Transformative Burswood project reaches new heights in its development process

Construction at Somerset at Burswood Point has reached a defining milestone, with the installation of the project’s tower crane marking the transition to vertical construction.

Now highly visible on the perimeter of Belmont Park Racecourse at Perth’s eastern gateway, the crane stands as a clear signal that one of the city’s most anticipated waterfront residential developments is well underway.

For many Perth residents, the crane represents the first tangible glimpse of the vision unfolding at Burswood Point – a 38-hectare riverfront precinct just 3.5km from the Perth CBD.

Somerset East and Somerset West are the first residential towers to be delivered at Burswood Point and are being built by Western Australia-based Golden Sedayu Construction.

Established as the in-house construction arm of Golden Sedayu, the team was formed to address a shortage of builders in WA capable of delivering complex large-scale residential projects.

Golden Sedayu Construction brings together local design, commercial, delivery and onsite expertise in a team with a collective track record on landmark developments, including The Ritz-Carlton, Perth and The Towers at Elizabeth Quay.

Golden Sedayu Managing Director Andrew Sugiaputra said the crane installation was a visible demonstration of both progress and capability.

“By integrating development and construction under one roof, we are able to manage quality assurance, timelines and delivery more effectively, providing purchasers with confidence at every stage of the journey,” he said.

“We are now seeing years of planning, design and collaboration coming together onsite, which reinforces our confidence in the strength, quality and long-term vision for this unprecedented waterfront precinct,”

As construction on the luxury residences progresses towards its anticipated completion in the December 2027 quarter, buyer confidence remains strong.

Somerset at Burswood Point is now 60 per cent sold and continues to attract sustained interest due to its riverfront location, premium design credentials by award-winning DKO Architecture and the certainty offered by Golden Sedayu’s vertically integrated delivery model.

Somerset at Burswood Point comprises a curated collection of two and three-bedroom residences – one-bedroom apartments have sold out – and penthouses, each positioned to maximise uninterrupted views across Swan River, Belmont Park Racecourse, Optus Stadium and the Perth Hills.

Each residence has been designed to prioritise light, outlook and liveability.

Ceiling heights of up to 2.9m and extensive wraparound glazing capture river or racecourse panoramas while generous open-plan living spaces flow seamlessly on to expansive balconies designed for year-round entertaining.

Kitchens feature island benches, walk-in sculleries and premium Gaggenau appliances complemented by engineered timber flooring, mineral stone benchtops and designer tapware throughout.

Buyers can further personalise their homes through a choice of three interior palettes, which reflect Somerset at Burswood Point’s architectural warmth and simplicity.

Residents will enjoy access to resort-style wellness amenities across both buildings, including a 20m infinity pool and spa overlooking the river, a fully equipped gymnasium, a light-filled yoga studio designed for quiet focus and mindful movement yoga, a traditional timber-lined sauna, private dining and lounge facilities, as well as outdoor barbecue and observation areas with racecourse views.

“In addition to its considered in-house amenities designed to foster a vibrant, connected and sustainable community, Somerset delivers high-quality homes in a location which feels uniquely tranquil, yet remains seamlessly connected to the energy of Optus Stadium, Crown Perth, Victoria Park’s dining scene and the Perth CBD,” Mr Sugiaputra said.

Somerset at Burswood Point’s residences are attracting owner-occupiers and downsizers transitioning from larger homes and seeking a lock-up-and-leave riverside lifestyle without compromising on quality or amenity, alongside investors recognising the scarcity of premium, well-located apartment stock close to the Perth CBD.

Beyond the residential offering, Golden Sedayu has already delivered more than $30 million in critical infrastructure works – jointly funded with the State Government – to ensure the Burswood Point community is well connected from day one.

The upgrades reflect the long-term value of Burswood Point and include a new pedestrian bridge over Graham Farmer Freeway to Perth Stadium train station, Optus Stadium and Burswood Park, enhanced cycling and walking paths, plus a short-span bridge linking Burswood Point to Victoria Park Drive.

Burswood Point offers a waterfront community combining a peaceful parkland setting with effortless access to Perth’s employment, education and lifestyle hubs – a balance which is increasingly difficult to find as the city grows.

Once complete, Somerset at Burswood Point will set the benchmark for future stages through design excellence and a strong focus on long-term liveability at this landmark community.

Two-bedroom apartments start from $1.375 million, with three-bedroom residences starting from $2.2 million.

Somerset at Burswood Point is anticipated to reach completion in the December 2027 quarter.

Burswood Point comprises a curated collection of homes and apartments nestled along the banks of Swan River on the Belmont Park Racecourse site.
