Seven projects added as Boroondara booms
Boroondara continues to be an irresistible prospect for apartment developers as evidenced by the seven fresh projects added recently to the Urban.com.au Project Database.
Spread over Kew, Hawthorn, Hawthorn East and Balwyn North, the seven projects would add hundreds of new apartments to the municipality. Further they take to 18 the total number of new Boroondara projects entered into the database during 2016.

Derby Place - 369 High Street, Kew
Derby Place enters the database as the latest project for Port Melbourne-based Crema Group. Designed by Fender Katsalidis and CBG Architects the project will feature 1,2 and 3 bedroom apartments set above an activated streetscape.
The six level project features amenities such as a garden terrace, lounge, library, private dining space and bar. Crema Constructions will build Derby Place.
Boroondara at large
With the inception of the above projects, Boroondara now maintains 72 separate project entries in the Urban.com.au Project Database; that is projects in the development pipeline, but yet to reach completion.
As with most areas of Melbourne the listings are heavily skewed in favour of residential use, although a small number of commercial projects are present.
Working on the assumption that all projects will be realised, Boroondara would see an additional 3,300 apartments spring from the current crop of listings.
