<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.

Melbourne off the plan townhouses

Boutique townhouse developer,&nbsp;<a href="/developers/sloane-property">Sloane</a>, is accepting deposits of just five per cent at its under-construction Brighton townhouse development, 111 Carpenter.

The lower deposit, plus significant stamp duty savings since the government <a href="/news/vic/vic-government-slashes-stamp-duty-for-off-the-plan-property-buyers-savings-available-immediately-oct-2024">abolished stamp duty in October 2024 for 12 months</a>, aims to provide greater accessibility to purchasers seeking larger homes in one of Melbourne's most sought-after suburbs.

Located on Carpenter Street, the project comprises just seven townhomes designed by award-winning architecture firm Megowan, who has a deep understanding of the area and its lifestyle demands. Megowan has designed several successful projects for Sloane across Melbourne.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7517 project_image_fid=214118]

Each townhouse has been crafted to maximise the northern exposure of the site, with key living spaces oriented to optimise passive solar gain and cross-ventilation.&nbsp;

The two and three-level townhouses, under construction with multi-award winning builder Virgon Constructions, offers three to four-bedroom configurations with north-facing open plan living areas and private courtyards designed by <a href="/landscape-architect/john-patrick-landscape-architects">John Patrick Landscape Architects</a>.

Sloane Managing Director, Adam Sloane, highlighted the location as a major drawcard, citing <a href="/developments/brighton-vic-3186">Brighton</a>’s combination of beachside living, parks, cafes, retail, and highly regarded schools.&nbsp;

With the project situated amongst tree-lined streets and close to shops and public transport,&nbsp;Sloane noted that the development provides an ideal base for families wanting a low-maintenance yet spacious home in the Bayside area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7517 project_image_fid=218198]

While apartments in the area cater largely to downsizers and Brighton's grand mansions suit families seeking large-scale homes, Brighton has had a lack of new townhouse development in recent years, a dwelling type designed to bridge the gap between apartment and house-sized living.

The projects is weeks away from lock-up and is on track to complete in late 2025.

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.

<a href="/developers/coff-property-group">Coff Property Group</a> has secured approval for its $46 million townhouse project in Prahran.&nbsp;

The development is a partnership between Coff PropertyGroup and Monark Property Partners, a non-bank lender with over $1 billion in funds under management.&nbsp;

The Stonnington Council’s approval process has been remarkably swift, an impressive turnaround for a project of this scale on a small side street.

There will be 17 townhouses on a 2,200 sqm site at 113–115 Chomley Street - a rare addition to <a href="/developments/prahran-vic-3181">Prahran</a>'s apartment-dominated market.

“Prahran is a place that is dear to our team, and we’re committed to ensuring what we do with this site will contribute positively to this cherished neighbourhood,” Adam Coff said.

Expected to be priced between $2.35 million and $3.2 million, the residences will add much-needed stock to the inner south market and will benefit from recent stamp duty changes announced by the Victorian Government, and were designed as an urban retreat with three-metre high ceilings, private gardens, open living spaces, private internal elevators and rooftop terraces.

Each townhouse is limited to two or three levels, with a single-level basement providing two parking spaces per residence to reduce street congestion.&nbsp;

The ground floor features an open living, dining and kitchen area that extends to a private terrace.

Select residences will have north-facing exposure and city views from third-floor balconies and will be enhanced by private individual elevators from the side-by-side lockable garages.

Designed in collaboration with <a href="/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley Architects</a> and Andrew Panton Design, the project takes inspiration from Prahran’s urban and eclectic character while incorporating modernist design elements and prioritising green spaces and community integration.&nbsp;

Materials such as bricks and metal detailing have been selected to create a contemporary yet understated aesthetic.&nbsp;

The development is divided into three clusters, allowing for landscaped spaces that maintain the residential scale of Chomley Street and soften the visual impact of the buildings.

Landscaping includes private gardens, deep soil planting, and a shared green pathway designed to enhance the streetscape and provide a more open feel compared to the existing structures on the site.

<a href="/developers/m3-group">M3 Group</a> is building a reputation as one of the premier, boutique, townhouse developers in the northern areas of Melbourne.

Following on from its successful completion of a trio of townhouse developments in Reservoir, the all-in-one developer, builder and designer has moved south to <a href="/developments/preston-vic-3072">Preston</a>, where it is <a href="/new-apartments/23-sussex-st-by-m3-group-preston-23-sussex-preston-vic-3072">creating another four townhouses</a> with a distinct architectural design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145878 project_image_fid=289254]

Location has always been paramount for M3 Group given the demographic of either downsizers or young families they develop for. They settled on a site on<a href="/new-apartments/23-sussex-st-by-m3-group-preston-23-sussex-preston-vic-3072">&nbsp;Sussex Street</a>, just off Dundas Street and near the Preston Activity Centre.

High Street, just a short walk away, is a lively hub featuring an eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops, making it a popular destination for locals.&nbsp;

Preston Market, another nearby attraction, is well-regarded for its wide selection of fresh produce and specialty foods, serving as a convenient spot for weekend grocery shopping or a casual lunch.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145878 project_image_fid=289257]

For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the townhouses are close to several green spaces including the Darebin Creek Trail and Sir Douglas Bader Park, offering scenic routes for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature.&nbsp;

The nearby Northcote Aquatic and Recreation Centre and local golf courses further enhance the area's appeal for sports and fitness enthusiasts.

Families who intend to call 23 Sussex Street home will also benefit from nearby educational institutions including Preston South Primary School, Preston High School, and La Trobe University, providing quality education options for children of all ages.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145878 project_image_fid=289259]

Preston is well-connected by public transport, with multiple tram and train routes offering easy access to Melbourne's CBD and other parts of the city.

23 Sussex Street is located between Bell and Thornbury Station, 15 minutes away by bus.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145878 project_image_fid=289258]

M3 Group, founded three decades ago by the Mancuso family and still operated by them today, will start construction at 23 Sussex Street soon.

23 Sussex presents a rare opportunity to secure a townhouse in a suburb predominantly characterised by single dwellings. Only 25 per cent of houses in Preston are townhouses, according to the latest census.

The strategic advantage of 23 Sussex St: M3 Group’s focus on location for new Preston townhouse development

Townhouses have emerged as an increasingly popular choice for homebuyers seeking a balance between the convenience of apartment living and the space of a standalone house.

Offering a unique blend of affordability, space, and privacy, townhouses are an ideal solution for those looking to bridge the gap between these two traditionally distinct property types. With their multi-level layouts, townhouses often feature larger living areas than apartments, while still being more affordable and manageable than detached homes, making them a sweet spot for many buyers in today’s competitive real estate market.

For upsizers, townhouses offer the opportunity to expand without stepping into the larger, more expensive realm of detached homes. Buyers with growing families or those who simply need more space often find townhouses an appealing option. With multiple bedrooms, additional living areas, and often private outdoor spaces, townhouses provide room to spread out while remaining in a desirable location. Many townhouses are situated in vibrant urban or suburban neighbourhoods, offering a balance of convenience and space that single-family homes may not always deliver.

At the same time, townhouses are equally attractive to downsizers looking to simplify their lives without sacrificing too much space or comfort. For empty-nesters or retirees who no longer need the upkeep of a large family home, townhouses offer an appealing compromise. They typically require less maintenance than a detached house but still provide ample space for comfortable living. Many townhouses also come with features like low-maintenance yards and modern amenities, making them an easy choice for those wanting to reduce their living footprint without feeling cramped.

Melbourne's inner west&nbsp;has become increasingly popular for townhouse development due to a combination of factors that make these areas highly appealing to both developers and buyers. As Melbourne continues to grow, the inner west offers a strategic location with easy access to the city’s CBD, making it an attractive option for those who want to live close to the action while still enjoying a more relaxed, suburban lifestyle.

One of the key reasons for the popularity of townhouse developments in these suburbs is the relatively affordable land prices compared to other inner-city areas. While the inner city and more established suburbs have seen significant price increases, the inner west still offers more value for money, making it an appealing area for both rightsizers and downsizers, and even first home buyers.

The inner west is also known for its vibrant community, rich culture, and proximity to local amenities, which further adds to the attractiveness of townhouse living. Suburbs like <a href="/developments/yarraville-vic-3013">Yarraville</a> and <a href="/developments/south-kingsville-vic-3015">South Kingsville</a> are popular for their charming local shops, cafes, restaurants, and strong sense of community, while <a href="/developments/altona-north-vic-3025">Altona North</a> has easy access to major shopping centres and transport links. These areas are also close to parks, schools, and recreational spaces, making them ideal for families, professionals, and retirees alike.

The area's ongoing gentrification is another contributing factor to the rise of townhouse developments. As these suburbs evolve, more young professionals and families are moving in, looking for modern, low-maintenance housing options that offer a mix of style, space, and convenience. With good public transport connections, proximity to major road networks, and the overall appeal of the local lifestyle, demand in Melbourne’s inner west isn't likely to abate.

Some of Australia's biggest developers have descended on Melbourne's inner west, further solidifying the view the area will continue to grow.

We've rounded up the top five townhouses currently being developed or recently completed in Melbourne's inner west.

Why Melbourne's inner west has become one of the most popular regions for new townhouses

The Allan Labor Government has said it is "going all-in on townhouses and apartments that are affordable to build and will stand the test of time in quality, design, aesthetics and sustainability"

Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny has announced a turbocharged plan for Victoria’s future homes that will drive a new era of affordable architectural heritage in this state.

The plan will compel good design by:

<ul>
	<li>
	Rewarding affordable, well-designed buildings – and the developers who put in the effort to build them – by granting them a fast track through the planning system
	</li>
	<li>
	Expanding the ‘design book’ of great designs by including existing buildings that have made a mark and are loved by residents and the community
	</li>
	<li>
	Letting Victorians have their say for the first time on how Victoria’s streetscapes and buildings should look
	</li>
	<li>
	Building real life examples of ‘design book’ homes on government-owned land so Victorians can see and feel them – and then move in
	</li>
</ul>

Kilkenny said the&nbsp;community deserves affordable buildings that look great on the outside and feel solid as a rock on the inside.

"Our plan is for more grand designs but without the grand cost," Kilkenny&nbsp;said.

“We have an incredible opportunity before us to renew our suburbs and streets with well-designed apartments and townhouses that are great for singles, families and downsizers – and which add to the architectural fabric of our state.”

The Government says the plan will drive change: flipping the script to promote, reward and speed up the construction of townhouses and apartment buildings that look great on the outside – and feel solid as a rock on the inside.

The Great Design Fast Track

The Government will introduce a new, fast-tracked pathway for buildings with homes that meet the test of build quality, good design and sustainability – so developers can build better homes without the additional costs and delays associated with projects that might look a bit ‘different from the norm’.

The&nbsp;Great Design Fast Track&nbsp;will be developed by the Minister for Planning to focus on townhouse and apartment projects of three to six storeys in height. It is intended to apply statewide and work in a similar way to the current Development Facilitation Pathway (DFP) that exists for more significant housing projects.

As with the current DFP, locals would retain the right to know what’s going on and have their say. The DFP accelerates a project through that system, giving confidence to developers that their cost-sensitive projects won’t get stuck in an expensive state of limbo.

Through this fast track, Victoria can give a stronger arm to architects and developers who put in an effort and take on more personal risk by building projects that look great and add lasting value to streets and communities. They should not be punished by a culture that quashes creativity and sustainability.

The Government will expand its&nbsp;State Design Book&nbsp;of ‘future homes’ – projects that are planned on paper alongside artists’ impressions but don’t yet exist – by welcoming into its pages the best examples of good, affordable designs that are already in the ground, home to Victorians and loved by locals.

While the Government is producing such a design book, which is still on track for completion by the end of 2024, the book will be more useful through the inclusion of high-quality developments that are already complete – at a scale up to 6 storeys. It will be a showcase of great buildings that were realistic and viable to deliver.

Eligible designs will be required to encourage sustainable, family friendly and accessible homes, with communal spaces and gardens. Examples of homes that&nbsp;could&nbsp;feature include the beautiful Balfe Park Lane, which delivered 72 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments with a big communal backyard in East Brunswick.

The design book will also establish best practice principles and guidance for well-designed apartments and townhouses – to guide developers and give communities confidence about the long-term quality of new homes.

"We will reward the buildings that are designed the best" VIC Gov to speed up approvals for best designed apartment developments

Melbourne developer Samuel Property Group is set to launch Hali Dromana, a rare $120 million townhouse community on the Mornington Peninsula.

Hali Dromana, with 69 bespoke townhomes starting from $1,495,000, is set to transform Dromana’s beachfront at&nbsp;105-111 Point Nepean Road, a near two-hectare site that was previously the former Kangerong Holiday Park and an unused Caltex service station.

<a href="/developers/samuel-property">Samuel</a> Managing Director, Illan Samuel, says&nbsp;<a href="/new-townhouses/hali-dromana-105-111-point-nepean-road-dromana-vic-3936">Hali Dromana</a> is a homage to the beloved 1960s holiday home where Australian summers were defined.

"Hali will give&nbsp;<a href="/developments/dromana-vic-3936">Dromana</a> a fresh identity that will stand the test of time," Samuel says.

&nbsp;

The architectural vision by renowned firm <a href="/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>,&nbsp;combines retro inspiration with a laid-back, contemporary feel.&nbsp;

“Our design for Hali is a tribute to simpler times, with an emphasis on airy, open spaces and natural materials, yet with a level of sophistication that today’s buyer expects,” Dom Cerantonio of Cera Stribley says.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147112 project_image_fid=330356]

<a href="/project-marketer/blair-property">Blair Property Group</a> Director Darren Blair, who is handling the sales of Hali, says the development brings back that sense of belonging and community you’d find in beachside neighborhoods of the past.&nbsp;

"With the display opening on Pier Street this December, we’re giving buyers a chance to experience firsthand what it’s like to live in a home that embodies both nostalgia and innovation.”&nbsp;

Blair is expecting interest from the local area in particular.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147112 project_image_fid=330376]

Hali Dromana comprises 69 three and four-bedroom townhouses, a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave opportunity rarely seen in the Mornington Peninsula market.

Samuel Property Group is well-known for delivering quality apartments across some of Melbourne's best suburbs. They're currently delivering Louise, just off St Kilda Rd, which is over 80 per cent sold and is under construction.

“At Samuel Property, we pride ourselves on crafting homes that stand the test of time,” Illan says.

“With Hali, we’re bringing the same level of attention to detail and quality that has earned us our reputation for excellence.”

Sloane Property Group&nbsp;has catered for two of the most important aspect ofs homebuying at its new Mentone townhouse development, <a href="/new-apartments/kindred-mentone-25-brindisi-street-mentone">Kindred</a>.

The Urban Community said both the floorplans on offer, and the&nbsp;<a href="/developments/mentone-vic-3194">location of Kindred</a>, are the two best qualities in the new architecturally-striking townhouse development.

The townhouses each span three levels and have three bedrooms. A rare feature of the townhouses is the&nbsp;usable two-car garage, which Sloane expects to not only be used for parking a car, but for a home gym or office setup.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138768 project_image_fid=309787]

The rooftop decks are too a rarity in a suburb that is dominated by houses. Several of the townhouses feature roof decks with views across the bay.

The kitchens at Kindred serve as both functional and aesthetic focal points, with floating islands, premium reconstituted stone benchtops, soft-close oak cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. They've been designed to entertain and promote family interaction.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138768 project_image_fid=214860]

Kindred’s architecture by Sloane's longtime partner <a href="/architects/megowan-architectural">Megowan</a> is deeply inspired by its coastal setting, with the recycled cream brick exterior and white timber slats mirroring the colours and textures of Mentone Beach.

The Scandinavian avant-garde influences bring a modern yet organic feel to the development, evident in the curves and timber features that define the homes.&nbsp;

The integration of large windows and flowing balconies allows natural light to flood the interiors while maintaining a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138768 project_image_fid=214862]

The Urban Community has also been impressed with the location of Kindred.

Located on Brindisi Street, Kindred residents will sit across the road from Mentone Reserve, with an oval and playground, and a short walk to the centre of Mentone where there's the suburb's retail precinct and train station.

It's just one kilometre metres from the beach where there's the Bay Trail, a dog-friendly beach, and the Mentone Lifesaving Club.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138768 project_image_fid=214989]

&nbsp;

Construction of Kindred is well underway, and <a href="/developers/sloane-property">Sloane</a>&nbsp;expects the townhouses to complete by the end of 2025.

Around half of the townhouses are spoken for.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=138768]

Construction of Kindred is well underway, and Sloane expects the townhouses to complete by the end of 2025

Kindred Mentone design and location catches buyer's attention

Sloane Property Group has appointed local builder <a href="/builders/level-10">Level 10</a> to lead the construction of their Kindred townhouse development in Mentone.

<a href="/new-apartments/kindred-mentone-25-brindisi-street-mentone">Kindred</a>, located on Brindisi Street, comprises just 10 three-bedroom townhouses, of which over half are already spoken for.

The townhouses are designed by award-winning architects <a href="/architects/megowan-architectural">Megowan</a>, with whom Sloane has collaborated on several projects in the past.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138768 project_image_fid=214857]

Kindred has drawn attention for its beach-inspired architecture, featuring a recycled cream brick exterior, white timber slats, and cascading greenery, echoing the nearby cliffs and <a href="/developments/mentone-vic-3194">Mentone</a> Beach.

Some of the townhouses come with rooftop decks, providing views over the suburb and an opportunity for homeowners to create personal spaces like rooftop bars or exercise areas.

The development's garages offer flexibility beyond just parking, with space for home gyms or storage for recreational equipment such as bikes and paddle boards.&nbsp;

Each townhouse also includes oversized double lock-up garages, a notable feature given the flexibility of them being used either as a traditional parking space, or a home gym or office.

Eco-friendly features like solar-ready roofs, electric charger installations, and a minimum 6-star energy efficiency rating highlight the project's sustainability focus.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138768 project_image_fid=214989]

Mentone's location has been a major draw for buyers, with the development situated just a few streets from the beach, local reserves, and the bustling Mentone Parade retail strip.&nbsp;

The proximity to schools such as Mentone Grammar and Kilbreda College, combined with the area's recreational opportunities, including nearby golf courses and parks, has added to Kindred's appeal.&nbsp;

The demand has been steady, attracting local buyers as well as interest from further afield, including an expat purchaser familiar with Megowan's design quality.

Sloane Property Group has a solid track record of delivering architecturally-driven townhouse projects across Melbourne, particularly in the Bayside area.

Kindred is expected to welcome residents in late 2025.

The proposed Sunshine Precinct is set to become the central hub of Melbourne’s booming west, driven by significant infrastructure investments and strategic urban planning.&nbsp;

Positioned as a National Employment and Innovation Cluster (NEIC), a Metropolitan Activity Centre, and a Priority Precinct, Sunshine is on the brink of transformative growth.

The vision for the proposed Sunshine Precinct is ambitious: to become the dynamic centre of Melbourne's west, supporting the next generation of jobs, innovation, and services. The Precinct is expected to accommodate up to 45,000 jobs, 26,000 homes, and a population of up to 70,000 residents.

At the heart of the transformation is the Sunshine Station Superhub, a pivotal element designed to provide seamless transport connections to Melbourne's CBD, the Melbourne Airport, and Victoria’s western regions.&nbsp;

The proposed Superhub will be developed through several key projects, including the Melbourne Airport Rail and the Western Rail Plan, which will upgrade Sunshine Station and enhance connectivity throughout the region. There’s also the proposed Sunshine Energy Park, which will transform 74 hectares into a forward-thinking urban park featuring a new stadium, outdoor sporting facilities, a community club, a sustainability precinct, and a cultural and ecological precinct.

The Melbourne Airport Rail will, for the first time, connect passengers directly from the airport to Sunshine Station and onwards through the Metro Tunnel to Melbourne's CBD.&nbsp;

Sunshine’s population is projected to more than double over the next three decades. To manage this growth, the Victorian Government released a Precinct Opportunity Statement, outlining the vision for the area’s development.&nbsp;

The proposed Sunshine Precinct will focus on three main hubs: Sunshine Station, Sunshine CBD, and The Albion Quarter.

Located adjacent to the future Sunshine Precinct, Development Victoria’s LUMA Sunshine North development is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the proposed Sunshine Precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=286483]

LUMA is a masterplanned community of 300 townhouses in the heart of Sunshine North. LUMA’s Urban and Tempo homes offer a range of two, three and four-bedroom floorplans, all within walking distance of the new Willowbark Reserve which features a children’s playground, barbecue facilities, and shaded picnic areas.

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 natHERs energy rating. The development is well-connected, with proximity to train stations, the Western Ring Road, Sunshine Hospital, and various local amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=255556]

Future plans for the site include a pedestrian and vehicle bridge over Stony Creek via Metherall Street, providing a link between LUMA and the existing community, and new commercial and retail precincts featuring a mix of retail outlets such as supermarkets and specialty stores to support the everyday needs of local residents.

Right now, Development Victoria is making home ownership more accessible with its&nbsp; 2.5% upfront deposit offer. Purchasers pay a 2.5 per cent deposit and a further 2.5 per cent up to six months after contract signing.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=255559]

Development Victoria has appointed SAW Construction to deliver Stage 2 homes who have over 15 years' experience in townhouses construction across Victoria. SAW Constructions are also building the homes in Stage 1 which have surpassed 60 per cent complete.
