It’s plain to see the Inner North is changing. Light rail, new developments and precincts are giving more Canberrans the chance to live in one of the capital’s best areas.
Perfectly positioned on Northbourne Avenue, the gateway to the city, Mattone Apartments at the Newlyne precinct in Lyneham represent an affordable opportunity to live the Inner North lifestyle.
“The entry to the city is changing and the Newlyne Precinct, with Mattone at the centre, will make an impression on people coming into the capital,” TP Dynamics project manager Kenneth Kong says.
“This is a prime location in Lyneham. We are glad to have it as part of the Inner North’s changing face.”
Mattone offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with a functional, modern design that considers the realities of apartment living.
“The apartments were designed to be very efficient. We really had a general direction of using all the space we have; none of the room is wasted,” Kenneth says.
Right next to the Yowani Country Club, the apartments will also enjoy sweeping views of the club’s meticulously tended, green grounds.
“Above the second floor, all apartments will have views of the golf course,” Kenneth says.
Mattone does things a little bit differently. While many modern developments seem to be competing to include more and more amenities in their buildings, Mattone is home to no-frills, functional, yet beautiful apartments.
“Lots of building amenities are nice, but they include the hidden caveat of strata fees and higher day-to-day costs,” Kenneth says.
“We want our apartments to be affordable. Without the bells and whistles. No pools, no gyms, no saunas, which means we can offer apartments at prices people can actually afford.”
Of course, those sorts of amenities, gyms, saunas, cafes, restaurants and more are available in the precinct, just not in the building.
“By separating the commercial side from the residential components of the precinct, the apartments can be cheaper and the residents don’t end up subsidising the amenities,” Kenneth says.
“The lifestyle on offer here is special, and we want it to be affordable.”
For that reason, the property is aimed at first-home buyers, downsizers, and investors who want a modern apartment in an exciting part of Canberra without the prices often associated with the Inner North.
The location affords easy access to the best of the city, as well as to Dickson, a bustling area in its own right, undergoing a makeover. The Swinden Street light rail platform on Northbourne means a Mattone resident can get to the city in just 8 minutes.
All the best of the city is at Mattone’s fingertips, with everything from pubs to schools to parks within walking distance.
“We have a display apartment off the carpark at the Yowani Golf Course, giving hopefuls a chance to check out our offering,” Kenneth says. Apartments are due for completion by early 2027.
Mattone is a unique form of development, deliberately omitting unnecessary additions that many buildings include to provide more affordable homes for those looking to get onto the property ladder. But it still offers an unbeatable kind of life, with perfect proximity to Canberra’s best dining, shopping and cafe culture.
