Melbourne is set to witness one of the largest masterplanned community developments, as Hamton, in partnership with Moonee Valley Racing Club and Hostplus, transforms the Moonee Valley Racecourse into a world-class destination.

The $2 billion redevelopment will comprise of eight precincts, featuring residential developments, community hubs, green open spaces and dining options. The latest addition to this grand project is the hotly anticipated Trackside House apartments.

These apartments offer residents a chance to live right alongside the Moonee Valley Racecourse and enjoy unparalleled views of the city skyline. Designed by Rothelowman with interior design by Carr, Trackside House comprises 202 residences, ranging from one-bedroom apartments starting at $565,000 to grand three and four-bedroom residences, including the penthouse priced at $5 million.

With its prime location, Trackside House is the first trackside residence to be offered in the masterplan. Residents will have access to premium amenities, and the opportunity to enjoy the unique lifestyle the masterplanned community offers.

Trackside is joined by three other residential projects, with Feehan Row and Thomas Street both sold out and limited opportunities remaining in Stonepine House, showcasing the demand and interest buyers have shown in the community. 

The masterplanned community development will also feature various public spaces, including Stonepine Square, Cox Place, Tote Park, Rumpus, and The Stalls at Moonee Valley Racecourse. These public spaces provide a gathering place for visitors and residents to enjoy a dynamic, healthy lifestyle.

Stonepine Square is an idyllic gathering space built around existing turn-of-the-century Stone Pine trees. It features Mediterranean-themed plantings, shady pergolas draped with vines, and is perfect for a casual lunch or BBQ.

Cox Place is the vibrant heart of Moonee Valley Park, providing access to shopping, dining, work, and wellness. It is the ideal place to gather, linger, dine, work, and celebrate in this civic heart.

Tote Park, the first publicly accessible space available to visitors and residents, is now open. It boasts spacious rolling lawns, serpentine gardens, and a nature playground for families.

Rumpus is a destination playground where children can run free and enjoy skipping, jumping, and rolling over. Parents can relax in the adjacent café or enjoy a picnic with produce from Cox Place while keeping an eye on their little ones.

The Stalls at Moonee Valley Racecourse, situated in the historic spot where racehorses gather on race days, will transform into an active place for the community to enjoy during the rest of the year.

The Arena, another public space in the masterplan, will change the face of Moonee Valley Racecourse. It will serve as a welcoming space for the community to gather and enjoy local festivals and family-friendly events throughout the year.

The transformation of Moonee Valley Racecourse is set to be the biggest in the club’s history, with a brand-new world-class sporting and events grandstand that will serve members and the community for the next century.

The Moonee Valley Racecourse fields, reserved for racing for only 30 days per year, will be transformed on non-racing days into a unique area for residents, workers, club members, and visitors to enjoy a dynamic, healthy lifestyle.

The grand project has already sparked interest from buyers and investors alike, and with the launch of Trackside House, it's only set to grow. The Moonee Valley Racecourse redevelopment will undoubtedly change the face of Melbourne's property landscape and become a destination for years to come.
