Twenty Park - 20 Park Street, Moonee Ponds

<html><body>
<p>It's very easy to assume that Melbourne is only building skyscrapers and high-rise towers in the inner city and low-density detached housing on the fringes.  Skyscraper proposals attract headlines across a wide range of media outlets but there's an equally huge story of Melbourne's current development scene that is easily overlooked.</p>

<p>What of the middle ground between skyscraper or sprawl?  There are in fact hundreds of small stature apartment projects in Melbourne's suburbs that are easily glossed over.</p>

<p>At the time of writing there are 983 projects listed on the Urban.com.au Project Database.  208 of those are made up of either 2, 3 or 4 floors and when combined contain over 7,000 dwellings across all phases of the development cycle: that is from planning to construction.</p>

<p>If the search criteria is expanded to include projects up to and including 5 floors, the total number of projects rockets up to 339 with over 12,000 dwellings in play.</p>

<p>The following (long!) list is every low-rise project with either 2, 3 or 4 floors that Urban.com.au is tracking on within our  <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments">Project Database</a>.  <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/">Data Portal</a> subscribers can pull this information directly by exporting the database and filtering through a spreadsheet program like Excel or OpenOffice Calc.</p>

<p>I'm going to let the database do the talking from this point on - so get off your mobile, turn your tablet to portrait layout or jump on a desktop/laptop: here's Melbourne's low-rise high-density story.</p>

Welcome to boom-town: Melbourne's low-rise high-density projects in one long list

<html><body>
<p>Already underpinned by a handful of current apartment developments, Moonee Ponds looks set to receive as many as 400 new apartments over two separate residential buildings.</p>

<p>The suburb's two main property developers are behind the respective developments. The Moloney Group continues to add to their pipeline of projects in and around the Moonee Ponds Activity Centre with 687 Mount Alexander Road, while Cremorne-based Caydon by virtue of their purchase of the expansive 13,390sqm Readings site weigh in with that site's first offering, 36 Margaret Street.</p>

<figcaption>Amnon Weber's design for 687 Mount Alexander Road</figcaption></figure><p>Revised plans have been submitted for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/687-mount-alexander-road-moonee-ponds">687 Mount Alexander Road</a> in response to requests made by Moonee Valley City Council. In its current form 687 Mount Alexander Road would see 220 apartments created within a 14 level residential tower. Originally prepared during December 2014, the rejigged design also sees the creation of six new retail spaces at ground level with a total of 548sqm available.</p>

<p>Within the Amnon Weber-designed tower are 94 x 1 bedroom apartments, 122 x two bedroom apartments and 4 x three bedroom apartments designated as penthouses. 167 car parking spaces and 134 bicycle bays are catered for within two basement levels.</p>

<p>Post the completion of One9 Apartments, The Moloney Group have <a href="http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/west/moonee-ponds-to-become-mecca-for-highrises/story-fngnvmj7-1226880892573">four separate development plots</a> in their Moonee Ponds portfolio. 687 Mount Alexander Road joins fellow 14-level proposal <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/central-35-33-35-hall-street-moonee-ponds">33 Hall Street</a> as projects which have gone to council on behalf of the developer.</p>

<figcaption>Preliminary marketing image for 36 Margaret Street</figcaption></figure><p>Elsewhere and Fender Katsalidis Architects have landed in Moonee Ponds with a scheme for 176 dwellings within 36 Margaret Street. Conceived for Caydon, the project consists of 79 x single bedroom apartments, 34 singles with an additional flexi room and 63 x two bedroom options.</p>

<p>Oculus have devised a green and timber rooftop deck with entertainment pods, inground spa, hanging chairs and an expansive dining area included. 36 Margaret Street represents the first phase of Caydon's Moonee Ponds precinct, with a further three stages of development to follow. It's unknown whether Caydon will go with <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/hall-st-40-hall-street-moonee-ponds">40 Hall Street</a> which went to council under previous site owner Leighton Properties; 40 Hall Street shapes as forming part of Stage 2 of the site's development.</p>

<p>As part of future development of the Readings plot, a new pedestrian thoroughfare with bisect the site, linking Homer Street and Hall Street. Adjacent to the thoroughfare will be a half acre Oculus-designed garden and leisure area for use by residents.</p>
