Momentum is building at developer Golden Sedayu’s Burswood Point, with a series of milestones reinforcing the scale of one of Perth’s most mixed-use developments. Located on a 38-hectare stretch of previously inaccessible Swan River foreshore just 3.5 kilometres from the CBD, the recent installation of the cranes at Somerset Residences, the first two residential towers at Burswood Point, marks a defining moment for the project. Positioned prominently along the perimeter of Belmont Racecourse at Perth’s eastern gateway, the cranes provide a tangible demonstration of delivery capability in a market where construction certainty has become increasingly critical.
Somerset East and West are being delivered by WA-based Golden Sedayu Construction, the in-house construction arm established to address Western Australia’s shortage of builders capable of managing large-scale, complex residential projects. By integrating development and construction under one roof, Golden Sedayu maintains direct oversight of quality, cost management and programme control, a model that is resonating with buyers seeking confidence in delivery timelines.
Designed by internationally awarded DKO Architecture, Somerset comprises a curated collection of two- and three-bedroom residences and penthouses positioned to capture uninterrupted views across the Swan River, Belmont Racecourse, Optus Stadium and the Perth Hills. Premium specifications, generous proportions and private wellness amenities are appealing to professionals, downsizers and investors seeking scarce, high-quality stock close to the CBD.
Somerset West is over 85% sold, with the East tower selling fast. Completion is anticipated in Q4 2027.
Beyond apartments, construction is also progressing on the River and Garden Homes, a limited collection of green-title riverfront residences designed to offer purchasers a turnkey opportunity without the complexity of custom home procurement.
The River Homes, also designed by DKO Architecture and delivered by luxury Perth home builder Urbane, offer direct river access, expansive living zones and private lifts, with three bedrooms and a master suite occupying entire upper levels. The four-bedroom Garden Homes, designed by Space Collective Architects and built by C U Building Group, are defined by landscaped courtyards and refined open-plan interiors. Both collections are due for completion in 2028.
This diverse offering of homes will ultimately be supported by extensive public amenity, retail and hospitality infrastructure that will include a shopping centre of a similar scale to Claremont Quarter. Complementing this, a high-end pedestrian friendly boulevard with vibrant day-and-night dining and entertainment venues will provide exciting ways for Perth residents to connect with the riverfront.
A further milestone underscoring the project’s trajectory is the signing of Australia’s first five-star Anantara Hotel at Burswood Point, which will form a key anchor within the community. The global hotel operator is Minor Hotels, whose portfolio spans more than 640 properties worldwide. The Anantara brand is internationally recognised for its design-led resorts and immersive wellness experiences, with established properties throughout Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
The hotel is planned to include 150 guest rooms and suites, destination dining venues, a swimming pool, fitness facilities and a signature Anantara Spa. The publicly accessible hospitality offerings further add to the planned 110,000 square metres of open space across a 2.5-kilometre stretch of rehabilitated foreshore. Integrated parkland, beaches, walkways and cycle paths create a walkable and enduring urban neighbourhood connected to Optus Stadium, Burswood Park, East Perth and beyond. Burswood Point is also conveniently serviced by nearby buses and Perth Stadium Train Station.
In a constrained market where premium waterfront property this close to the city is scarce, Burswood Point offers effortless access to Perth’s employment, education, and lifestyle hubs - a balance that is increasingly difficult to find as the city grows.
Two-bedroom apartments start from $1.375 million, with three-bedroom residences from $2.2 million. Garden Homes start from $3.25 million and River Homes from $4.5 million.
