Why is Metricon one of the best townhouse builders for investors?

Its TownLiving range is delivered as fixed-price turnkey townhouses within established masterplanned estates, with clearly defined floorplans and documented inclusions confirmed before construction begins. This means you can purchase a nominated townhouse design within a specific estate release under one fixed-price building contract, and the home is delivered complete at settlement in line with the agreed inclusions.

What makes Metricon the leading townhouse builder for investors?

Metricon plans its TownLiving projects as complete townhouse releases, not one-off builds. You’re choosing from a defined product with predetermined inclusions and pricing before construction progresses.

Here’s what sets Metricon apart:
Award-winning designs shaped around tenant needs

• Personalised interiors through Studio M
• Fixed-price townhouses ready for lease
• Built inside established, high-demand estates
• Structural quality and lifetime guarantee

1. Award-winning designs shaped around tenant needs

Metricon allows you to choose specific townhouse designs such as Gembrook, Rosedale and Aurora. They’re structured differently, so you can match the layout to your target tenant.
In many two, three and four-bedroom Metricon townhomes, you’ll typically find:

• An open-plan kitchen, meals and living area downstairs that opens straight onto a private courtyard
• All bedrooms located upstairs, away from the main living area
• A walk-in robe to the main bedroom with built-in robes to secondary bedrooms
• A full bathroom upstairs and a separate powder room downstairs
• In selected designs, an additional retreat or study nook

When you invest in this type of layout, you’re not limiting your property to one renter profile. Families can separate kids’ rooms from the main living zone, professional sharers get privacy upstairs, while remote workers gain a defined study space.

2. Personalised interiors through Studio M

At Studio M, Metricon's inspiration and design centre, you meet with a Design Consultant to choose the actual finishes that will be installed in your townhouse. During your appointment, you choose:

• Floor coverings for living areas and bedrooms
• Kitchen cabinetry colours and door profiles
• Stone benchtop options
• Tapware finishes for kitchens and bathrooms
• Appliance packages suited to your layout

Because these selections are confirmed before construction progresses, your townhouse is delivered in line with the agreed specification. You can arrange photography and list the property without organising replacement flooring or post-handover upgrades.

3. Fixed-price townhouses ready for lease

When you purchase a TownLiving townhouse, you enter a single fixed-price building contract that itemises the included works. The contract includes flooring throughout, driveway construction, fencing, front landscaping, LED downlights and wall panel heaters in bedrooms.

The home is delivered complete at settlement in accordance with that contract. You’re not required to arrange separate trades to complete flooring or external works before advertising the property.

4. Built inside established, high-demand estates

Metricon builds its TownLiving townhouses in established masterplanned estates such as Highlands in Mickleham, Aurora in Wollert and Mt. Atkinson in Truganina.

Schools, shopping centres, parks and major road connections are already operating or under construction when you buy. That means you’re leasing in suburbs people already know and choose to live in, not brand-new land releases waiting years for infrastructure.

5. Structural quality and lifetime guarantee

With Metricon, your townhouse is built in line with the Building Code of Australia and the Australian Standards that regulate how slabs, footings and structural framing must perform over time. That includes compliance with standards such as AS 2870 for residential slabs and footings and AS 1684 for timber framing.

Where the building contract is eligible, Metricon’s Lifetime Structural Guarantee applies to the original owners named on that contract. The guarantee covers defined structural failure of load-bearing components, including the concrete slab and footings, structural timber or steel wall and roof framing and load-bearing brickwork.

In practical terms, the structural shell of your townhouse is formally backed under the contract, not just verbally promised. For an investor, that protects the most expensive and hardest-to-repair part of the asset: the structure itself.

See why Metricon is the best for townhouse investment

With more than 50 years of residential building experience, Metricon designs its TownLiving townhouses as complete, investment-ready homes rather than generic builds. Each floorplan, inclusion schedule and contract price is set before sale, giving investors documented scope and delivery clarity from the outset.
