for their children studying at UNSW. The development also appeals to local downsizers seeking more space and modern living options, with many apartments offering larger-than-average floorplans.

Falas highlights the increasing trend for larger apartments, noting that buyers are moving from larger homes into apartments with more space. The Kensington offers an attractive solution for those looking for spacious, well-designed apartments that still provide the convenience of urban living.

A Commitment to Quality with ISERT-Rated Partners


To ensure the highest quality in construction, TOGA has partnered with Desco, an ISERT-rated builder. While TOGA typically handles both development and construction, the decision to work with an external builder for Kensington underscores their commitment to delivering exceptional build quality. Desco’s four-and-a-half-star ISERT rating reflects the builder’s adherence to rigorous standards, ensuring that every detail of the project meets or exceeds expectations.

Innovative Features and Diverse Apartment Stock


The Kensington development offers a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments, including the unique Soho apartments—a two-story, dual-entry layout perfect for home office use. These innovative units cater to the growing demand for flexible living spaces that accommodate both work and residential needs, offering buyers the option to use the downstairs area as a dedicated office or business space while enjoying residential living upstairs.

The Kensington: A Premium Investment Opportunity


With its prime location, modern amenities, and quality construction, The Kensington is an excellent investment opportunity. The combination of residential, retail, and commercial space makes the development appealing to both first-time buyers and investors. The high demand for properties in this area, driven by the proximity to universities, hospitals, and the transport network, ensures that The Kensington will remain a desirable address for years to come.
