Construcciones Yamaro: Sekisui House Australia tops out Veue at The Orchards
Sekisui House Australia has topped out Veue (Stage 4), the largest residential stage within The Orchards masterplan – a new residential community under construction in New South Wales.
Veue comprises 577 apartments across six buildings, with towers ranging from nine to 22 storeys. Designed by Crone Architects and delivered by Westbourne Constructions, the project has been conceived as a nature-inspired residential address where architecture, interiors and landscape come together to create a lifestyle-focused community.
George Gesouras, project director – apartment and mixed-use developments at Sekisui House Australia, said the topping out milestone marks another step in the delivery of The Orchards.
“Reaching the highest point of this development allows residents, neighbours and the broader community to fully appreciate the scale, built form and presence of what has been envisioned,” said Gesouras.
“Our purpose is to create homes and communities that improve with time and last for generations. Veue has been designed as a lifestyle environment integrated with surrounding parklands and natural green spaces. The architecture, landscaping and amenity work together to create a place that feels connected and liveable.”

Residents of Veue will have access to shared amenities including an indoor heated swimming pool, gymnasium, concierge, music room, landscaped recreation areas, playgrounds and communal function spaces.
Sustainability initiatives embedded throughout the development include rooftop solar integration, rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient systems, EV charging capability, smart metering and water-sensitive urban design features including bioretention basins and rain gardens.
Stephen Hughes, chief executive officer at Westbourne Constructions, said the achievement reflects the dedication, collaboration and commitment of everyone involved in the project.
“Veue is a highly detailed project that has required exceptional coordination across design, engineering and construction. At its peak, more than 420 workers have been on site simultaneously. The structural framework incorporates approximately 6,500 tonnes of reinforced steel and more than 52,000 cubic metres of concrete, highlighting the scale of this landmark build,” said Hughes.
“The curved forms, integrated planting and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces demanded a high level of craftsmanship and precision. As scaffolding is progressively removed, purchasers and the community will begin to see the sculptural façade and distinctive identity of Veue fully revealed.”
Veue Central and Veue Parkside are expected to welcome residents in August, with Veue Grand to follow later in 2026. The Orchards spans 8.1 hectares and will deliver about 1,300 apartments across five stages. It will feature recreational amenities including a 1.4-hectare public park, outdoor cinema, playgrounds, green spaces, lagoon pool and fitness centre.
