New townhomes announced just 8km south of Adelaide’s CBD

As housing affordability challenges many South Australians, a new residential development just eight kilometres south of the Adelaide CBD, aims to provide accessible home ownership in a tightly held suburb.

Panorama, the latest community by Rivergum, offers affordability, architectural urban design, and fixed-price certainty in a masterplanned community of 76 homes. 

Rivergum will serve as both developer and builder for the architecturally designed Torrens-titled townhomes,  inspired by ‘Streamline Moderne’ an international style of Art Deco architecture, prevalent throughout the City of Mitcham and Panorama suburb.

Panorama reflects the industry’s shift towards inclusive communities, welcoming first-home buyers, young professionals, downsizers, and investors.

Unlocking affordability in a premium suburb  

Ren Papilion, Rivergum’s development director, says Panorama really benefits from their fully integrated delivery model. 

“It means that every stage of the project, from planning and architecture design to building and sales, is managed in-house,” he explained.

Buyers can expect a streamlined construction and purchasing process, making the journey towards owning their new home even simpler, he added. 

“We’ve been working with the City of Mitcham to finalise approvals. We will sell the homes in stages, and intend to build all dwellings at the same time,” Papilion states.

Rivergum’s dual role as builder and developer allows greater control over costs and consistency in design.

This control over costs means that Panorama is delivering 15% affordable housing through HomeSeeker SA, providing an opportunity for first-home buyers to secure a home in Adelaide’s competitive market.

Sustainable and stylish living options  

Homes will be offered as fixed price, turnkey house and land packages complete with ducted air-conditioning, LED lighting, and stainless-steel appliances.  

Buyers can select from two- and three-bedroom layouts perfect for growing families, downsizers and investors alike, all while having consistent architecture that connects the homes as one cohesive community and pays homage to the surrounding  community’s rich vein of art deco and early 20th century architecture, featuring curved walls, feature brickwork and balcony balustrading.

With parking at a premium in South Australia, Panorama has been designed so that all homes include secure off-street parking. 

Luckily for residents, there’s more on-street parking than required for a masterplan of its size, giving them even greater flexibility and choice. 

Sustainability upgrade features include rooftop solar and EV charging capabilities, allowing buyers to take full advantage of the South Australian sun and lower their reliance on the electricity grid.

Experience, access, and prime location  

With three decades of experience, buyers can have confidence in a home built by Rivergum.

Sales agent Tayla Taarnby notes, “Rivergum is known for  delivering affordability that is aspirational, and successfully delivering award winning homes and projects at this scale.”

Panorama is also located in the thriving suburb of Panorama and comes with all the local must-haves. 

The award-winning Pasadena Shopping Centre is  900m from the project, less than a 2 minute drive, as are a variety of retail and dining options, schools and healthcare services.

With Goodwood Road just on their doorstep, Panorama buyers will also enjoy seamless connectivity into Adelaide’s CBD by public transport.

As part of the project’s commitment to building a real community for its future residents, a reserve has also been included in the masterplan, creating a green space perfect for relaxing and connecting with new neighbours. 

Panorama’s homes start at $675,000, well below Panorama’s median house price of $1.152 million – an attractive offering for first-time buyers and moderate-income households.

Additionally, the development will feature homes at higher price points for those seeking more luxury, catering to a broad range of buyer needs, including 4-bedroom family homes with separate living/studio apartment above the rear lane garage.

An innovative tool for buyer confidence

Panorama homebuyers will be able to walk through their floor plan before their home is even built, thanks to Rivergum’s one-of-a-kind Plan Lab™ experience.

Plan Lab™ is a life-size floor plan walkthrough studio that allows buyers to explore their floor plan in full scale and is the only one of its kind in South Australia.

More than just the floor plans, Plan Lab™ is enhanced by movable furniture and wall sections that make the technology even more immersive.

Future residents will experience the full size and designs of the townhomes, using Plan Lab™ to imagine what their home in the Panorama community will look like for them and their families.
