At Ed.Square we are creating a community for tomorrow that you can live in today. A place that raises the design and community standards in urban village living for all Australian cities. They offer the perfect combination of a bright, light and air-filled home balanced against premium solar and energy efficiency features – with a vibrant community and parkland experience right outside your door.
In business since 1924, we believe our customers should live in a community that offers a healthier and more rewarding lifestyle. A community that’s connected in every sense – to the city, to everyday services, to transport, to beautiful landscaped spaces, to your neighbours and your neighbourhood.
You deserve a home that is comfortable and contemporary, built with pride, craftsmanship and attention to detail. One that is beautiful in design yet practical and comfortable to live in all year round.
Ed’s leading-edge Be.Homes do all that and more. They’re our latest and most advanced home design to date, developed to perform today and well into the future.
Make your new home at Ed a Be.Home. Be part of a community that you’ll love to belong to and a home you’ll be proud to call your own.

Our balanced energy Be.Homes will change your expectations about what a home could and should be. We put more energy into our Be.Home designs – so you’ll have all the lifestyle benefits without it costing the earth.
Premium lifestyle inclusions perfectly matched with the right amount of solar energy.
Like all our homes, Be.Homes are beautiful, comfortable and light-filled. But they also come with a package of leading all-electric, energy efficient inclusions, cleverly matched with the right amount of solar energy to power them. So, they’re cheaper to run and easy to use.
So, what makes our Be.Home designs work?
On one side we generate power from the sun. Frasers Property have created a community renewable energy network called Real Utilities, that uses the roof space across all our Be.Homes to generate low-cost
solar energy for everyone - as and when you need it. We calculate this could save up to 43%* of your energy costs, and we guaranteeˆ your power will always be cheaper than the big three providers and the PV maintenance is hassle free.
On the other side, the homes include the latest and greatest in energy technology and features. Things like highperformance heating and cooling, solar hot water, climate-clever windows and extra-comfort insulation to improve both the quality of your home and your quality of life... all year round.
Every Be.Home generates savings all the way down to the precise, high speed cooking experience of a European induction cooktop.

*43% potential saving based on computer modelling which benchmarks the homes energy performance against new similarly sized Sydney homes built to minimum requirements under the current building code, coupled with the discounted energy supplied by Real Utilities. ^Real Utilities benchmarks its electricity rates in January and July each year against the current publicly advertised discount rates of each of the 3 biggest electricity retailers in your state, which are currently AGL, Origin and Energy Australia, to ensure your Real Utilities electricity rates are cheaper.

What makes a be.home
HIGH PERFORMANCE HEATING AND COOLING
The latest technology is called geothermal, and it uses the consistently comfortable temperature of the soil to efficiently deliver comfort into your home all year round.
CLIMATE-CLEVER WINDOWS
Strategically located and specially designed and tested to respond to Sydney climate patterns. They deliver greater comfort inside your home than ordinary windows, helping control heating and cooling to create a brighter, cleaner, healthier experience.
STATE-OF-THE-ART INDUCTION COOK TOP
Induction cooktops deliver more convenient, energy efficient cooking. They’re safer for children, cooler to run in summer and easier to clean. What’s not to love about that!
SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEM
The electric boosted solar hot water system provides the assurance and delight of really efficient hot water, right when you need it - all year round.
MASTER POWER SWITCH
This allows you to conveniently turn on or off all nonessential lights and power sockets whenever you enter or leave your home – with just one switch.
WELL-POSITIONED VERTICAL SHADING
We’re delivering the right amount of shading on the right sides of the home to keep you cool in summer but still allow sun into the house in winter – so you enjoy a light-filled home and comfort when you need it.
Brilliantly designed to create exactly as much energy as you need for a great life.
Access to dedicated cycle ways
Recycled network for clean water
EXTRA COMFORT BARRIER
We’ve included an extra level of insulation which delivers a more stable temperature during the winter and summer months and helps you get more from your heating and cooling.
PREMIUM LED LIGHTING
This lighting technology is worlds apart in delivering light-filled homes at a fraction of the cost with less maintenance.

Our Be.Homes deliver the future of living right now – homes that are more thoughtful and more versatile than ever before. Enjoy a home that brings the outdoors inside, that harnesses natural light, and provides warmth in winter and cool respite in summer.
The Frasers Property design team has real experience and expertise in understanding what you want in a home and what really matters to you. We’re constantly refining and reimagining what an Ed.Square home can be can be and how we can deliver your dream home to you.
Our leading-edge Be.Home design with its “balanced energy” formula grew from many years of listening to people about
their homes and considering their needs against similarly sized and priced homes across greater Sydney.
We’ve drawn on these insights and the latest building science to develop the perfect combination of technologies and design features for our Be.Homes. They are homes with real lifestyle benefits for you and your family, available in a range of one, two, three and four bedroom designs.
Be empowered. Be greener, happier and healthier in your home. You’ll love your new Be.Home at Ed.Square, because it really has been created with you in mind.
Light filled, comfortable and easy to live in – Balanced Energy homes won’t cost the earth to run.
