Claymore infrastructure, key developments and investment opportunities
Claymore is undergoing a major long-term transformation through the Claymore Renewal Project, which is replacing the former public housing estate with a mixed-tenure community of around 1,600 homes, including 30% allocated to social housing and 158 dwellings designed for older tenants.[1] This staged redevelopment, expected to be completed by 2030, is progressively modernising the housing stock, improving public spaces, and is likely to support gradual uplift in property values and buyer interest as new releases come to market.[1]
Landcom’s ongoing release of residential lots under the Hillcroft brand is increasing the supply of contemporary homes, attracting a broader mix of owner-occupiers and investors and reshaping the suburb’s demographic profile.[1] Claymore also benefits from proximity to established schools, public transport and major retail centres in nearby Campbelltown and Macarthur Square, which enhances day-to-day amenity and underpins demand from families seeking affordable options within reach of key services.[3][4]
