Melbourne off the plan apartments

In a move that underscores the sustained demand for large-scale mixed-use development opportunities in metropolitan Melbourne, one of the city’s most significant infill development sites has been acquired by a prominent local developer.

The coveted Kinnear’s Precinct at 124-180 Ballarat Road, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/footscray-vic-3011">Footscray</a>, spanning nearly three hectares, has been snapped up from R&amp;F Property in a deal that highlights the precinct’s immense potential for urban renewal. While the final sale price remains undisclosed, it is understood it was in the vicinity of $40 million.

With an approved development plan already in place, the site can accommodate over 1,200 dwellings, setting the stage for a transformative urban project in one of Melbourne’s most rapidly evolving suburbs.

Footscray has been identified as a ‘Priority Precinct’ by the Victorian Government, a designation aimed at driving coordinated growth and investment to solidify its role as a major hub for residential, commercial, and cultural activities.

The Victorian Government’s Housing Statement, which outlines a vision for 800,000 new homes across the state over the next decade, further enhances the appeal of the Kinnear’s Precinct. Coupled with Plan Melbourne’s 70:30 objective to direct the majority of new housing into established areas, the site represents an unparalleled opportunity to deliver large-scale housing close to key services and transport links.

The site itself comprises a mix of partially vacant land and older warehouse buildings, with 128 Ballarat Road featuring a renovated heritage structure alongside a well-established display suite. Positioned within walking distance of public transport options and key infrastructure projects, including the new Footscray Hospital currently under construction, the location is primed for significant redevelopment.

Cushman &amp; Wakefield’s Joe Kairouz, Hamish Burgess and Leon Ma facilitated the sale following a highly competitive campaign that attracted strong interest from both local and international developers.

“The site’s significant scale, mixed-use zoning, approved staged development plan, and proximity to major employment hubs and lifestyle amenities attracted widespread interest, with a locally based developer ultimately securing the site under highly competitive terms,” Kairouz said.

Hamish Burgess said The Kinnear’s Precinct represents Melbourne’s premier opportunity to develop a world-class mixed-use project that harmoniously integrates Footscray’s rich history with modern placemaking.

"Its proximity to Melbourne’s CBD, combined with the area’s abundant amenities, makes it an exceptional location for creating a truly unique development.”

Demand for Melbourne apartment development sites ramps up as $40m Footscray block sells

Prahran's new apartment market is set for a bumper 2025, with several developments soon to come to market.

Tom Howgate's <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/kincrest">Kincrest</a> is soon to launch <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-osment-prahran-3-7-grattan-street-prahran">The Osment</a>, 22 apartments overlooking Grattan Gardens, while Adam Coff's <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/coff-property-group">Coff Property Group</a> recently secured approval for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/vic/coff-property-secure-permit-for-luxury-prahran-townhouses">17 townhouses on Chomley Street</a>.

The latest entrant to the market is B&amp;B Property Group, who have secured the longtime St Edmonds Road home of InterFlora, the international flower and gift distributor, who hve ben in the two-level office building for the last two decades.

They will be finalising plans over 2025, but won't settle on the $9 million purchase until 2026 when Interflora relocate their new head office in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/west-melbourne-vic-3003">West Melbourne</a>.

Gorman Commercial's&nbsp;Peter Bremner and Jonathon McCormack secured the Prahran sale of the 964 sqm site which came with a&nbsp;design and development overlay allowing multi-level apartments or a mixed-use development to be built on the site.

The property is centrally positioned in Prahran just off Greville Street near Prahran Train station and Chapel Street, and between Malvern Road &amp; High Street.

Ben Buxton of B&amp;B Property Group said St Edmonds Road is a&nbsp;standout street <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/prahran-vic-3181">in the suburb</a>.

"The site and location presented us with a great opportunity to introduce an above market product to one of Melbourne’s oldest and most eclectic locales," Buxton says.

"The proposed building, designed by Cera Stribley Architects is a timeless homage to the colourful and creative spirit of the area."

The apartments, which will sit above ground-floor commercial and retail offerings, will be enveloped in landscaping by Jack Merlo and feature interiors by Hecker Guthrie.

Gorman Commercial's&nbsp;Peter Bremner said the show of confidence by B&amp;B Property Group to acquire the site despite some continuing headwinds in the development market indicates the strength of the location and lack of future supply of sites in this central Prahran area.

“There was interest in the property from owner occupiers seeking to buy the building for their own office headquarters, but as it turned out the development value exceeded the office value which can often happen in these prime inner city fringe locations."

Prominent developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/hamton">Hamton</a> has lit a fuse under Melbourne’s off the plan apartment market, kicking off sales at one of the capital’s most anticipated new communities in 2025.

Hamton, the developer behind the $3 billion redevelopment of the Moonee Valley Racecourse, Moonee Valley Park, has launched sales of the residences at its $550 million Scotch Hill Gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327631]

Hamton held an Open House event at the weekend to give buyers an early look at the project. Residences in the first three buildings - The Tate, The Woodburn, and The Ingleburn are now available to purchase. The trio of buildings will deliver 146 residences planned for the prime site on Robinson Road.&nbsp;

Construction of the three buildings will kick off in Q3 2025, and will be welcoming residents in early 2027.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327640]

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327706]

The planned revitalisation of the Bill Street Retail Village will further enhance the convenience of the location, with shops and cafés on the projects’ doorstep.&nbsp;

Scotch Hill Gardens is one of the largest projects to be approved under Victoria’s Development Facilitation Program, following a streamlined approval process which accelerated its timeline by approximately 12 months.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327664]

The site was formerly owned by the University of Melbourne, with Hamton securing the purchase in early 2024 following a rezoning process overseen by the Planning Minister.

Hamton’s latest project is expected to attract interest from local downsizers, professionals, families, and investors looking for high-quality residences in Melbourne’s inner east.

Hamton’s Founder and Executive Chairman, Paul Hameister OAM, said Scotch Hill Gardens will create a rare opportunity for buyers in a premium suburb that is highly sought-after.

Melbourne developer SMA Projects almost doesn't see itself as a developer.

"We feel like we're more of a lifestyle creator," <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/sma-projects">SMA Projects</a> Founder Martin Strode says, adding that they want to create spaces that enhance the way people live, through clever design, architectural features, and prime location of their projects.

When the opportunity to secure the former Regent Theatre site in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/fitzroy-vic-3065">Fitzroy</a>, it allowed them to tick all three of those boxes.

"While the Regent Theatre is long gone, we had a head start in the design phase because we knew how we wanted the building to look before we even secured the site. We had a bit of a blueprint as to the architectural integrity of the sites former life, and how we could reimagine it into a 21st century apartment building," Strode says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24824 project_image_fid=304614]

SMA called on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/hayball">Hayball</a>, who they have been collaborating with across several architecturally-significant developments over the past two decades, to draw inspiration from the theatre's Art Deco past, incorporating arched ceilings and period-inspired details.&nbsp;

The Art Deco influence is immediately evident, beginning with the streetscape and extending into the lobby. Curved walls, elegant pendant lighting, and custom-designed, 70s-inspired mirrors capture the essence of a bygone era.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24824 project_image_fid=304762]

It was important the apartment interiors followed the same style, so the brief to<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/interior-designers/studio-tate"> Studio Tate</a> was of a similar narrative.

While also wanting to be flexible and give buyers a level of customisation which SMA believes is incredibly important in off the plan purchasing, Studio Tate put together two distinct designs; the light and refined Classic Collection, influenced by Nordic minimalism, and the dramatic, moody Arthouse Collection, inspired by Fitzroy’s artistic edge.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24824 project_image_fid=304606]

SMA’s philosophy is that buildings are about more than just the apartments. They make a conscious effort to create spaces where residents can gather, always staying true to their core belief of making life easier for those who live there.

Crowning the nine-level building will be a 315 sqm rooftop which will act as a shared space for residents to gather, eat, drink, and take in uninterrupted views of the Melbourne skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24824 project_image_fid=304765]

One of the more innovative features designed by SMA is the inclusion of a guest suite, exclusively available for residents to book. This thoughtful addition functions like a private spare bedroom, providing a convenient space for family or friends to stay.&nbsp;

In response to the 2023 Victorian pet census, which revealed that nearly 60% of Victorian adults own pets—particularly dogs—SMA also incorporated a dedicated dog wash facility within the building. Residents will enjoy the added convenience of a concierge service, available to handle everything from managing deliveries to making restaurant reservations and much more.

While SMA will be bringing doorstep convenience in the form of several retail spaces on the ground floor, of which at least one will likely be a cafe, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-regent-fitzroy-340-fitzroy-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">The Regent</a> is strategically located in the cultural heart of Fitzroy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24824 project_image_fid=304612]

The Fitzroy Street address places residents just seconds from Johnston Street, one of Melbourne’s most popular areas for cafés, dining, galleries, and nightlife.&nbsp;

Johnston Street also serves as a convenient thoroughfare, connecting west to Abbotsford and east to Carlton. The 96 tram, located just five minutes from The Regent at the intersection of Johnston and Nicholson Streets, provides direct access through the CBD and all the way to St Kilda Beach.

Victoria's new off the plan apartment savings apply to all 64 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments at The Regent, but only for a limited time.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=24824]

SMA makes a conscious effort to create spaces where residents can gather, always staying true to their core belief of making life easier for those who live there.

The Regent Fitzroy: Where architecture and lifestyle combine

Luxury Melbourne developer Soliana™ has paid $5.85 million for a premium South Yarra site with approved plans for a luxury apartment development.

There had been plans for six large-scale apartments at 39 Darling Street, near the Yarra River and just off Domain Road. Dubbed Riviera, the five-level development had been designed by Selwyn Blackstone and had been marketed before Soliana bought the site.

Its elevated position offers views over South Yarra, with proximity to&nbsp;the Royal Botanic Gardens, Fawkner Park, and Chapel Street.

The site currently houses a three-level apartment complex with 10 studio apartments. It was sold by a local syndicate through an expressions of interest campaign.

The deal reflects a land rate of $8,705 per square metre and a unit rate of $975,000, underscoring the strength of Melbourne’s premium residential market.

<img alt="South Yarra" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a468bc98-09ae-475c-928c-8e8c9cc1f5fb" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-02-17%20at%2011.54.20%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=hguzM0.XmEVErkHXwWuhoGk1K.eJElgI" />

Hamish Burgess, Joe Kairouz, and Jeffery Ha of Cushman &amp; Wakefield handled the transaction. Burgess said the sale highlighted the fierce competition among developers to secure opportunities in South Yarra and surrounding Stonnington suburbs.

“The Stonnington development site market has been hotly sought after throughout 2024," Burgess said.

"Developers are competing to enter a precinct that continues to re-rate the market in terms of achievable residential revenues, and 39 Darling Street was no exception.”

The sale adds to Soliana™’s growing portfolio of high-end residential and commercial projects. They have two in Brighton, Pearl Brighton which will compete in the coming months, and another one on Martin Street which will launch later this year.

Residents will soon move into&nbsp;Madeline, the newest off the plan apartment development in Melbourne's Moorabbin.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/madeline-moorabbin-19-23-central-avenue-moorabbin">Madeline</a>&nbsp;will home just 44 two and three-bedroom apartments on its completion on Central Avenue, in the heart of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/moorabbin-vic-3189">Moorabbin</a> Activity Centre.

The four-level has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/via-architects">Via Architects</a>&nbsp;and OFFERS a striking street presence with a&nbsp;modernist brick façade and monochromatic palette, softened by greenery.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138903 project_image_fid=301964]

The apartments are designed to maximize natural light, featuring floor-to-ceiling, double-glazed glass sliding doors. Neutral tones and rich walnut timber accents enhance the sense of brightness and spaciousness.

The open-plan living and dining areas seamlessly connect to a balcony or courtyard in the garden apartments. The kitchens are equipped with integrated ILVE appliances, a full-height pull-out pantry, and a marble-topped island bench, serving as a focal point in the space.

Thoughtful, space-saving features include a concealed pop-up phone charger and a Bluetooth speaker. Each apartment also offers an integrated study nook, catering for those working from home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138903 project_image_fid=301967]

Residents will have access to a communal lounge on the ground floor, complete with a full kitchen and dining area. This space is designed to foster a sense of community and provide a place for residents to connect with their neighbours.&nbsp;

The development also includes secure basement parking with lift access and additional storage units for each apartment.

Madeline is strategically located to offer its residents ultimate convenience, just a two-minute walk to Woolworths and five minutes to the Moorabbin train station.

Madeline is being developed by builder-developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/pitard-group">Pitard Group</a>, who has a solid workbook of both completed and under-construction projects across Melbourne.

With interest rate cuts set to drive the market in 2025, certain <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a> suburbs are poised to outperform others across the city.

Research by property data analytics firm, CoreLogic, shows that higher-priced markets, particularly those with a high concentration of investors, tend to be the most responsive to cash rate reductions.

Their research shows units in the Glen Eira area will see the most price growth in units, over 12 per cent, should the RBA cut the official cash rate by one per cent (four 25 basis point cuts).

The forecasted price growth bodes for those suburbs in and around Cauflield.

Those looking at purchasing an apartment in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/eva-elsternwick-village-apartments-241-glen-huntly-road-elsternwick">EVA Elsternwick</a>, in the heart of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick</a> village and one of very few new apartment developments in recent years in the area, could see significant price growth in the short to medium term.

EVA, on Glen Huntly Road a short walk to all of Elsternwick's cafes and the train station, offers two and three-bedroom apartments starting from $845,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93073 project_image_fid=218013]

&nbsp;

Following Glen Eira, Whitehorse-West is expected to see a 10.6 per cent increase, while Manningham-East is projected to rise by 9.8 per cent.

Hobsons Bay has also been identified as a growth area, with unit values forecast to climb by 8.3 per cent.

On the fringe of the Hobsons Bay local government area is Yarraville, where Bradmill Yarraville has been one of&nbsp;the most popular new developments in the surrouning area.

Families in particular have shown strong interest to the townhouses on offer in the small masterplanned community currently&nbsp;being developed by Frasers Property.

The first two stages at Bradmill, Pioneer and Monfort Townhomes, have been designed by renowned architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>. They have several different configurations, offering either three or four bedrooms across two or three levels.

The homes are designed for family living, with open-plan kitchen, living and dining areas flowing onto private gardens, courtyards, or balconies. Single or double garages also offer convenient access to the indoors.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=317877]

The neighbourhood of Bradmill will be one of the most connected in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic" target="">Melbourne</a>'s inner west. Future Bradmill residents will have exclusive access to Bradmill Social, a hub for exercising, co-working, and group events.

Linear Park will run through Bradmilll,&nbsp;connecting residents directly to the vast green spaces and sports grounds of adjacent McIvor Reserve, and a stroll to Bradmill Quarter’s 8,000 sqm retail precinct and the vibrant dining and community spaces of The Arbory.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311275]

&nbsp;

Other suburbs expected to benefit from rate cuts include Maroondah (9.1 per cent), Bayside (8.5 per cent), Cardinia (8.4 per cent), Casey-North (8.3 per cent), Dandenong (7.8 per cent), and Kingston (7.4 per cent).

CoreLogic's Head of Research, Eliza Owen, says certain markets will see a bigger boost from rate reductions than others, and it may be because of market characteristics like price point, location and investor interest.

"CoreLogic estimates based on previous periods of rate reductions that national dwelling values would increase an average of 6.1 per cent for each one percentage point decline in the cash rate," Owen says.

"Relatively expensive markets have historically shown stronger responses to reduced cash rate settings. A reduction in the cash rate could spur a recovery trend in the high end of the Sydney and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic" target="">Melbourne</a>&nbsp;housing market, which tend to be the bellwether for broader market recoveries in those cities."

The Melbourne suburbs that will see the biggest uplift in apartment values after interest rate cuts

Melbourne residential developer ANGLE has secured a double-quick approval for its new apartment project in the heart of Camberwell.

ANGLE, who is currently delivering Fernhurst in Kew and has an impressive portfolio of completed projects across the likes of Elwood, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/hawthorn-vic">Hawthorn</a> and South Yarra, has been given the green light by the&nbsp;City of Boroondara for a 10-level mixed-use building at 335 Camberwell Road with 69 apartments.

The development, to be known as <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/335-camberwell-road-camberwell">Terrace</a> given its stepped design, will be&nbsp;ANGLE’s seventh project in Boroondara and second in Camberwell, which has a median house price of $2.61 million, reflecting its status as one of Melbourne’s most sought-after suburbs, bolstered by its grand, historic residences and tranquil, leafy streets.

<img alt="ANGLE Camberwell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b044395f-069d-490b-bea9-3097510efce7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-02-10%20at%2011.22.42%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=qwy2hBAT3nYp2h.eNLgKMFcbH2ABQF7h" />

The building has been designed by Tristan Wong Architecture and Design and will offer a mix of one, two and three-bedrooms, with an average internal area of over 190 sqm and large terraces averaging over 30 sqm.

The 3,807 sqm site is just 300 metres from Camberwell Junction.

The apartments will sit above ground floor retail and hospitality spaces along Camberwell Road, as well as 213 parking spaces in the basement, an averge of three spaces per dwelling.

ANGLE is giving back a lot of the site to resident use. They're only covering 58 per cent of the near-one acre site, so they can create a private 500 sqm north-facing park with large canopy trees and dense landscaping by MALA Studio and Amanda Oliver Gardens.

<img alt="ANGLE Camberwell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="361af7a4-1bbc-49fe-a2f9-fec518ba60de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-02-10%20at%2011.17.23%E2%80%AFAM_0.png?VersionId=KruqYlNXjzNIIgEflaIMrWwHxV1JeHeg" />

"Projects with park outlooks have always outperformed the market and given the location opposite Camberwell Civic Centre and the amount of frontage afforded to us, almost every apartment will have a park aspect. Further, given the size of the setbacks and 58% site coverage, the building sits in a heavily landscaped setting," ANGLE Director Lachlan Gibson says.

He believes they have one of the best sites in the area.

"Analysis shows that this is one of the only developable sites in excess of 3,500 sqm in the Camberwell Junction Activity Centre, so we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have secured what we think is the best one, being almost an acre in size and fronting a park."

Gibson is expecting local downsizers to make up the majority of purchasers.

"We are super bullish on the Melbourne market in the space that we are playing in. There is an extremely low supply of high-quality projects and the market is becoming increasingly discerning, which is pleasing to see. Buyers are more than happy to pay a premium for something if they love the design and know it’s going to be delivered well. This is especially true if the project has a bit of X factor, such as a park outlook."

Construction on Terrace is expected to start in 2026, with completion slated for 2028.​​​

Prime Edition has kicked off 2025 with one of the first major projects of the year in Melbourne.

They’ve unveiled <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/33-queens-parade-clifton-hill-33-queens-parade-clifton-hill">33 Queens Parade</a>, a new development offering just 32 exclusive residences in the heart of Clifton Hill. The project is ideally situated between Edinburgh Gardens to the west and Darling Gardens to the east.

The design, created by renowned local architecture firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, caters to a variety of buyers. The development includes 32 residences, comprising two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as six townhouses and two luxury penthouses.

Each residence features spacious, open-plan living and dining areas with floor-to-ceiling windows that maximise natural light.

At the heart of each home is a kitchen equipped with premium Miele appliances, complemented by natural stone benchtops and splashbacks, timber laminate cabinetry, custom shelving, and a dry bar.

The master bedroom has been designed as a private retreat, with its own opulent ensuite and walk-in robe, while additional bedrooms are generously sized and have their own dedicated bathrooms.

The design has also focused on seamless indoor-outdoor living. Every apartment and townhouse includes outdoor spaces, whether in the form of a balcony or a landscaped courtyard.

Beyond the residences, the development incorporates thoughtfully curated amenities, including EV charging stations, bike storage, and dog wash facilities, catering to the needs of modern urban living.

Once a working-class suburb within the City of Collingwood, Clifton Hill’s transformation was propelled by the expansion of Melbourne’s tram network and the industrial growth along the Yarra River.

Today, it stands as one of the city’s most sought-after locales, renowned for its lush parklands, prestigious schools, and thriving café culture. Residents of 33 Queens Parade will enjoy unparalleled access to these amenities, all within a short distance from home.

The development also addresses a significant gap in the local property market, with fewer than 25 percent of Clifton Hill’s dwellings being apartments. As the first new development in the area in years, 33 Queens Parade represents a rare opportunity to secure a home in this tightly held suburb.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/prime-edition">Prime Edition</a> has been developing across Melbourne's most affluent suburbs. Led by Eric Loi and Alistair Taylor, the firm has recently completed <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/arbour-park-352-358-canterbury-road-surrey-hills">Arbour Park</a> in Surrey Hills and is currently developing two other projects: Avoca, featuring five luxury full-floor apartments in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/south-yarra-vic-3141">South Yarra</a>, and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/como-toorak-2-bruce-street-toorak">Como</a>, comprising 16 exclusive residences in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a>.

With 33 Queens Parade, Prime Edition continues its legacy of creating homes that redefine modern living while honouring the unique character of their surroundings.
