Piety's completed ONE The Waterfront apartment development stands as one of the most striking buildings in Wentworth Point, one of the last remaining new foreshore suburbs on Sydney Harbour.

It was 2015 when Piety secured what was just derelict industrial land. They went about creating what is now a sought-after precinct in an ideal waterfront location which has a number of different commuting options to the city.

ONE The Waterfront is perfectly positioned on Amalfi Drive, a stone's throw from Homebush Bay, across the water from Rhodes, and a short walk from the Olympic Park Train Station.

A waterfront location is nothing without a ferry link. ONE The Waterfront residents are less than a kilometre away from the Sydney Olympic Park Ferry Terminal which has ferries regularly cruising into Circular Quay. That commute takes just over 20 minutes.

While there's a bus stop right outside ONE The Waterfront, there's even future upside for residents, with the proposed light rail link between Westmead and Sydney Olympic Park, via Parramatta, set to add yet another commuting option.

The Wentworth Point Promenade runs along the water to the 330-metre-long Bennelong footbridge which connects Wentworth Point to Rhodes where there's more riverfront walks.

Closer to home is shopping centre Marina Square, near the ferry wharf and the Wentworth Point Public School. That homes over 15 different eateries, as well as convenient amenity such as a Coles, Anytime Fitness, medical centre, a spa, kids cafe, and the cool cocktail bar The Dancing Bear.

The area's amenity quotient is further amplified by Australia's largest urban parklands, which boast an unmatched 35 kilometres of cycleways. There's also the nearby state-of-the-art Pulse Club and the expansive open spaces of Bay Park, providing further recreational options.

Those seeking relaxation can indulge in a movie night at the private screening room in ONE The Waterfront's Club One private lounge. Residents will also have access to resort-like private facilities such as an open-air rooftop cinema, a huge swimming pool, tennis courts and rooftop gardens.

For families, the benefits of living at ONE The Waterfront extend to the proximity of highly regarded public and private schools, the University of Western Sydney, and multiple childcare centres, making it an ideal place to raise children with access to quality education.
