Coles and Dimas Property Group launch White & Weston in Balwyn Village

Supermarket giant Coles and local developer Dimas Property Group have teamed up to create one of the most connected new apartment developments in Melbourne’s leafy Balwyn.

The partners secured a prime site on Whitehorse Road, opposite Balwyn Park and in the prized Balwyn High School catchment area.

They appointed the in-demand architecture firm Cera Stribley to design White & Weston, just 45 two, three and four-bedroom apartments across a low-rise three-level building set in gardens by the equally sought-after landscape architect Jack Merlo. The apartments will sit above a full-line Coles, offering the ultimate convenience for residents.

The apartments overlook Balwyn Park, home to an AFL oval, kids playground, tennis club and bowling club.

Cera Stribley Interior Design Director, Jessica Coulter, said the homes were designed to feel personal and functional, with materials selected to reflect a connection to nature. 

“We really understand what goes into creating a truly amazing home,” Coulter said. “We’re always looking for those individual moments that make a space special.”

Each residence is fitted with Miele appliances, Signorino stone finishes, Block flooring, and Great Dane lighting. 

Private terraces and rooftop gardens were designed to act as extensions of the living areas, offering additional usable space for residents.

“We’ve had some really generous outdoor spaces to work with,” Coulter added. "The communal roof garden is an expansion of the individual homes."

The 655 sqm residents garden, curated by Jack Merlo, feature a mix of native and exotic plantings, delivering year-round greenery opposite the park.

Each home is optimised for energy efficiency under Sustainability Victoria’s Whole of Home Initiative—reducing costs and environmental impact.

White & Weston is also optimised for energy efficiency under Sustainability Victoria’s Whole of Home Initiative, reducing running costs and environmental impact.

Security and convenience are also top of mind, with basement parking equipped with number plate recognition technology and a BESS (Built Environment Sustainability Scorecard) rating 10 per cent above industry average.

Each apartment is sold with a six-year building guarantee and 52-week defect coverage. An incentive offer for early buyers via Apartments.com.au includes a complimentary whitegoods package for the first three purchasers.

Marshall White Projects Director Liam Adey says early interest has come from empty nesters, professional singles, and young couples.
