Trentwood - 25 Trent Street, Glen Iris

<html><body>
<p>Continuing on our journey of taking a look at Melbourne's development along each tram line, we're kicking off 2017 with the 48 - the first of the "south of the river" routes, and the 75 - both of these routes leave/enter the city on the same corridor: Wellington Parade / Bridge Road.</p>

<p>As a reminder, I'm not including projects from the City of Melbourne or City of Port Phillip in any of these individual route analyses, for the simple reason that as the network "bunches" its routes the closer to the city, the more irrelevant an individual line becomes.</p>

<p>Nevertheless, such is the nature of the tram network in the east, that routes interact with each other on a grander scale compared to Melbourne's north (use the navigation section below to view routes in the north already covered) where the network is just like our heavy rail: mainly radial. The 48 &amp; 75 could be described quite easily as radial as well however the routes link up with others in the inner suburbs, particularly in Richmond, Kew, Hawthorn and Camberwell.</p>

<p>The 48 uses the relatively new Collins Street to Spring Street southbound junction and then continues along Wellington Parade and is one of the two main routes on Bridge Road. Crossing the river the 48 turns north to Kew and then continues in a north-easterly direction to its terminus at North Balwyn.</p>

<p>The 75 begins outside Edithad Stadium and runs down to Flinders Street and shares the same track as the 48 along Wellington Parade and Bridge Route.</p>

<p>Where the 48 turns northward once crossing the river, the 75 heads through Hawthorn, turns south on Power Street then heads east along Riversdale Road - sharing the tracks with route 70 in the process - then at Camberwell junction heads south east to Toorak Road and then all the way out to Vermont South on the Burwood Highway.</p>

<h2>Richmond</h2>

<p>It should come as no surprise that within Richmond, the section of Bridge Road between Punt Road and Church street has a very high concentration of projects - 12 in total.  Further down the hill toward the river, 5 projects are located either side of the tram corridor.</p>

<p>Both 48 and 75 routes diverge as Bridge Road crosses the Yarra River and both routes within the suburb of Hawthorn (and Hawthorn East) have a smattering of projects, although not on the same scale as Richmond</p>

<h2>Kew &amp; Balwyn (route 48)</h2>

<p>Kew junction features 5 projects with a further 3 located not far from the tram corridor. As route 48 climbs up the hill, the project density becomes sparse however there is one notable project located - depicted below - not far from the terminus.</p>

<h2>Camberwell, Burwood &amp; Vermont South (route 75)</h2>

<p>The 75 is one of the longest routes in the city and transitions through a wide variety of streetscapes.  In particular, as the route leaves Burwood-proper, the wider Burwood Highway sees the tram route run in its own right of way.  Interestingly, in this section, near Middleborough Road, a cluster of pipeline projects exists.  Ditto near Deakin University and Burwood East - clusters of 2 and 3 projects exist.</p>

<p>Following on from <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/welcome-to-boom-town-melbournes-low-rise-high-density-projects-in-one-long-list">Friday's list of 2, 3 and 4 floor low-rise high-density projects</a>, today we're looking exclusively at projects which have either 5 or 6 floors.</p>

<p>There are 243 current projects in the list below and while the overwhelming majority of projects are residential, there are a few notable commercial projects such as the ABC's expansion of its offices and broadcast facilities on <a href="/new-apartments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a>, the <a href="/developments/burnley-vic-3121">East Edge Botannica</a> project in Richmond and <a href="/developments/hawthorn-vic-3122">8 Hall Street</a> in Hawthorn.</p>

<p>Factoring in purely residential projects, the list of projects below yields 10,781 dwellings from planning assessment to construction.</p>

<h2>The low-rise high-density story</h2>

<p>Combining the numbers across both lists - that is, buildings with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 floors - there are just under 18,000 dwellings across 453 projects (2 more low-rise projects have been added since Friday's article). 46% of all projects on Urban.com.au <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments">Project Database</a> have 6 or less floors.</p>

<p>Furthermore Urban.com.au has site area data on 214 of the 453 projects outlined in the table above; this subset has an average of 312 dwellings per hectare. Dwellings per hectare = 10,000 ÷ (Site Area m<sup>2</sup> ÷ Dwellings).</p>

<p>Where Friday's list has projects which provide a good insight into what is possible in the residential growth zone throughout the Metropolitan area, today's list looks at the small step up into areas where suburban structure plans encourage higher-density development.</p>

Melbourne's low-rise high-density: all projects with 5 or 6 floors in one long list

<html><body>
<p>The latest planning application for Glen Iris is adding weight to the suburb's credentials as it emerges as an apartment hotspot. Situated 10 kilometres from Melbourne's CBD, the suburb has seen an elevated amount of apartment-based activity of late, with developers keen to secure a foothold within the locale which is split between City of Stonnington and City of Boroondara.</p>

<p>Urban.com.au is tracking 638 new apartments within Glen Iris spread over 13 separate developments. Small-scale numbers relative to inner city development, yet impressive when considering the suburb is both a youngish apartment market and heavily favoured by owner-occupiers.</p>

<p>City of Stonnington are currently advertising the suburb's largest intended development to date, located at <a href="/buildings/highpark-1559-1567-high-street-glen-iris">1559-1567 High Street</a>. The proposal which rises progressively to eight levels would hold 148 dwellings if approved. Southbank-based Gardenier Pty Ltd is the proponent with ROTHELOWMAN responsible for the design.</p>

<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/image10_2.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Indicative view from High Street and Brixton Rise.

Image courtesy ROTHELOWMAN" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Indicative view from High Street and Brixton Rise. Image courtesy ROTHELOWMAN</figcaption></figure><p>Clad predominantly in varying tones of glass, 1559-1567 High Street holds a mixture of one, two, two plus and three bedroom apartments. The development carries a nominal value of $36 million and would see 15 three bedroom dwellings included in addition to 6 two bedroom plus options, both of which point toward the development team's recognition of Glen Iris as a suburb capable of holding a greater number of higher-end dwellings.</p>

<p>Elsewhere and Glen Iris currently sees three apartment projects at construction. Gardiner Rise, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/grace-1555-malvern-road-glen-iris">Grace</a> and <a href="/new-apartments/glen-iris-vic-3146">Vivid on Malvern</a> are all at basement stage with the latter the latest project for St Kilda Road-based AG Constructions; yet another of a new brigade of builders devoted solely to the delivery of apartment projects.</p>

<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/image11_3.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Gardiner Rise and Vivid on Malvern in progress"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="259" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image11_3.jpg?itok=Nr7fCmRS" title="Gardiner Rise and Vivid on Malvern in progress" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Gardiner Rise and Vivid on Malvern in progress</figcaption></figure><p>Soon to join those at construction are Lennox Glen Iris, which was <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/samuel-property-and-the-new-residential-zones">featured recently</a>, and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/trentwood-25-trent-street-glen-iris">Trentwood</a>, Kokoda Property Group's latest residential project. Featuring 92 apartments within a Hayball-designed building, Trentwood will feature Carr Design interiors within the development dominated by two and three bedroom dwellings which hold internal spaces of up to 123sqm.</p>

<p>Also at Registrations and Sales is <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/leopold-stonnington-18-leopold-street-glen-iris">Leopold</a> which presents as more typical Glen Iris apartment developments in that it is low-rise in nature and within a close distance to either of the suburbs two train stations: Gardiner or Glen Iris.</p>

<p>The balance of project within postcode 3146 are at planning, with three notable developments in waiting. Calabro Capital's <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/iris-residences-1581-malvern-road-glen-iris">1579-1581 Malvern Road</a> is a recent entrant into the Urban.com.au project database as are <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/1729-1735-malvern-road-glen-iris">1729-1735 Malvern Road</a> and the Peddle Thorp-designed <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/1655-1659-malvern-road-glen-iris">1655-1659 Malvern Road</a>.</p>

<p>Sizeable apartment developments applications are also in progress for the following Glen Iris addresses (some of which have yet to enter the Urban.com.au project database) include:</p>

<ul>
<li>1687 Malvern Road</li>
	<li>7-11 Elm Road Glen Iris (developed by modular builder Modscape)</li>
	<li><a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/1639-1645-malvern-road-glen-iris">1639-1645 Malvern Road</a></li>
	<li>1795 Malvern Road</li>
	<li>1693-1699 Malvern Road</li>
	<li>1542 High Street</li>
	<li>
<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/1655-1659-malvern-road-glen-iris">1655-1659 Malvern Road</a> (Notice of Decision stage)</li>
	<li>1789 and 1791-1793 Malvern Road</li>
</ul>
<p>With Malvern Road and High Street a focal point of apartment development within the area, Glen Iris's forward apartment development pipeline is looking particularly strong. This coupled with the desirability of the suburb leads Urban.com.au to ear tag Glen Iris as an apartment hotspot both now and into the medium term.</p>
