Oakover Preston is a thoughtfully developed residential neighbourhood within Preston Crossing. The first stage delivered 26 townhouses and the next stage of 35 further homes is now underway.

The precinct prioritises pedestrian and cycle connectivity: a network of streets and lanes links homes to the nearby transport hub at Bell Station, promoting walking, cycling and easy access to public transit. Shared open spaces, gardens and tree-canopy planting help “re-green” the site, embedding nature and informal recreation into everyday living. Mixed-tenure housing (townhouses, apartments, social and affordable homes) fosters a diverse community and supports different lifestyles—families, individuals, multigenerational households.

The material palette and architecture respond to the local character—brickwork recalling the industrial heritage, balustrades and screens with domestic detail—creating a precinct that feels both distinctive and rooted.

Homes in the precinct are designed to achieve high performance: the social housing component attains an average 7-star NatHERS rating and targets 5-Star Green Star Design & As-Built certification.

The masterplan supports accessibility and longevity: social housing meets Gold Liveable Housing Design Guidelines, ensuring homes are comfortable, adaptable to changing household needs and cost-efficient to run.

Landscaping, tree planting and vegetated arbours contribute to urban greening, supporting biodiversity, shade provision and mitigating urban heat.

By combining high-quality design, sustainable performance and walkable, genuine neighbourhood fabric, Oakover Preston creates a place where residents can live, grow and connect for the long term. The homes feel anchored, the precinct feels welcoming, and the architecture supports everyday life with comfort, durability and purpose.
