Keira Place reaches topping out with 176 homes set for 2027

Stage one of Keira Place will deliver 176 apartments by Christmas 2027. This includes 31 affordable rentals and 20 specialist disability homes.

Keira Place is transforming a long-vacant site in Wollongong's CBD. Stage one broke ground on two residential buildings with 176 homes.

About 40 per cent have already sold. One-bedroom apartments start in the low to mid-$600,000s.

Three and four-bedroom units rise to early-to-mid $1 million. The project includes 31 affordable rental apartments and 20 specialist disability homes.

Buyers include Illawarra residents, downsizers, and first home buyers. Completion is set for December 2027.

The site is four minutes from the beach and train station, next to the CBD. Stage two proposes three towers with 391 apartments and 251 co-living units.

When both stages finish, the precinct will deliver more than 800 new homes. The development includes 10-year defects insurance.

This compares to the state's standard of two years.
