Twenty Two Courtney - 22 Courtney Street, North Melbourne

<html><body>
Parkville station, one of the five stations to be built as part of the new Melbourne Metro tunnel project has 22 projects in the development pipeline. As you might expect for Parkville, student accommodation projects dominate the area, so much so, they're in the minority using the 500m distance criteria.

As the crow flies, the University of Melbourne's Parkville campus is the dominant feature in the area, however, Carlton to the south and North Melbourne to the West are also scooped up.

Following on from the overview of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/an-overview-of-the-projects-in-the-vicinity-of-the-new-parkville-station">Anzac station's development pipeline</a>, we're also establishing a baseline for Parkville so we can monitor development change around the new stations over time.  

On the residential side of the ledger, there are 12 projects which will offer apartments for sale and collectively they have 791 dwellings contained within them at the time of writing.

However, when you flip over to the student accommodation side of the ledger, there are 11 projects which will contain some student accommodation and there are a whopping 3000+ beds contained within them (there are 22 projects in total, some of the offer both student accommodation and private apartments).

<figcaption>Parkville station and nearby projects in the development pipeline</figcaption></figure>Student accommodation projects are for the most part buildings of studios however some floorplate configurations include 2 and 3 bedroom apartments.

It should be no surprise to find so much student accommodation within the orbits of the University of Melbourne &amp; RMIT's primary campuses plus all the smaller campuses of universities and other tertiary institutions in the CBD.  

Should the second metro tunnel ever eventuate, Parkville station will become an interchange between the two lines, raising the station's profile even further which will possibly flow into the value of the land surrounding the station.

One stop down the line at North Melbourne (Arden), the state government will exert more control over the staging of development - as it is a major landholder in the area - however there is still a decent amount of pipeline activity already on land to the east of the station site.  North Melbourne (Arden) is the topic for the next iteration in this series.

See below for a full list of projects that are located within the vicinity of the new Parkville station.

An overview of the projects in the vicinity of the new Parkville station

The next squadron of mid-sized apartment projects are closing in on a construction start if current build tenders are any indication.

With large-scale apartment projects in somewhat of a lull, small and mid-sized apartment projects have stepped in to absorb current demand. The varied locations of these projects at tender is also set to reinforce the continued proliferation of apartment developments to all corners of Melbourne.

First though a trio of projects that are being retendered due to the demise of contractor Project Group. Having gone to the wall during March, the builder has left a number of apartment projects and their respective developers in a bind.

Curve on Essendon North's Keilor Road was set to begin piling during March, whilst the builds on both Herbert King and Merri Green were in progress.

After a short hiatus the newly selected builders will seemingly have the apartment projects back on track in the weeks to come.

<figcaption>Former projects under the control of Project Group</figcaption></figure>The remaining nine projects are dotted across Melbourne.

Burbank Group's Edge One in Werribee is at construction tender, with 100 apartments slated for the 10 level building. Urban.com.au <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/burbank-advances-plans-for-werribees-riverbend-site">covered the planning application</a> at the turn of the year.

Also on Melbourne's periphery is Gibson Property Corporation's latest apartment release within Mason Point. Set for a public release shortly, the project's tender is for delivery of the final stage within the mixed-use precinct consisting of a six storey build; 55 apartments above multiple retail spaces at ground level.

Swinging to Melbourne's South East and two further projects have progressed to construction tender.

Mercuri at 8 Elliott Avenue Carnegie is poised to join the throng of apartment projects under construction in the immediate area whilst Balfour Development Group is ready to advance Malvern &amp; York. That project consists of 16 luxury apartments across 3 levels, and much like Mercuri it finds itself in the middle of much higher-density construction activity.

<figcaption>Mason Point, Malvern &amp; York and The Rochester are close to beginning</figcaption></figure>The balance of projects are within inner city suburbs; Brunwick, Fitzroy, Abbotsford and North Melbourne are all set to see additional construction in the near future.

Breese Apartments in Brunswick was <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/emphasis-on-sustainable-design-for-milieus-latest-in-brunswick">highlighted earlier in the week</a> whilst 22-28 Courtney Street's sales campaign has seen it also advance to a build tender.

The remaining three projects all front Johnston Street. GURNER's The Spanish Club and The Rochester are both dedicated apartment developments in Fitzroy whilst 344 Johnston Street in Abbotsford is also at tender. The mixed-use scheme for the site was during August last year and looks to be edging closer to reality.
