TOGA's new apartment development, The Kensington, is one of the most connected apartment developments the longstanding developer has produced in Sydney.

That's the view of Anthony Falas, who has spent the best part of a decade with TOGA across several developments in the company's long 61-year history.

The Kensington, 142 apartments currently under construction by 4.5 Star iCIRT rated builder Dasco, is located directly right outside a light rail stop, and is a short walk to the Prince of Wales Hospital and health precinct, the University of New South Wales, and Centennial Park.

I recently caught up with Anthony Falas to find out more about The Kensington.

Falas says given the location, The Kensington is ideally located for both investors and owner-occupiers.

"We're getting a lot of nurses and doctors because of the health precinct, and parents purchasing for their children who are students, both local and overseas," Falas says.

While TOGA tends to build its own developments, given their new development portfolio that includes Macquarie Rise in Macquarie Park, Surry Hills Village, and a several large commercial and hospitality projects, they've brought Dasco in to deliver The Kensington.

“It’s a win-win for the customer,” Falas said, highlighting the added assurance that both TOGA and Dasco hold iCIRT ratings. This certification from Equifax is increasingly recognised as a quality benchmark in the property development industry.

The apartments at The Kensington will sit above seven retail spaces, something that TOGA always incorporates into its developments.

There are a variety of floorplans on offer at The Kensington, a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments that will cater to a wide variety of buyers.

The Kensington also offers several SOHO apartments which combine commercial and residential with dual-entry access to essentially run a business from home.

Cranes are on site and early site works have commenced. Construction of The Kensington is set to conclude in 2026.
