White & Weston presents the ultimate in parkside, village lifestyle

In one of Melbourne’s most established suburbs, new apartment projects are a rarity.

But a development just 100 metres from Balwyn’s village retail strip, opposite its finest park, and a tram stop? Almost unheard of.

The newly launched White & Weston offers this rare combination — and more.

Balwyn's Retail Renaissance

White & Weston is being delivered in partnership with Coles Group and Cera Stribley. True to that collaboration, the building will be anchored by a flagship Coles supermarket, offering unparalleled doorstep convenience for residents.

While mixed-use developments are common in urban precincts, they remain relatively rare in low-density, predominantly residential suburbs like Balwyn. The inclusion of a modern supermarket — featuring ready-to-eat meals, a fresh produce bar, and organic options — adds everyday ease without compromising the area's village charm.

Retail along Whitehorse Road continues to evolve. Once defined by traditional neighbourhood shops, the strip now boasts an expanding mix of boutique retailers and hospitality venues, including independent fashion stores, specialty food providers, and contemporary cafés.

Local favourites like Birichino Cucina & Pizzeria and Mazu Café exemplify this shift, bringing a more modern dining experience while continuing to serve a loyal local community.

Parkside Living

White & Weston enjoys a prime location on Whitehorse Road, directly opposite Balwyn Park — one of the suburb’s key green spaces and community hubs.

Balwyn Park offers a wide range of facilities, including tennis courts, cricket nets, a football oval, playgrounds, and walking paths. For families and downsizers alike, it delivers the benefits of outdoor space without the upkeep of a private garden — effectively giving residents access to Balwyn’s largest backyard. In addition to this, White & Weston offers over 650 sqm of private gardens designed by Jack Merlo, providing a quiet, green retreat within the development.

Education & Transport

Balwyn’s longstanding appeal, especially for families, is underpinned by its renowned education network. White & Weston sits within the highly sought-after Balwyn High School zone, home to one of Victoria’s highest-performing public schools.

Nearby independent schools such as Fintona Girls’ School and Camberwell Grammar further strengthen the suburb’s appeal for families prioritising education access.

Transport is another key advantage. tram route 109, running along Whitehorse Road, provides direct access to Box Hill, the CBD, and Port Melbourne, offering a practical alternative to driving, with easy connection to both the city and the bay.

The Building

Designed by Cera Stribley and limited to just three storeys, White & Weston retains a low-rise character in harmony with its surroundings. At the same time, it raises the bar with enhanced amenities and refined design — a clear step up from much of the existing apartment stock in the area.

The project comprises 45 two, three, and four-bedroom apartments, set amid lush landscaping by Jack Merlo. Each residence includes a six-year building guarantee and a 52-week defect liability period.

A limited-time early buyer incentive via Apartments.com.au offers a complimentary whitegoods package for the first three purchasers.

Liam Adey, Director at Marshall White Projects, says early interest has come from empty nesters, professional couples, and young families drawn to the location and lifestyle on offer.
