North Melbourne

ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods has recently celebrated the groundbreaking for its luxury North Melbourne townhome development, 88 Leveson.&nbsp;

Continuing its long-standing relationship with Cedar Woods, Melbourne builder Burbank Urban has been appointed to deliver the project, with Cedar Woods’ Victorian Development Director James Bovell saying&nbsp;it’s an exciting time to be building in North Melbourne.

The sod turn of 88 Leveson answers demand for owner-occupiers increasingly looking for culturally-rich, amenity-driven, city-fringe locations moments from Melbourne’s CBD – with North Melbourne fast becoming one of Melbourne’s most sought-after locations for homebuyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178921]

“The area is going through transformation, yet still retains the rich character and history of its industrial past. This is finding interest with a broad range of homebuyers, who see value in the project and area to suit their unique lifestyles and circumstances,” Bovell said.&nbsp;

This sentiment is true for Marshall White Director Mark Dayman, who is receiving diverse homebuyer interest for 88 Leveson; with current purchasers including downsizers, a family with teenage children, as well as a young couple.

"88 Leveson was launched to a very receptive audience. The location enjoys proximity to Melbourne's CBD as well as its adjacency to an array of boutique restaurants and shops in the heart of what is fast becoming one of the city's trendiest suburbs”, says Dayman.

"North Melbourne showcases iconic heritage elements unique to the identity of Melbourne, and this is something that purchasers love about the location. The larger and higher priced residences in 88 Leveson have been the first to sell which is a rare feat for luxury off the-plan developments."

Downsizer purchasers Ann and Wayne were initially attracted to the convenience, meticulous design, and location of 88 Leveson and were looking to move from their current home in Camberwell to a more fresh, upcoming cultural hotspot closer to the CBD.

“We love the look of the building, its materials and design. The size of the development, its proximity to the CBD, local parklands and transport made it ideal for our next move.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178925]

“This was less a downsizing decision and more of one about lifestyle and location – from a very quiet suburban setting to more active engagement within the community. 88 Leveson, with its design, floorplans and roof terrace gave us all the things we were looking for in a new home.”

Once complete, 88 Leveson will encompass 15 architecturally designed three and four-bedroom townhomes designed by Genton Architecture, each with individual car parking and a private rooftop terrace in what is slated to be a bespoke, modern-industrial style offering that pays homage to the site’s identity as the Patrick’s badge works.&nbsp;

Located in the heart of North Melbourne, 88 Leveson is located two kilometres from the Melbourne CBD and within walking distance to universities, hospitals and the Queen Victoria Market.

“Burbank Urban is a proven performer in the residential sector, having delivered a number of innovative projects across their portfolio. Their consistent delivery of quality products offers purchasers confidence in the offering that 88 Leveson presents,” Bovell concluded.

Cedar Woods breaks ground for luxury North Melbourne project, 88 Leveson

Positioning itself as one of the city’s most dynamic and eclectic neighbourhoods, North Melbourne is home to a mix of established and new housing, along with a spat of commercial, industrial, retail and community facilities.&nbsp;&nbsp;

​​Since the 1980s, North Melbourne has slowly become gentrified due to its proximity to the city centre, with Errol and Victoria streets a popular hub for foodies, with a range of cafes and restaurants lining the strip.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178921]

Shopping strips such as Errol and Victoria streets are popular for their range of cafes, restaurants and boutiques.

The nearby Queensberry Street has also transformed itself into the home of the arts over the years, now hosting the Melbourne Fringe Festival yearly at the old North Melbourne Town Hall which is now known as the Arts House.&nbsp;

Delivering a boutique collection of townhomes to the heart of the suburb, Cedar Woods’ 88 Leveson builds on the heritage of North Melbourne with a design that pays homage to the area’s industrial past.&nbsp;

Renowned builders, Burbank Urban have been appointed to construct the project, which presents a bold exterior, featuring brick, black metal and compressed sheet cladding.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178923]

Mirroring the materiality and proportion of the former warehouse site, large windows create generous openings for natural light along with connections to the external spaces.

Cedar Woods engaged design-led Australian architecture firm, Genton to design 88 Levenson, offering a mix of multi-levelled three and four-bedroom townhomes.&nbsp;

Genton, with offices in both Melbourne and Sydney, is led by Principals Steven Toia, Marc Debney and Jamie McCutcheon, amassing a varied portfolio over their time, including both residential projects such as Cumulus and Verse as well as commercial works, like the Ford Asia Pacific Product Development Centre and the Powerhouse in Parramatta.&nbsp;

Conceived for owner-occupiers, each dwelling comprises open living spaces for entertaining on the first floor and large bedrooms on the upper floors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178925]

Designed to be spacious and flexible, the homes incorporate premium finishes such as engineered timber flooring, wool carpets and stone benchtops, along with the option to include personal lift access or an expansive whole floor master suite.&nbsp;

Crowning each of the homes are sun-drenched outdoor terraces, offering views to the North Melbourne skyline, as well as providing an additional extension to the homes.&nbsp;

Construction is due to commence soon on the project, with completion slated for 2024.&nbsp;

A look into Cedar Woods' North Melbourne townhomes, 88 Leveson 

The Lothian in North Melbourne, has won The Frederick Romberg Award for Residential Architecture &ndash; Multiple Housing.

Kennedy Nolan won the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) award this week for the project which was completed in May this year by Excelon Projects.

It had already won the 2021 Victorian Architecture Awards for multiple housing, along with being an entrant in the top 40 Think Brick Awards 2021.

Set on an island site, the Lothian consists of four-storey townhouses with roof gardens and two stacked two-storey apartments, one with a roof garden.&nbsp;

The design was inspired by the attractive red brick edifices from the golden age of manufacturing found in the former working class suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8257 project_image_fid=28387]

The judges noted The Lothian retains a sense of warehouse scale and dimensions, converting them into refined domestic use.&nbsp;

The exterior is concrete, brickwork, arched windows, oculus windows and playful tile work. The red pressed clay bricks came from Krause in Stawell.

The jury described this development as &ldquo;a robust, energy-efficient building that acts as a place of beauty and refuge for its inhabitants while offering an innovative alternative composition of a multi-residential building envelope&rdquo;.

Excelon Projects is a Melbourne-based property development company established in 2011 to create well-considered residential projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8257 project_image_fid=29556]

The 480 square metre site with two laneways and two street frontages replaced an office buildingat 102 Lothian Street.

Lothian has been described as a programmatic and formal hybrid in response to its island site.&nbsp;

The north-south orientation results in principal elevations to the east and west with deeply shaded fa&ccedil;ades to the west and the consideration of privacy to the east.&nbsp;

The southern dwellings are imagined as artist studios.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8257 project_image_fid=29552]

To the north, an apartment is suspended in the existing tree canopy, in a leafy eyrie with eccentric oriel windows.

There is a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment for sale through Belle Property agent Scott McElroy at $880,000.

It comes with interior design by artisans such as IN-TERIA, who designed the handmade timber door hardware, and the famous Cherry pendant light by DANIEL EMMA.

Slate flooring is featured throughout.

Lothian Street&#39;s location, being close to Errol Street in the heart of old North Melbourne, is marketed as the perfect urban village with a post office, supermarket, Town Hall - and the best of Melbourne&#39;s cafes and restaurants including Auction Rooms and Mork.

Plus the famous cake shop Beatrix just a 5-minute walk away.

Kelvin Taing, Director of Excelon said it had "been exciting to see this project come to life and is a testament to the vision of the architects.”

“The Lothian is a love project for Excelon.”

Set on an island site, the Lothian consists of four-storey townhouses with roof gardens and two stacked two-storey apartments, one with a roof garden.

Resale opportunity at The Lothian in North Melbourne, the 2021 AIA award winning apartment block

Developer Cedar W​oods has announced the launch of a new luxury project in Melbourne following an increase in demand for off t​he plan townhomes close to the CBD.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Located in the city-fringe suburb of North Melbourne, 88 Lev​e​​son encompasses 15 three and four-bedroom townhomes, each with private outdoor&nbsp;entertaining space.&nbsp;

The project mirrors Cedar Woods&rsquo; ethos to deliver quality projects that meet buyer demands, chief operating officer Patrick Archer says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178920]

&ldquo;In every project we undertake, our primary focus is developing in areas with access to&nbsp;amenity, creating quality homes, and building community, which are all evident in our latest North Melbourne project.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&ldquo;When considering off t​he plan, purchasers need to feel confident and secure in the&nbsp;outcome of their new home and 88 Leve​son provides that clear vision in a convenient location, only two kilometres from the city,&rdquo; Archer said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Pre-launch enquiry has indicated the project will be highly sought after, with the volume of enquiry &ldquo;outstanding&rdquo; at the pre-release phase.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178922]

&ldquo;This is a result of the lack of off t​​he plan townhome opportunities within inner Melbourne&nbsp;and the current dearth of residential listings,&rdquo; said Marsha​ll White&rsquo;s Mark Dayman.&nbsp;

Designed by Genton, 88 Le​veson caters to the design-savvy buyer with a striking brick fa&ccedil;ade that references the industrial history of the site.

The interiors, curated by Adele Bates, features high-quality modern amenity including Miele appliances and Signorino&nbsp;stone and have been designed for liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178921]

&ldquo;The industrial nature of the architecture and local character is seamlessly integrated and&nbsp;juxtaposed with fine design elements carried harmoniously through the homes. The interiors are imbued with a sense of huma​n scale and tactility through fine attention to detail, function,&nbsp;and materiality,&rdquo; Bates said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

88 Lev​eson is only a short distance from the historic Errol Street and within walking distance&nbsp;of Queen Victoria Market, University of Melbourne and the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct.&nbsp;

Its location makes it highly desirable to a range of purchasers, particularly&nbsp;professionals working in the nearby employment precincts.

Construction is anticipated to commence in 2022.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=8945]

<h2 style="margin-left: 0.4pt;">Other projects by Cedar Woods</h2>

The national developer Cedar Woods has also been developing other projects in Melbourne, such as the 64-hectare masterplanned community, Mason Quarter.

Located in Melbourne&rsquo;s northern growth corridor, only 25-kilometres from the CBD, Mason Quarter incorporates 800 dwellings, two schools and community facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=99962 project_image_fid=160813]

Land lots within this community are selling now, with 294sqm that boast 10.5-metre frontage available from just $316,000,

The community will offer the opportunity for people to craft their ideal lifestyle in beautiful, natural surrounds with a 7.9-hectare conservation reserve and over 30 distributed tree reserves with majestic river red gums on site.

Mason Quarter is conveniently located within walking distance of the future Wollert town&nbsp;centre and a range of existing infrastructure and public amenity.

The project mirrors Cedar Woods’ ethos to deliver quality projects that meet buyer demands, chief operating officer Patrick Archer explains

Plans have been lodged to the City of Melbourne council to convert a North Melbourne warehouse in to a mixed-use building.

The $36 million development of the site at 287-313 Macaulay Road, in the Arden-Macauley Urban Renewal Area, will see a partial demolition of the current warehouse and the construction of a 12 levels building on top of two levels of basement parking.

It will have 120 apartments above podium office space and 2,048 sqm of ground floor retail.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/1093-1099-malvern-road-toorak"><img alt="" height="1214" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/north_melbourne_plans_2.jpg" width="1200"></a> Source: Hayball Architects plans submitted to the City of Melbourne

Hayball Architects have designed the building which will consist of 12 one bedroom apartments, 78 two bedroom apartments, 29 three bedroom apartments and a four bedroom penthouse. There will be seven duplexes.

There will be 250 sqm of communal space, split between a 201 sqm communal terrace on level 1 and a 49 sqm communal sky garden on level nine. 

Residents will also have access to a cinema room which is part of the ground level clubhouse where there’s also a lounge and kitchen and dining space.

The 1,920 sqm site last traded for $5.28 million in 2014.

The developer has opted for car share facilities rather than a designated car space per apartment.

“Data shows that car ownership in the suburb of North Melbourne is low and a significant number of apartments do not own a car and the average ownership for larger dwellings is only one vehicle,” the assessment by Traffix Group noted.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=92806]

“This is reflective of how accessible the site is and demonstrates how suitable the site is for strategic developments that seek to further reduce the reliance on private motor vehicle.”

As an average rate, the proposal includes a provision of 0.73 spaces per apartment and there are in the order of 30% of apartments proposed without parking.

The property market has shone in the past seven years showing extraordinary growth in property prices in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, according to the latest Herron Todd White (HTW) residential report. 
The report notes last year’s property market results ended on a high note as we saw the fastest turnaround in history, with improving prices and clearance rates leading into the new year of 2020.
With property values rising, sellers are expected to cautiously return to the market, increasing stock levels.
<div class="page" title="Page 16">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
"So, what do we know moving forward into 2020? We can be assured that the Reserve Bank’s main focus will be to decrease unemployment rates and to increase wages, which will likely result in interest rates falling further throughout the year, making it even more affordable to enter the market," the valuation firm said. 
This trend could see an upside in developing areas such as Craigieburn, Kalkallo and Mickleham, which may prove to be the only truly affordable option for the inner and outer northern suburbs.
"By offering properties at affordable prices, these areas may still be the choice for migrating families moving to Melbourne or country Victorians wanting to move closer to Melbourne," the valuation firm said. 
A Craigieburn three bedroom house has been sold for $570,000.
The three bedroom, two bathroom home is situated at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-craigieburn-132823606" target="_blank">32 Newlyn Drive </a>(pictured below).
Set on 650sqm, the home comes with well-appointed kitchen, meals area, and pergola overlooking backyard.

Areas in the desirable suburbs of the inner north such as Abbotsford, Carlton and Richmond should expect to see moderate to low stock on the market.
The report notes blue chip properties that tick all the boxes will continue to perform in 2020.
"Low vacancy rates will also be evident in these areas with vacant dwellings being snapped up either by investors or renters," the valuation firm said. 
A Richmond Victorian house has recently been sold for $1.67 million. 
The three bedroom, one bathroom home is situated at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-richmond-132848686" target="_blank">10 Moorhouse Street</a> (pictured below). 
It comes with open plan living, north facing courtyard and spacious kitchen.

Property developer Fridcorp, together with long-standing joint venture partner Daniel Besen and Wingate, has secured approval for its $65 million residential project in North Melbourne’s Arden Urban Renewal precinct.
Located at 3 and 5–15 Shiel Street, a nine level apartment tower will be built on a 1,310 sqm site.
It will comprise 90 one, two and three bedroom apartments, with 70 basement car parks and a residents-only rooftop terrace with views of the CBD skyline and Royal Park.
Melbourne architecture firm Elenberg Fraser have been commissioned to design the building and its interiors.
The site was purchased from Spec Property in early March 2016 for $7 million.
The project is scheduled to launch in September 2018, with construction expected to commence in the first quarter of 2019.
Paul Fridman, Fridcorp founder and director, says the company is pleased to receive planning approval for the Shiel Street project which will contribute to the urban renewal of the inner-city growth area.
“North Melbourne is a new market for Fridcorp but, together with Daniel Besen and Wingate, we saw an opportunity with the Victorian Planning Authority’s proposed Arden precinct to deliver quality medium-density housing in Melbourne’s inner-ring that will provide long-term investment potential and growth for owner-occupiers and investors.
 “Over the coming decades, the already thriving area will undergo significant urban regeneration and it is anticipated to be a base for 34,000 jobs and 15,000 residents by 2051 and medium-density housing is required to address the needs of this growing population.
"The VPA’s framework for Arden, including Diverse housing, a lively public realm, green spaces and improved connectivity with the new Arden Station, will help ensure the success of this new residential and commercial precinct which will become a thriving suburb on the footstep of the city.”
Led by the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) on behalf of the Victorian Government, Arden is located on 55 hectares of land between Macaulay Road, Dryburgh Street and the Upfield Rail Corridor in North Melbourne, and will be a major new commercial and residential precinct.
Arden Station is being built as part of the Metro Tunnel and is due to open by 2026, making North Melbourne one stop from the CBD.
