About Us

In 1948, 3000 acres of northern Perth land was purchased by Estates Development Company. Over the years, the company has developed the entire area, with the exception of one small parcel of prime beachfront property overlooking Hillarys Boat Harbour. This is Harbour Rise. The best has truly been kept till last.

Harbour Rise is located on the hillside next door to and overlooking Hillarys Boat Harbour. The beaches, literally across the road at Sorrento and Hillarys, are among the finest in the world. Swim, surf, fish, jog, or just take a stroll as the sunset casts golden fire across the Indian Ocean.

Hillarys Boat Harbour provides a safe dock for your wildest boating fantasies, and easy passage to Rottnest Island by ferry. The integral Sorrento Quay leisure facilities put restaurants, cafes and shops within walking distance.

Also at the boat harbour: the Hillarys Yacht Club, and the spectacle of AQUA. The Whitfords Nodes A-Class Reserve puts an enormous beachfront recreation area on your doorstep.

Harbour Rise Estate is a short drive from excellent private and state schools, and great shopping at Karrinyup Shopping Centre and Whitfords City. Public transport is plentiful and convenient in both cases.

The world-class Joondalup Golf Course is minutes away, as is the quality public course at Hamersley.

Importantly, Harbour Rise is also the last major development of its kind to be so close to the city.

The Mitchell Freeway is five minutes away, and the city 15 minutes further.

REVERSING THE SOULLESS URBAN SPRAWL

Harbour Rise is an example of a new movement in urban planning.

'New Urbanism' is something of a return to the values that created the close-knit communities of the 1920s, and a reaction against the impenetrable mazes of subdivisions in the '70s and '80s. It means simpler road grids, and a more coherent fabric to the community. It means human scale, and integrated public spaces. In essence, it means an environment where people live, rather than hide.

Harbour Rise will bloom into a contemporary harbour village, with high-quality homes in a beautifully planned landscape. Timber and limestone will be features, as will distinctive galvanised steel street furniture. Stone terraces, stepping down toward the sparkling ocean, define the lay of the land. The views are exquisite.

A HAVEN FROM COOL SUBURBAN

In the spirit of 'New Urbanism' Harbour Rise is a vibrant, interesting place to live.

Several different forms of living will co-exist here, ranging from large, family homes with spectacular outlooks, to tasteful cottages fronting onto parkland.

Superbly designed public open spaces are linked by pedestrian-friendly streetscapes. Unique detailing includes specially created street lighting in cedar and galvanised steel.

There will be greenery in abundance, for walking on, for sitting under, for merely bringing calm to the mind. This is a place made for people. Peaceful, secure, charming.
