Sekisui House commences construction of Cascadia, set to deliver 455 new homes to the Illawarra Region. 

Sekisui House Australia recently celebrated the construction commencement for their latest estate, Cascadia, promising to bring innovative SHAWOOD homes to New South Wales' thriving South Coast.

Leading residential property developer and home builder Sekisui House Australia has proudly announced the commencement of construction at Cascadia, a masterplanned community that spans an expansive 36 hectares within the thriving Illawarra Region of the Calderwood Valley in New South Wales.

Nestled against the backdrop of the picturesque Illawarra Escarpment, this strategic development marks a significant expansion of Sekisui House’s portfolio along the vibrant eastern seaboard of New South Wales. Conveniently located, Cascadia is merely a 20-minute drive from the bustling Wollongong CBD and the serene beaches of Shellharbour.

With a projected value of $520 million, Cascadia is set to deliver 455 lots comprised of land and SHAWOOD homes, each SHAWOOD home meticulously crafted to blend harmoniously with the natural allure of the site’s hilltop range and coastal vistas. With a completion timeline set for late 2028, Cascadia will stand as a testament to Sekisui House's unwavering commitment to sustainability, premium design and fostering a sense of community living. Sean Osawa, CEO of Residential Communities & Home Building at Sekisui House Australia, shared his vision for the project: "Cascadia isn't just another development for us; it's a bold leap forward. 

Here, we're blending architectural elegance with the serene beauty of nature, pushing the boundaries of our design and sustainability ethos. Our drive towards sustainability isn't just a policy – it's our promise. With Cascadia, we're not just aiming to meet expectations; we're setting new benchmarks in creating homes that are as elegant as they are mindful of the environment they inhabit."

Cascadia’s comprehensive masterplan is a showcase of SHAWOOD’s commitment to innovative and thoughtful development. Spanning from Johnsons Spur to Calderwood Road, the project is intricately planned around future riparian corridors and parks, preserving native trees and introducing additional foliage to enrich the biodiversity of the area. Residents will enjoy unparalleled views, extensive green spaces at the Local and District parks, and direct access to a plethora of local amenities, including a proposed recreational sporting precinct, Calderwood golf course, and a vibrant town centre. 

Echoing these sentiments, Sean Osawa further elaborated on the vision of the project, stating, "Cascadia represents more than just new homes; it's the creation of a community where connectivity and well-being are at the forefront. Our vision is to weave a fabric of community life that is not only about living in harmony with nature but also about fostering strong connections among residents. Cascadia is set to be a community where every element is designed with the idea of bringing people together, making it a unique and vibrant part of the Shellharbour region."

Cascadia is a testament to SHAWOOD’s dedication to innovative and responsible development. It leverages Sekisui House’s global expertise in creating sustainable and liveable communities. The unique SHAWOOD construction system, featuring proprietary metal joints and laminated post and beam, ensures precision, quality, and reliability, setting new benchmarks for residential developments in Australia.
