Acting in the capacity as Head of Development for Urbanest, Jon and his team negotiated the purchase of one of Sydney’s best student accommodation sites. The property sits on the boundary of the University of Sydney, next to the Student Union and the footbridge between the Darlington and Camperdown Campuses – a truly premium location.

Urbanest Darlington is a 13-storey building of more than 450 beds offering studios and a variety of multi-share apartments plus extensive shared communal facilities including a courtyard cinema, large gym, TV, Lounge and study areas.

The property is shared with the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney as the development included a chapel, offices, library and meeting rooms and the restoration of the Cypress Hall – a heritage building dating back to 1859.
