The focus of western Sydney’s relentless property development wave is shifting from Parramatta to Penrith, where a slew of big projects is either under way or about to start.

Projects include the city’s first A-grade office building, two high-rise apartment towers of up to 46 levels, several office developments, an apartment hotel, a 7000 square metre city park and the $1 billion redevelopment of Nepean Hospital.
