The project featured 1,252 housing units, comprising 1,170 one and two-bedroom apartments and 82 three-bedroom townhouses over 18 buildings with 8 floors[3] each and a 'village heart' with over 5800 m2 of retail.

The Dutch company Arcadis provided engineering inputs into the concept and feasibility phase through to delivery of the Parklands site .

BMD Urban constructed the community infrastructure in the project at a cost of A$65 million.

The residential zone accommodated athletes and officials and also offered recreation, gym and medical facilities.
