Belle Box Hill - 710 Station Street, Box Hill

<html><body>
In hindsight it seemed like such an obvious choice that Box Hill would be sit at the peak of high density living in greater Melbourne. A natural hub with multimodal transport options, established health, retail and entertainment offerings and a diverse population, it has the ingredients to underpin what is an now unprecedented boom in apartment living within postcode 3128.

In all actuality Box Hill's rise has been a long process to this point, with a string of unrealised projects over the past decade. While Whitehorse City Council have been proactive in accepting measured higher density living within Box Hill's core, the market dynamics were such that various projects never actually proceeded to construction.

It has only been in the last 12 to 18 months that Box Hill has asserted itself as the dominant suburban apartment hot spot, with the exclamation mark coming in the form of Whitehorse Towers. With its 511 apartments selling in no time and its taller tower soon to reach 115 metres, Whitehorse Towers is the first in a new batch of buildings that will transform Box Hill.

<figcaption>A selection of Box Hill projects that never saw the light of day</figcaption></figure>A sweep through the Urban.com.au Project Database shows 23 current residential apartment projects within Box Hill, with in excess of 2,250 apartments in play. Of these 23 projects, 9 are currently under construction with the latest to join the ranks being Elland Avenue which began piling during November.

Further to these a number of other noteworthy projects are also on the Box Hill radar, the most prominent being 12-14 Nelson Road which is seeking approval for a 22 storey building containing 164 dwellings. Whitehorse City Council have indicated 12-14 Nelson Road is satisfactory in its site context and two further apartment developments at 5 Rodgerson Road and 9-11 Bruce Street received planning permits during October, the latter project advancing via VCAT.

Factoring in the projects that have yet to enter the Urban.com.au Project Database, the overall count of current apartment projects centred around Box Hill's core would exceed 30; a massive number in context.

<figcaption>Box Hill's largest to date - Sky One and Whitehorse Towers</figcaption></figure>The smaller projects underpin Box Hill's apartments success story, it's the tall projects surrounding Whitehorse Road that garner public attention. The latest to break cover is the most recent incarnation of 545 Station Street which has appeared in many guises, but is now known as Sky One.

Expected to be Box Hill's tallest development, Sky One is championed by Golden Age Group after their purchase of the site from AXF Poperty. Registrations of interest are open for the project which will be officially launched during early 2016.

The northern side of Whitehorse Road will likely also receive a substantial tower with plans afoot for a mixed-use building tower for the Spotlight Box Hill outlet that may well usurp Sky One as the suburb's tallest building.

<figcaption>9-11 Ellingworth Parade and 701 Station Street.

The buoyant residential sector has evidently given vendors confidence to hit the market with the expectation of receiving top dollar for their respective sites.

Seven large residential development land parcels are currently on offer within Box Hill, with two holding approval for residential schemes, namely 701 Station Street and 9-11 Ellingworth Parade. These sites follow hot on the heels of 820 Whitehorse Road which was sold recently with the onsite commercial complex expected to make way for a tower in excess of 25 levels.

The frequency and scale of the residential projects flowing into Box Hill have seen it become the apartment hot spot right now. A time of intense change is upon the suburb.

The following is a list of all Box Hill projects we have added to the Urban.com.au project database to date.

Box Hill: The new suburban apartment powerhouse

<html><body>
Little Projects' Central South Yarra development located at 3 Yarra Street has achieved a major construction milestone: topping out.

On Wednesday the 11th of February, Little Projects held a traditional construction event to mark the milestone with an olive tree hoisted up to the rooftop where it spent three days; the placement of a tree when a building tops out is to symbolise growth and bring luck to a development.

Michael Fox, Managing Director of Little Projects said "today we celebrated the completion of the 30 level structure of Central South Yarra, which caps off another successful milestone for our landmark new development. The top level will transform over the coming months into an incredible world-class residents' rooftop retreat".

Central South Yarra is rounded out with 357 apartments, superb access to public transport and all the amenity that South Yarra is known for right at the front door. RotheLowman were responsible for exterior design with interiors by Plus Architecture and construction carried out by Hickory Group.

Little Projects tells Urban.com.au overall completion and commencement of settlement in Central South Yarra is due mid 2015.
