The site at Bradfield City Centre will deliver new homes and jobs alongside the opening of the Western Sydney Airport and metro in 2026, NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully said.
A draft master plan, released earlier this year, includes a pool, a central park, 10,000 new homes and tree-lined pedestrian-only streets.
Mr Scully said the mixed-used site set across 4.8 hectares has space for the 1000 new homes, as well as commercial childcare, hotel, retail and medical facilities.
It is the first parcel of land to be released by the government for private development.
"This is the first opportunity for the private sector to get involved as a flagship partner in the development of the new city," Mr Scully said in a statement.
Construction for the first phase of the business precinct is underway with completion set for the end of next year.
It will include up to 40,000 square metres of warehouse space, ancillary offices, a 154-room hotel, conference centre, gym, and retail, food and beverage outlets.
Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Catherine King said the precinct will support thousands of jobs, generate economic activity and "unlock countless opportunities for this growing Sydney region".
The new airport is more than 70 per cent complete and on track to open by late 2026, she added.
