HomeCo’s $4.6 million plan to replace deserted Masters building, St Marys

A new commercial complex has been confirmed for the deserted Masters building promising a health and wellness precinct, gym, vet, childcare and recreational facilities.

St Marys is levelling up with a massive commercial precinct confirmed to be coming to the area boasting a new health and wellness precinct, gym, vet hospital, childcare and recreational facilities.

HomeCo has massive plans for St Marys including a health and wellness precinct, gym, vet hospital, childcare and recreational facilities.

Located on 243 Forrester Road, where the old Masters build was, the new $4.6 million multi-level development is aiming to bring convenience and balance to the area by re-purposing into a Home Consortium.

The former Penrith Masters site shut its doors long ago.

Renders of new HomeCo planned for St Marys.

Approved on December 14, the new complex will include a medical centre, childcare centre, warehouse, gym, dental clinic, imaging clinic, physio clinic, pet store and vet, nutrition store and other retail.

Including on-site carparking and a loading dock, the development will spread across a 3.2 hectare site, adjoining the St Marys Leagues Club and stadium.

The development is committed to being eco-friendly by harnessing natural light, rainwater harvesting and using efficient lighting systems, according to DA documents.

Adults won’t be the only ones having fun.

The precinct will also be home to a large childcare centre that can accommodate up to 138 children per day between the ages of 6 weeks to 6 years.

Aurrum Childcare and Preschool centre will operate from 6.30am – 6.30pm Monday to Friday 52 weeks of the year.

The North St Marys centre will be designed into a series of houses, like a small village giving it a unique identity compared to the surrounding industrial complexes, according to DA documents.

The centre will have floor-to-ceiling glazing allowing natural daylight to penetrate into the interior so that, in summer, the whole building can be opened up to keep spaces fresh and cool.

The new Aurrum Childcare and Preschool will be situated in the massive complex.

Inside, each playroom has been tailor-made with specific themes including native fauna and Indigenous landscaping.

The landscaping is designed to integrate with the building so children can splash in the water, jump on the air pillow, explore in the grass, or hide behind the large natural pine posts, according to DA documents.

It will also feature a fruit orchard, a greenhouse, planter boxes overflowing with fresh produce, herb gardens and sensory plantation. The children will be encouraged to move seamlessly between the indoor and outdoor environment.
