Young first home buyer Elycia didn’t expect to become a property investor when she purchased an off the plan townhouse at Development Victoria’s <a href="/new-townhouses/luma-sunshine-north-247-st-albans-road-sunshine-north-vic-3020">LUMA</a> masterplanned community in <a href="/developments/sunshine-north-vic-3020">Sunshine North</a> several years ago.

“I’d been saving for a while, and it felt like a good time to get into the market,” Elycia said of her purchase.

When she visited the display suite, she could immediately see herself living there, thanks to the variety of thoughtfully designed floorplans.

“I fell in love with how the floorplans were laid out — especially how the living room was positioned quietly away from the kitchen and dining area,” she said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=96896]

Having watched her parents build a home from scratch, Elycia was grateful for a simpler path.

“I wanted something with as few choices as possible. Just pick a colour scheme and go,” she said. “You didn’t have to pick bricks, carpet, or underlay — it was all done.”

She selected the light colour scheme and opted for a few upgrades like a premium benchtop, but kept most fixtures standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=255556]

While COVID lockdowns delayed the delivery of her three-bedroom home near Sunshine Station, Elycia, a teacher, said <a href="/developers/development-victoria">Development Victoria</a> was transparent throughout the process.

The fact that Development Victoria is operated by the Victorian Government was a big reason I felt confident buying from them,” she said, adding that she was pleased with their clear communication around the delays, which were widely felt across the building industry.

“It felt slow at times, but once I could physically see the building taking shape, it all started to feel real.”

Importantly, the original purchase price remained unchanged — something Elycia appreciated.

“There weren’t any extra costs passed on to us. I’d paid my deposit, and the balance stayed the same," she said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=350574]

Elycia had planned to move in and transfer schools once the build was complete in 2025. But life — and opportunity — had other ideas.

“On settlement, I stayed in the home for one night just to take it all in — to feel a sense of accomplishment for doing this by myself,” she said. “It’s now for someone else to enjoy.”

Development Victoria is currently delivering Stage Two of the LUMA masterplan, located between Ginifer and Albion train stations.

The townhouses vary in configuration and design, ranging from one to four bedrooms, and are designed to be all-electric, featuring solar PV, double glazing, and a minimum 7-star NatHERS rating.

A new public park and future links to the broader Sunshine Precinct — set to become a major employment and infrastructure hub — positions LUMA residents to take full advantage of being in a long-term growth corridor with increasing appeal for a wide range of buyers.

First home buyer turned investor: How young teacher Elycia bought her home at LUMA in Sunshine North

National developer Frasers Property Australia understands the importance of creating places that go beyond housing.

After more than a century of delivering spaces for Australians to live, Frasers Property has mastered the art of building community. Not only are they a key contributor to Australia’s housing supply, but their community-first approach sets them apart. They invest just as much thought into how people will live within the communities they develop as they do in designing the homes themselves.

When they secured a 26-hectare former industrial site in Yarraville, their approach was no different. The vision: a new neighbourhood called Bradmill Yarraville, which will eventually comprise around 1,500 new homes, pending future approvals.

The first stage of Bradmill Yarraville—44 all-electric townhouses designed by renowned architecture firm Rothelowman—is fast approaching completion, with buyers expected to move in before Christmas 2025.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311186]

A key pillar of Frasers Property's strategy is a strong focus on lifestyle and amenity. Rather than treating facilities as an afterthought or cost-cutting casualty, they were central to the design process from the outset. With a future population of over 3,000 residents, they knew the amenity offering needed to be both generous and meaningful.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311286]

At the heart of the masterplan is Bradmill Quarter, the central hub of the neighbourhood that will seamlessly blend retail, wellness, and community spaces in a walkable, well-connected setting. The Bradmill Quarter Retail Precinct will feature a major supermarket, a childcare centre, a medical centre, and a curated mix of 15 specialty stores.

Complementing the retail is an alfresco dining zone that flows into The Arbory—a landscaped urban plaza designed for play, relaxation, and social connection. This central gathering space is a key expression of the development’s mission to foster authentic community interaction.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311275]

Also anchoring the precinct is Bradmill Social, a flagship lifestyle and wellness destination housed within the site’s historic industrial buildings. Bradmill Social consists of two distinct components: The Proofing Building and the adjacent Boiler House.

The Proofing Building is being transformed into a full-scale wellness centre, complete with a fully equipped gym, pool, sauna, spa, yoga and Pilates studios, barbecue areas, and a basketball half-court.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311280]

Next door, The Boiler House—a local landmark visible from the West Gate Freeway—is being reimagined as a dynamic lifestyle venue. It will feature a cinema, media rooms, co-working spaces, children’s play areas, private dining and lounge rooms, bookable family event spaces, a community garden, and even dog-washing stations—truly making it a one-stop hub for all aspects of community life.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311292]

Crowning The Boiler House will be the Lantern Lounge, a rooftop entertainment space for both dining and cocktail events with extensive views of the city skyline and over Port Phillip Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311270]

In addition to housing and amenity, Frasers Property understands the vital role of nature and landscaping—not only for future residents but also as part of the company’s broader sustainability objectives.

A green corridor of open space will thread through the precinct, connecting to McIvor Reserve and forming part of a larger 26-hectare parkland network. This abundance of green space will enhance the overall quality of life, offering residents places to unwind, exercise, and engage with nature.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311283]

The amenity offerings across the precinct will be delivered in stages over the next six years, with the Bradmill Quarter Retail Precinct currently scheduled to open in 2029.

Bradmill Quarter: Bringing community and amenity to life in Yarraville

As Melbourne’s population continues to grow and demand for housing intensifies, large-scale, well-connected developments close to the CBD are becoming increasingly important.&nbsp;

One project leading the charge is <a href="/new-apartments/bradmill-yarraville-355-359-francis-street-yarraville-vic-3013">Bradmill</a> in <a href="/developments/yarraville-vic-3013">Yarraville</a> — a landmark regeneration of the former denim factory site into a thriving, masterplanned neighbourhood.

I recently caught up with&nbsp;Theo Della Bosca, Development Director at <a href="/developers/frasers-property">Frasers Property</a>, for an in-depth conversation about one of Melbourne’s most anticipated communities.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W9nu7DBsUHE?si=9tD9zRL7rDbHIDgU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Bradmill Yarraville, on an unrepeatable 26 hectares just six kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, will become a&nbsp;vibrant, walkable neighbourhood, blending heritage, sustainability, and modern convenience.&nbsp;

It will deliver up to 1,500 new homes, a mix of townhouses and apartments. The first homes being brought to market are three and four-bedroom townhouses designed by <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, which are already attracting significant interest, <a href="/news/vic/why-families-are-flocking-to-townhouses-in-bradmill-yarraville?hash=92f39f1bd10345c973a925313699a08bdbad509d">particularly from families and downsizers</a>.

Families are drawn to the project for its variety of housing options, generous open space, proximity to quality schools, and the convenience of having a shopping centre within the community. Investors see strong potential in the area’s rental market and appreciate the low-maintenance, high-quality homes on offer. First home buyers are also showing strong interest, particularly because opportunities to purchase this level of housing so close to the city are rare.

Later stages will introduce a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with all homes&nbsp;within the community to be fully electric, as part of Frasers Property’s commitment to sustainability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311186]

A key feature of the Bradmill masterplan is its mix of residential, retail, and lifestyle amenity — much of it set within repurposed heritage buildings.&nbsp;

The upcoming Bradmill Quarter retail precinct, which will front Francis Street and include a major supermarket, 15 specialty shops, a childcare centre, and a medical centre, will bring a convenient hub to Bradmill residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311275]

Another standout feature of the community is Bradmill Social — a resident-exclusive lifestyle precinct that will breathe new life into the site’s historic buildings.&nbsp;

“We’ve got a proofing house down there which will be converted to a wellness centre that will feature a yoga Pilates space, gym, pool, sauna, spa, outdoor barbecue area, basketball half court — so it’s got it all going on,” Theo says.&nbsp;

The iconic boiler house, a well-known landmark in Melbourne’s inner west visible from the West Gate Freeway, is set to be transformed into a vibrant lifestyle hub. The space will include areas for children’s play, a cinema, media and co-working spaces, lounge and dining facilities, bookable rooms for family events, an outdoor barbecue terrace, a community garden, and even dog-washing facilities — offering a wide range of amenities designed to foster connection and convenience for future residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311286]

Green space is also central to the project’s design, with an open space reserve threading through the community from west to east and connecting directly to the expansive 18.5-hectare McIvor Reserve.

Bradmill is being delivered in stages, with <a href="/builders/figurehead-construction">Figurehead Construction</a> currently working on stage one. Residents are expected to move into the first townhouses&nbsp;before Christmas.

Everything a buyer needs to know about Bradmill Yarraville: Five minutes with Frasers Property Development Director Theo Della Bosca

Summary:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1">LUMA, a project by Development Victoria, is an established community in the growing Sunshine North area</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Residents have begun moving into their homes as part of the first stage</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Willbowbark Park has been completed and officially opens this month</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Stage 2 is now selling and construction of homes has commenced</li>
</ul>

<hr />
<a href="/developers/development-victoria">Development Victoria</a> has started to welcome the first residents at its burgeoning <a href="/developers/development-victoria">Sunshine North</a> masterplanned community, <a href="/new-townhouses/luma-sunshine-north-247-st-albans-road-sunshine-north">LUMA</a>.

Development Victoria, the development arm of the Victoria Government, sold out the first stage of the community, located halfway between Ginifer and Albion Stations.

They’ve recently started construction on the second stage, a mix of 85 one, two, three, and four-bedroom townhouses, purposefully varied in configurations which have drawn the eye of everyone from first home buyers and investors to young families and downsizers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=286483]

The homes at LUMA are designed with a focus on sustainability and are all-electric, featuring solar PV with battery storage, double-glazed windows, and a minimum 7-star <a href="/guides/what-is-a-nathers-rating-in-new-off-the-plan-apartment-developments">NatHERS</a> energy rating.

Development Victoria ensured the first residents to call LUMA home would already be part of a community. As part of the first stage is the 3,600 sqm Willbowbark Park, set to open in April. The park, a short walk from the townhouses in the first two stages at LUMA, will have a fully equipped children’s playground, a sheltered BBQ, picnic area, and large grass expanses, met with clusters of retained established trees.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=96894]

Plans for a pedestrian and vehicle bridge over Stony Creek via Metherall Street will further connect LUMA to the surrounding neighbourhoods, while following stages will include the future development of a commercial and retail precinct within the masterplan.

Positioned near the proposed Sunshine Precinct, LUMA will benefit from significant infrastructure projects, including the future Sunshine Station Superhub, Melbourne Airport Rail, and the Western Rail Plan, enhancing connectivity to Melbourne’s CBD, the airport, and regional areas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=255556]

The broader Sunshine Precinct is expected to become a major employment and innovation hub, supporting up to 45,000 jobs and 70,000 residents.

Development Victoria is a government agency partnering with industry and communities to create sustainable, liveable places for people. They unlock underutilised land to deliver housing across Victoria, from house and land communities in Officer and Springvale, to mixed-use precincts in Fitzroy and Kew. They build a variety of homes and communities where people can thrive while catering to different budgets, lifestyles and needs so that more people can live where they want to be at prices they can afford.

To make home ownership more accessible, Development Victoria is offering a low-deposit scheme. Buyers can secure a home at LUMA with just a 2.5 per cent deposit upfront, with a further 2.5 per cent required up to six months after signing the contract.&nbsp;

With no progress payments required during construction, this initiative aims to provide more Victorians with the opportunity to enter the property market in a well-connected and growing community.&nbsp;

A Priority Access Program is also in place, providing eligible buyers with an early opportunity to secure homes before they are made available to the broader market.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=27783]

Residents start to move into Development Victoria’s LUMA Sunshine North community

National developer Frasers Property is putting family first at its latest masterplanned development, Bradmill.

<a href="/new-apartments/bradmill-yarraville-355-359-francis-street-yarraville-vic-3013">Bradmill</a> in Melbourne's <a href="/developments/yarraville-vic-3013">Yarraville</a>, seven kilometres west of the CBD, brings a lower maintenance, family-friendly option to the suburb which is dominated by single detached houses.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=317864]

The first two stages at Bradmill, Pioneer and Monfort Townhomes, have been designed by renowned architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="/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.

Rothelowman has also put a focus on modern living, with many homes offering dedicated study areas to accommodate the growing work-from-home trend.

The living areas feature low-maintenance engineered oak timber flooring, while the bedrooms are fitted with 100 per cent wool loop pile carpets.

Buyers can choose from two distinct interior colour schemes, Chambray and Indigo, a light or a darker colour for the interiors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=317871]

Like the majority of <a href="/developers/frasers-property">Frasers Property</a> projects across the country as the company looks towards a more sustainable built environment, the homes are all-electric. They all come complete with solar PV systems, water-saving initiatives, and double-glazing throughout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311175]

Frasers Property doesn't build just homes, but communities.

The neighbourhood of Bradmill will be one of the most connected in Melbourne's inner west. Future Bradmill residents will have exclusive access to Bradmill Social, a hub for exercising, co-working, and group events.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311275]

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.

The townhouses at Bradmill are currently&nbsp;under construction and will welcome residents toward the end of 2025.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=134727]

The homes are designed for family living, with open-plan kitchen, living and dining areas flowing onto private landscaped gardens.
