Bradmill Yarraville’s first stage townhomes complete as inner-west regeneration takes shape

The first stage of Frasers Property Australia’s Bradmill Yarraville has reached completion, marking an early milestone in the long-term regeneration of the former Bradmill denim factory site in Melbourne’s inner west.

Stage one delivers 44 all-electric townhomes designed by Rothelowman, forming the initial residential component of the 26-hectare masterplanned neighbourhood, which is set to eventually accommodate around 1,500 homes.

The completed homes comprise three and four-bedroom configurations across two and three levels, responding primarily to family and owner-occupier demand in a suburb where new housing supply has historically been limited. 

Sustainability has been a defining feature of the first stage, with all residences delivered as fully electric and the broader project holding a 6 Star Green Star Communities rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.

Rather than being delivered in isolation, stage one has been designed to integrate with the wider Bradmill YARRAVILLE vision, which places equal emphasis on housing, green space, and shared amenity. 

A future landscaped linear park is planned to connect the completed townhomes with neighbouring McIvor Reserve, foreshadowing the open-space network that will ultimately extend across the precinct.

Frasers Property Australia has positioned Bradmill as a community-led regeneration project, drawing on the site’s industrial heritage while introducing new residential and social infrastructure. 

Future stages will centre around Bradmill Quarter, a mixed-use precinct planned to include a full-line Woolworths Supermarket, childcare and medical services, specialty retail, and hospitality offerings arranged around a central public plaza known as The Arbory.

Adaptive reuse also plays a central role in the broader development, with the heritage-listed Proofing Building and Boiler House earmarked for transformation into resident-focused wellness, co-working, and social spaces under the Bradmill Social banner. These facilities are expected to be delivered progressively as later stages come online.

Located around 7.5 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, Bradmill YARRAVILLE sits within an established residential catchment known for its village-scale retail, access to public transport, and proximity to education and open space. 

The completion of the first stage signals the transition from planning to lived reality, providing early residents with a foothold in what will become one of the inner west’s largest urban renewal projects over the coming decade.
