Hotel-like student ‘skyrise’ coming to Sydney’s Macquarie Park

Student housing is set to go up a level of luxury with the launch of a new $130 million development in Sydney’s northwest.

The Epiisod project by Centurion Corporation will include a sauna, ice pools and housekeeping services in purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA).

Reported to be about 13 floors, the project in Macquarie Park will include accommodation for 732 students, who will be able to move in over 2026.

The development will be located near Macquarie University, Macquarie Shopping Centre and local public transport.

The $132m project will include hotel-like amenities including a rooftop infinity pool, wellness centre with sauna, ice pool and yoga facilities, dedicated study areas and communal zones for students.

Tech-driven features are also in focus, with expected inclusions of keyless smart entry, smart home IoT systems and an exclusive ‘Resident App’ to offer quick access to residential services and support, parcel management and timely updates.

Students will be able to register for residency via the Epiisod website for the flagship Macquarie Park development. Construction will be completed by the end of 2025.

An Epiisod experience program is also planned to offer residents perks, such as weekday breakfasts, housekeeping services, gym training sessions, curated events as well as work and leadership opportunities.

Environmental inclusions such as solar power, preservation of blue-gum trees, indoor landscaping and natural outdoor green spaces will also be included in the design.

Centurion joint chairman David Loh said in a release announcing the project that it would be an attempt to redefine student accommodation globally.

“The Epiisod brand augments our company’s thriving portfolio, currently comprising 37 accommodation assets across Asia, the UK and the US, and provides a premium experience that meets the highest standards of design and functionality, while fostering a sense of community to underscore a student’s tertiary education journey,” he said.

Beyond Macquarie Park, Centurion has plans in progress to develop properties in Melbourne and Perth in the coming years.
