Urban's three favourite things about Huntington Apartments:

Huntington Apartments - 1408-1418 Centre Road, Clayton South

Cedar Woods’ environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) strategy has resulted in the early adoption of many new environmental measures that will soon be required under the new NCC.

Electric vehicle (EV) chargers are becoming a standard inclusion in many apartment developments nowadays.&nbsp;

Demand continues to increase for EV outlets across the country as more Australia’s move toward a more economical and sustainable future.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4124 project_image_fid=187628]

Last month, Building and Energy Ministers from across the nation agreed to update the National Construction Code (NCC) minimum energy efficiency requirement from six to seven stars to ensure the homes built now are equipped for the future.

The reforms, which will commence from May next year, will include additional energy efficiency measures, including additional insulation, high quality glazing, increased focus on solar orientation, energy efficient appliances, roof-top solar and batteries, all of which will improve amenity and drive down energy bills.

The Ministers also agreed it was critical to make new homes electric vehicle-ready to avoid the costly exercise of retrofitting chargers.

Federal Industry Minister Ed Husic said new apartment buildings would also have to incorporate base infrastructure for future cabling and control-point installation to make them EV charger-ready.

One development group buying into planning for tomorrow is ASX-listed, Cedar Woods.

Cedar Woods’ environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) strategy has resulted in the early adoption of many new environmental measures that will soon be required under the new NCC.

From achieving 7-star NaTHERS ratings, incorporating solar energy, zero landfill technology and EV infrastructure across a range of residential and commercial properties nationally, Cedar Woods recognises the role for developers to create sustainable communities that seek to minimise carbon emissions.

Cedar Woods’ Managing Director Nathan Blackburne said the property developer was proud of its reputation for being environmentally and socially responsible.

“We continually look for ways to reduce our ecological footprint and think about tomorrow,” Blackburne said.&nbsp;

“We are constantly assessing the design of all of our projects to ensure they adapt to the changing world in which we live and meet the needs of purchasers now and in the future.”

In Victoria, EV chargers have already been installed at Cedar Woods’ Huntington Apartments and are proposed for Aster Apartments at Jackson Green in Clayton South.&nbsp;

Residents at Aster and Huntington Apartments will also be able to hire an electric vehicle, a Tesla Model 3 by the hour. As the first car share initiative for Cedar Woods, the developer is hoping the program will encourage the uptake of EV’s in Australia.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4124 project_image_fid=187629]

Blackburne said at Glenside, in Adelaide’s east in South Australia all apartments were designed EV ready and there are two chargers at Botanica Apartments for resident use.&nbsp;

Monarch Apartments, situated within the development, is also the first to incorporate new Cedar Woods’ apartment standards.

“Our new requirements mean EV infrastructure must be installed in a way that services all cars in the building. This includes switchboard sizing, off peak load management and cable trays for future EV charging installations by the purchasers,” Blackburne said.

Coupled with a multitude of other environmental features, the future proofing consideration of the building contributed to its early success, achieving 70 per cent sold out within three months of launching, and a 7.7-star NatHERS rating.&nbsp;As a result, the apartments began construction five months ahead of schedule.

“We recognise that our customers are becoming more environmentally conscious and increasingly they are expecting energy efficient features in homes.

“Planning for tomorrow will future-proof today’s projects, with all aspects from initial design through to approvals and the cost of electricity to be considered in development projects that are currently in the early-stages,” Blackburne added.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8950 project_image_fid=187622]

Head of Energy and Infrastructure at the Electric Vehicle Council, Ross De Rango said that planning and preparation for a world with electric vehicles needs to happen now.&nbsp;

“EVs are the way of the future, so it is important we set up that future now. With the new National Construction Codes all apartment buildings will soon be required to incorporate readiness for electric vehicle chargers into their developments,” Rango said.

“It is far easier and cheaper to set up EV chargers during the construction process than installing them later down the track, particularly for large scale apartment developments.

<h2>Advantages of Electric Vehicles</h2>

Rango says that recent research shows that even if EV was charged by coal-fired electricity, it would still generate lower net emissions than internal combustion engine vehicles.

“As electricity grids become cleaner, so will EVs,” he said.&nbsp;

Reduced operating costs were also a significant motivator for people wanting to buy an EV, 
which are sometimes up to 10 times cheaper to run.&nbsp;

Rango said that the move to EVs would ultimately result in the $50 billion per year currently 
spent on importing fuel for road transport being redirected. With some distributed to the electricity sector to generate and deliver the extra electricity needed, a majority will instead be tracked back into the pockets of Australians.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4124 project_image_fid=203080]

<h2>Supply and demand issues</h2>

Rango suggested there was no doubt Australian consumers wanted to buy EVs.&nbsp;

“The problem is we have a supply issue and the reason for this is because every other developed country, other than Australia and Russia, have minimum requirements for fuel efficiency standards and the introduction of EVs.”

The current supply issue is the key limiting factor preventing Australians from getting into EVs faster. In 2020 just 0.75 per cent of new car sales in Australia were EVs, in comparison to Norway, who boasts the biggest proportion of all new cars sold, with EVs comprising 70 per cent of the market.

<h2>Cost implications&nbsp;</h2>

Rango said the way forward was for developers to begin installing the EV stations during construction when the cost was significantly lower, compared to installing after.&nbsp;

“It is expected the cost of installing chargers during development will have a minimal impact on prices,” he said.

“However, if there is one resident who has an EV after the apartments are developed, the cost to incorporate a charging point could weigh heavily on everyone else in the building, with upgrades potentially costing tens of thousands of dollars.

“Incorporating charging infrastructure into construction projects will help to break down barriers to EV ownership and boost consumer confidence in EVs.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8950 project_image_fid=187621]

<h2>Preparing for tomorrow</h2>

In addition to incorporating chargers, Rango said developers would also need to have a plan for how charging will work in their apartment projects.&nbsp;

“If every car in the complex was charging at the same time, it would be very costly. Developers need to include systems that will schedule the majority of EV charging to off-peak times, when electricity will be cheaper, such as at night when residents are sleeping and there is spare network capacity.”

“There is also a need to incorporate costs in a way that doesn’t impact residents who are not using EVs. This could be done through specified strata fees or an external network provider,” Rango said.

Cedar Woods commits to build for tomorrow, today

Aster apartments will be one of two buildings in Cedar Woods' Jackson Green masterplan that will home a Tesla Model 3 for resident hire

Residents of Aster apartments will be able to hire an electric vehicle by the hour thanks to a new partnership between developer Cedar Woods, Origin Energy and e-mobility and proptech company, Ohmie Go.

Belonging to the larger 6.5-hectare masterplanned Jackson Green community, Aster apartments will be one of two buildings that will home a Tesla Model 3 for resident hire, providing an eco-friendly transport option to residents.

<a href="/buildings/aster-apartments-456-haughton-road-clayton-south"><img alt="" height="3024" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/ohmie_go_tesla.jpg" width="3778" /></a>

Using the Ohmie Go app, the car can be picked up and paid for at an hourly, daily or weekend rate, for as little as $15 per hour.

This partnership comes as the Victorian Government announces hopes for&nbsp;half of all new cars sold to be zero-emission by 2030.

Cedar Woods chief operating officer Patrick Archer explained the influence of existing infrastructure on the decision to offer carshare in the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4124 project_image_fid=90887]

&ldquo;Jackson Green is well serviced by public transport meaning car ownership is not always a necessary expense. We consider the needs of people in our communities and we believe that carshare services will bridge the gap between public transport and car ownership to add great value to the lives of Jackson Green residents&rdquo;, Archer said.

The Tesla Model 3 will be partially subsidised by Origin Energy who has also partnered with Cedar Woods on its sold-out Huntington apartments.

Huntington will deliver the most sustainable development to date in the Jackson Green masterplan, boasting a 40KW solar PV system to power common areas and communal electric vehicle chargers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4124 project_image_fid=90888]

Kyle Bolto, Ohmie Go CEO and founder said the initiative will create a real alternative to traditional car ownership.

&ldquo;This initiative will deliver sustainable mobility for the exclusive use of residents at Jackson Green&rsquo;s Huntington and Aster apartments,&rdquo; Bolto said.

<blockquote>
&quot;Fully managed, on-site e-mobility and its integration with the built-form is the inevitable progression for all new large-scale residential developments.&rdquo;
</blockquote>

Jackson Green will be the first residential development in Victoria to offer Ohmie Go.

Featuring 128 apartments across three buildings, Aster apartments in one, two and three-bedroom configurations are currently selling.

The vibrant Jackson Green community welcomes Huntington Apartments in Clayton South

<html><body>
The Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) and Monash Council is inviting members of the community to have their say on the PMP Printing site in Clayton as part of Phase 2 of its community engagement process.

The PMP Printing precinct is a 10-hectare site located on the corner of Carinish Road and Browns Road in Clayton currently zoned for industrial land uses. Currently occupied by a printing factory, manufacturing at the site has significantly decreased over recent decades, according to the VPA.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/pmp-printing-site-plan.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="10-hectare site located on the corner of Carinish Road and Browns Road in Clayton.

" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>10-hectare site located on the corner of Carinish Road and Browns Road in Clayton.</figcaption></figure>The VPA's vision is to renew the 'Strategic Site' as a predominantly residential neighbourhood supported by a mix of businesses, pedestrian friendly streets, a town square and local parks for active and passive use.

<blockquote>
The PMP Printing site has the potential to accommodate a large share of Monash’s future population growth, providing opportunities for people to live and work within the municipality. The renewed precinct will have a higher density and greater mix of housing than the surrounding established suburbs of Monash. 

The precinct will transition from lower scale three storey townhouses adjacent to existing neighbours up to eight storey buildings towards the centre of the precinct. Commercial buildings along Carinish Road are also proposed up to eight storeys.

- Victorian Planning Authority
</blockquote>

To achieve its vision for the site, the VPA has prepared a concept plan outlining the development intent at the PMP Printing site to ensure that the proposed density is served sufficiently with an appropriate level of infrastructure. This concept plan has been informed by earlier community engagement and technical reports. 

The delivery of infrastructure is being carefully considered by the VPA against the following principles:

<ul>
<li>Principle 1 - The 20 minute neighbourhood</li>
	<li>Principle 2 - Transport</li>
	<li>Principle 3 - Open Space</li>
	<li>Principle 4 - Building design</li>
	<li>Principle 5 - Employment</li>
	<li>Principle 6 - Housing affordability and diversity</li>
</ul>
Following phase 2 of the community engagement process, the concept plan will form the basis of the comprehensive development plan for the site, which will go through a planning scheme amendment process. The VPA and Monash expect to undertake further community engagement during the Amendment advertising process.

VPA and Monash seek community input for PMP Printing Strategic Site

<html><body>
Cedar Woods Properties has unveiled the next stage of its master planned Jackson Green development in Clayton South with the launch of Huntington Apartments. 

Located 20 km from Melbourne’s CBD on the site of the former Sigma Pharmaceuticals complex, Jackson Green is a 6.5-hectare site comprising 151 new houses and 400 apartments around a central park in Clayton South.

Huntington Apartments will join Wattle Apartments (completed earlier in 2018) and the under construction Gardenia Apartments on the redeveloped brownfield site and will be the largest apartment building in the development to date.

Rising nine-storeys on the corner of Centre Road, it will feature 165 residences spread across two buildings designed by DKO Architecture and will comprise a collection of one, two and three bedroom apartments, ranging in size from 52-101 sqm.

<blockquote>
"Jackson Green is a boutique community of high density terraced homes set around a beautiful central park that is poised to set a new standard for living in Clayton South. DKO has created a master plan that combines spacious three and four-bedroom town homes and contemporary apartments. Catering to a diverse community, this brownfield development will embody all the ideals associated with life in the leafy south eastern suburbs of Melbourne."

<figcaption>The dual-building Huntington Apartments at Jackson Green. Image: Cedar Woods</figcaption></figure>Huntington Apartments aims to build on the growing trend towards creating communities within apartment developments through the provision of  a host of common areas and facilities such as a gymnasium and landscaped podium courtyard connecting the two buildings, in addition to a rooftop garden and BBQ area.

Cedar Woods expects Huntington Apartments will appeal to growing demand from investors, downsizers and first-home buyers. The developer's confidence in the project has been reinforced with over 26 per cent of apartments already sold since the sales launch at the beginning of February 2019.

A large aspect of Jackson Green's appeal lies in its connectivity - the project is well serviced by existing infrastructure such as Monash University, Monash Medical Centre, Clayton Shopping Centre, two train stations, cafes, restaurants, hospitals, golf courses and recreational trails.

Additionally, Jackson Green is located on the doorstep of the <a href="https://vpa.vic.gov.au/project/monash-employment-cluster/">Monash Employment and Innovation Cluster</a>, which boasts the largest concentration of jobs outside of the Melbourne CBD and includes employment hubs such as the Monash Medical Centre and Monash University.

The recently completed Central Park provides Jackson Green residents with green space to cater to the growing population and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Residents will also have direct access to the new Clayton Road community space along the elevated rail developed by the Level Crossing Removal Authority, which forms part of the linear park and a 17-kilometre walking and cycling path.

<figcaption>Caulfield -Dandenong Rail Crossing Removal. Image: Peter Bennetts via Aspect Studios</figcaption></figure>According to a Council report, the City of Kingston is estimated to grow by 24,000 people over the next 15 years, with apartments expected to make up 16 per cent of homes in the municipality by 2031. This is a relatively new trend, with buyers increasingly attracted to the lifestyle associated with apartment living, such as low maintenance homes, modern-style living and established amenities.

According to Cedar Woods, Huntington Apartments are due for completion in mid-2020.

<blockquote>
“We are already experiencing strong demand for these apartments due to the growing popularity of apartment living in the south east and proximity to Monash University. A tight rental market, with vacancy rates currently sitting at 1.9 per cent, points towards high demand and strong rental return for investors.

As high rise living becomes more popular, it’s important that we think about the community element in the design. Therefore, we’ve incorporated a number of communal areas and facilities for residents to replace the traditional suburban garden and act as an extension to the home.

The area is popular with owner-occupiers and tenants who are both attracted to a low-maintenance lifestyle that is close to employment opportunities and amenities in the middle-ring south-eastern suburbs."

Cedar Woods launches Huntington at Jackson Green in Melbourne's South-East

<html><body>
Two firms with a history of development within the Monash National Employment and Innovation Cluster (MNEC) are angling for bigger projects.

Both Salta Properties and Cedar Woods are pushing plans which are larger than their previous respective developments within Monash. Salta is all but assured of the right to build a substantial office complex as an extension of its Nexus Corporate precinct whilst Cedar Woods is pushing for hundreds of new dwellings within its Jackson Green development.

At either end of the MNEC, both intended developments speak to the increasing scale of development expectations in the area. These expectations would only be enhanced by the State Government's proposed Melbourne orbital rail proposal which has two stations in the heart of MNEC.

<figcaption>Image: Gray Puksand</figcaption></figure>Salta last week received backing for its proposed office complex at 633-647 Springvale Road, after nabbing the corner site for a reported $11 million during 2015.

Adjacent to Salta's existing Nexus Corporate precinct and spanning 2.4 hectares, the first phase of the Springvale Road development site found favour with Monash City Council and encompasses 21,226 square metres of net leasable area. That space is configured over two separate buildings with Gray Puksand undertaking the design.

Existing campus-style buildings within Nexus Corporate have traditionally been smaller in stature to date; the freshly completed Nexus 10 building holds in excess of 6,000 square metres of net leasable area. 

The upsizing of expectations for 633-647 Springvale Road also includes a very substantial 785 basement vehicle spaces, end of trip facilities and provision for 197 bicycle bays.

Two additional future buildings are slated for the balance of 633-647 Springvale Road, whilst Salta also has an eye toward delivering a high-rise hotel at <a href="/news/salta-pursues-mulgraves-first-hotel">12 Nexus Court</a> which sits within the initial Nexus Corporate precinct.

Midway between Westall and Huntingdale stations, the residential development has to date seen townhouse and small scale apartment stages built onsite. The gradual upswing in development size now sees the DKO Architecture-designed Gardenia Apartments under construction; it includes 74 dwellings over six levels.

Cedar Woods are now seeking approval for two additional residential buildings housing a combined 165 apartments. Also designed by DKO Architecture, the taller of the duo reaches 9 levels.

The intended apartment split for the project at planning which is sited over 1408-1418 Centre Road sees 20 single, 131 double and 12 triple bedroom apartments.

<figcaption>A small section of the M-City site</figcaption></figure>Whilst the above duo seek bigger development outcomes they are minuscule relative to the largest current development within the MNEC, which also happens to be the largest mixed-use development being delivered outside of Melbourne's CBD. Clayton's M-City is now at full construction with Multiplex overseeing works for the $1 billion project over a 35,000 square metre site.

Backed by Saraceno Group and Schiavello Group, M-City includes 643 apartments and serviced apartments, a 4.5 star Mantra hotel, up to 60 specialty retail spaces, 17,330 square metres of office space and 1,905 car parks supporting a projected population of about 4,000 residents, workers and shoppers.
