<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

Box Hill, Victoria 3128: The complete suburb guide for buyers

<html><body>
EXPERT OBSERVER 
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
As Asian-influenced community hubs continue to flourish throughout Australia’s major capital cities, Victoria’s Box Hill is the latest setting benchmarks for large-scale, fast-paced development. 
The area 14km east of Melbourne’s CBD has one of the State’s strongest representations of Asian cuisines and retail. Now commercial centre outside Melbourne’s city centre that contains almost 150,000 square metres of office space.
In the past five years, Box Hill’s population grew 26% according to government surveys, the same time period in which the area also saw one of Melbourne’s biggest building booms with dozens commercial and residential towers either approved, under construction or completed. 
Residential property has also experienced a significant uplift with median house prices rising 147.2% in the past decade according to CoreLogic, a figure that ranks among the State’s highest. Furthermore, the Australian Bureau of Statistics forecasts a 191% increase in the number of dwellings to be developed by 2036. 
With Box Hill now referred to as Melbourne’s “second CBD”, property observers see the Whitehorse Local Government Area suburb becoming one of if not the major commercial and activity hubs of the city’s east. The CBRE report notes that the entire region is benefitting from substantial government funding and infrastructure combined with aggressive town planning that prioritises high density living. 
“Box Hill is now offering a genuine alternative to the Melbourne CBD for investment, employment, entertainment and a place to stay,” says Paul McAleer, former planning manager of the City of Whitehorse. 
<h1>Chinatown Mark II </h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
Key among Box Hill developments is the $450 million “New Chinatown” project. Announced in May this year by Golden Age, New Chinatown is part of the developer’s mixed-use Sky Village development comprising two 18-storey towers of 429 luxury apartments which will rise above this new 10,000 sqm precinct.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
Golden Age describes New Chinatown as a “revolutionary hospitality, retail, commercial and healthcare precinct”, a one-stop destination of lifestyle and entertainment offerings, constructed in a fusion of traditional Eastern and modern Western design philosophies and connected by floating walkways and winding pathways. 
The Sky Village project, located in Station Street and designed by Fender Katsalidis, will be the developer’s third Box Hill project. Golden Age founder Jeff Xu said the company’s vision in creating New Chinatown was to expand on as well as celebrate the cultural, historic and gastronomic ties the Box Hill area had with Melbourne CBD’s long-established Chinatown. 
Helping fuel this growth are a raft of major public and private sector institutions and the tens of thousands of people they bring into the suburb. Among them are Deakin University with over 50,000 students, Box Hill Hospital which admits 50,000 patients annually and the Box Hill Institute with 65,000 students and hundreds of employees. 
Last but certainly not least are the plans slated for Box Hill’s transport network, namely the Box Hill Transit Interchange. This is already Melbourne’s the second busiest train-bus interchange in Melbourne’s metropolitan network. Now a newly proposed $50 billion train line would create a fast, efficient link for Melbourne’s outer suburbs in a route circumventing the inner city.
 This ‘Super Loop’ will connect key stations on every suburban line, delivering Box Hill a direct link to Clayton and Melbourne Airport and allowing businesses in the area to foster stronger ties with other commercial precincts and residential suburbs. CBRE observes that this will result in “the distinctive multicultural hub of Box Hill growing even further and faster”, while the Box Hill Interchange Ministerial Advisory Group forecasts patronage to grow by more than 45% by 2031. 
Changing of the guard 
Melbourne CBD’s Chinatown is also experiencing fast-paced shifts, new-style businesses overtaking the old as large-scale residential developments take shape around them. The number of Chinatown businesses changing hands and owners requiring commercial real estate advice prompted commercial agent Jonathan Lu to form his boutique agency Grandfield Property a few years ago to service their needs.
“It’s not only the owners but also the tenants who now require specialist advice,” Mr Lu says.
“The new operators coming in don’t know what the contracts are or what sites would be suitable for their types of businesses.”
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 3">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
Mr Lu says this is being driven by the demise of the traditional family restaurant in favour of modern outlets as fried ice-cream and spring rolls fall out of fashion in favour of matcha affogatos, bubble tea and dumplings. Rates per square metre in Chinatown and Box Hill can be more than double those of other commercial precincts as demand is so high from these newer operators, he says, with long standing family-run Chinese eateries selling to up-and- coming Asian food chains and ‘lifestyle’ cafes capitalising on Asian cuisine’s healthy image, menus heavy on tofu and sashimi salads instead of chicken chow mein and sweet and sour pork. 
“Old style hospitality businesses are struggling,” Mr Lu says. “Now we have a lot of Chinese bubble tea tenants on the waiting list for suitable sites... and across the board there’s high demand from the Chinese restaurant and hospitality sector and short supply of premises in the areas of Chinatown they want to be.”

Box Hill leads the way for Asian community hubs

<html><body>
A piece of Box Hill real estate history, known as the Governor Bligh's Hunting Lodge, has come onto the market.
Located at Lot 906 Timbercrest Street, the property was built in 1870.
It has been maintained by descendants of the Terry family.
According to the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, it was used by the family for expeditions as part of the Sydney Hunt Club.
Henry Montgomery, a stonemason, is believed to have leased the property in the mid-19th century, and may have been commissioned by landowner Samuel Henry Terry to build the stone lodge.
Up until the 1970s it was also surrounded by a small moat. 
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/11/15/box%20hill%2022.jpg" alt="">
The residence sits on a 2736 square metre block, with sprawling views of the surrounding suburbs and parklands.
Originally built entirely of sandstone and timber, the cottage is ordained with Gothic Revival architecture and features three bathrooms, timber flooring, an open fireplace, and a large loft space.
A new slate roof and galvanised guttering was installed September 2017.
Box Hill's median house price is $829,000.
John Kelly and Fiona Spindlow, from Starr Partners Riverstone, listed the property.

A group of strata unit owners have joined forces to sell their assets in one line to a Chinese developer for $14.1 million. 
The eight units on the 2,061 square metre landholding at 12-16 Shipley Street in Box Hill have been acquired by a number of families since 1985. 
Savills Australia’s Dorothy He, Benson Zhou and Julian Heatherich brokered the deal.
It was at a rate of $6,841 per square metre.
He said it was rare to be able to market a series of assets in one line. 
“To the vendors, the family memories carry enormous emotional weight, leading them to eventually decide to sell together,” she said. 
“They were able to achieve a greater sale price by selling their units together than they would have if they took them to market individually.”  
He said the purchaser recognised the versatility of the site, which currently provides a flexible income stream as a land-bank prospect and is also one of the final major development opportunities in Box Hill. 
“The buyer, a locally based Chinese developer, realised the upside of a landholding in the Box Hill Activity Centre,” she said. 
“This is a proven development location, with several successful projects either complete or under construction in the immediate area.
“With an adjacent 20-level project under construction, substantial height can be achieved through development (STCA) and there is enormous potential for views of the Box Hill Gardens and Melbourne CBD.”
Savills has previously tipped Box Hill to become Melbourne’s second high-rise CBD, with the City of Whitehorse population forecast to grow to about 22,850 people by 2036. 
“Box Hill is a thriving hub in Melbourne’s east, currently home to more than 12,500 residents,” Zhou said. 
“The suburb is projected to need more than 5,000 new dwellings in the next decade and beyond, in order to accommodate the rising population, which has been a direct result of significant public and private investment into health, education, retail and commercial initiatives in recent years.”

McGrath Estate Agents has announced the appointment of Ripple Wu as leading its Box Hill office.
McGrath founder John McGrath recently pinpointed Box Hill as one of his top picks in the recently released McGrath Report 2019.
Located around 14 kilometres east of the city, Box Hill is a bustling multicultural cosmopolitan suburb with strong public transport links with its own hospital and and school. 
The hub is thriving with houses on large blocks that have great development potential, McGrath noted.
“Despite a cooling market I believe the Melbourne offers good potential for capital growth over the long term due to solid population and employment growth, major investment in infrastructure, and affordable housing that will be a catalyst for interstate migration.”
Ms Wu (pictured left) joined McGrath last month as sales agent, previously at Ray White Blackburn where she claimed to enjoy the No 2 female agent ranking in Ray White Victoria and Tasmania.
She will be a director and co-principal of McGrath Boxhill, leading a team of 12 agents.

A family-owned strip of retail shops in Box Hill has been listed for sale for the first time in more than four decades.
CBRE has been appointed to market the properties, located at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-land+development-vic-box+hill-502905594" target="_blank">941 – 947 Whitehorse Road</a> (pictured above), comprised of three retail tenancies, home to Yao’s Chinese Therapy Centre, ShaanXi Style Restaurant and Hao’s Oriental Grill Bar.
Occupying a 917 square metre site, CBRE expects it to generate investment interest of more than $8 million.
The site is being offered via an expressions of interest campaign.
CBRE’s Chao Zhang said Box Hill’s attractive mix of transport, education, retail and lifestyle amenities would be of interest to investors. 
“Box Hill continues to be a desirable investment and development location, with interest from both local and offshore Asian buyers and many of these prospective buyers have identified its growth potential given the limited supply of high density land in the area,” Zhang said. 
The listing follows the recent sale of <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-land+development-vic-box+hill-502771766" target="_blank">25-29 Ellington Parade</a> (pictured below) in Box Hill, selling for just under $11 million to a Chinese developer.
