Sekisui House has released the first 30 land lots for sale in its highly anticipated Cascadia Calderwood masterplanned community, offering land lots alongside premium SHAWOOD homes, on NSW’s south coast.
To celebrate this milestone, Sekisui House will be hosting a Land Launch Open Day on Saturday 20th September, between 10:00am – 12:00pm. The event will give the community and prospective buyers a chance to experience what's on offer at Sekisui House’s first masterplan in the Illawarra.
With the Illawarra region forecast to grow by 29% by 2041, Cascadia responds to rising housing demand with a masterplanned community that balances supply with high-quality amenities and sustainable design. Supported by future schools and village centres, the area is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for families seeking the perfect blend of lifestyle and liveability.
This milestone marks the beginning of a $440 million project that will deliver 455 new homes across three stages, establishing a vibrant new neighbourhood in the Illawarra region. These select land lots offer a rare opportunity to design and build your bespoke home within a thoughtfully planned streetscape, surrounded by a leafy, natural backdrop.
Reflecting on the first release, William Messiter, Chief Operating Officer – Residential Communities and Home Building at Sekisui House Australia says, “The first release at Cascadia is an exciting milestone. These 30 lots offer buyers the very first opportunity to secure land in what will become one of the Illawarra’s most desirable new communities. With premium positioning, thoughtful design and stunning natural surrounds, this release represents a rare chance to be part of the community from the very beginning.”
Central to the 36-hectare masterplan is a focus on lifestyle, wellbeing and connection. The community has been designed to integrate with the natural environment, featuring cycleways, walking trails, waterways, bushland and a restored riparian corridor. Two new parks will be delivered to the community, with the first park, expected to be completed by Q1 2026, to provide additional green space.
Building on this foundation, Sekisui House neighbourhoods set a new benchmark for landscaping and community design, creating functional yet welcoming streetscapes. Many lots occupy elevated positions with sweeping escarpment and valley views, offering unique settings for new homes.
The first release of land is priced from $658,000. These generously proportioned blocks range from 472m2 up to 788m2.
The community is also well-placed to enjoy the best of the Illawarra lifestyle. Residents have access to mountain trails, fishing spots, ocean pools and sandy beaches, with Wollongong’s CBD, coastal towns and major amenities all close by. The nearby M1 motorway and planned infrastructure upgrades ensure easy access to Sydney and beyond, making Cascadia a convenient and appealing choice for families, professionals and investors.
In addition to the available land, Sekisui House is building their signature SHAWOOD homes in Cascadia. These homes are designed for family living and are a mixture of split level and double storey homes which are orientated around maximising views to the nearby Escarpment, down the Calderwood valley to Lake Illawarra. The first of these homes will be available for sale before the end of the year.
“Our insights have told us that people are increasingly looking for homes that offer more than just a beautiful living space. People are after a community that delivers a true balance of lifestyle and living, close to amenities, close to work, while being immersed in nature and surrounded by some of the most stunning beaches and coastline in the country,” says Mr Messiter. “SHAWOOD is known for its award-winning homes set in premium masterplanned communities, and we’re thrilled to be well on the way to delivering this premium experience and opportunity to Calderwood.”
“The first release of SHAWOOD homes are expected to be priced from around $1.3 million.”
The masterplanned community is set to be complete by late 2028, offering a thriving regional hub in the Illawarra region. Whether purchasing land to build a dream home or choosing a SHAWOOD residence, Cascadia Calderwood delivers a lifestyle that’s close to perfect. It’s a place where nature meets nurture, and where every direction leads to opportunity.
