Highpoint Apartments is a landmark residential development in the heart of Charlestown, delivering Lake Macquarie’s tallest building at 165 metres above ground level.
The development comprises 68 apartments across 17 levels, including a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom residences designed to support contemporary living and long-term liveability. Within the building are four purpose-designed accessible apartments, built to platinum standards, providing modern, supported living opportunities within a high-density residential environment.
Highpoint features two exclusive resident-only outdoor amenities, including a podium-level entertaining terrace and a rooftop terrace offering uninterrupted 360-degree views across Lake Macquarie, from the coastline to the Mount Sugarloaf ranges. Positioned to support the revitalisation of Charlestown, the development combines height, amenity and accessibility to create a highly visible and locally significant residential address.

Delivered by GWH Build, Highpoint represents the largest and tallest multi-storey project completed in GWH’s 25-year history. Construction commenced in May 2018 with demolition and excavation of the three-level basement, followed by the delivery of 18 suspended slabs culminating in the rooftop terrace slab in late 2019.
The first slab on ground was poured in December 2018, with the structure progressing at an average rate of one completed slab every 10 days. The build incorporated approximately 3,500 cubic metres of concrete, supported by 276 tonnes of structural steel and 476 precast concrete panels, delivered through GWH’s integrated construction capability and supply chain.
During construction, the project injected more than $20 million into the local economy and reached completion in early 2020, reinforcing GWH’s proven ability to deliver complex vertical residential developments with discipline, certainty and scale.
