<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.

South Kingsville might only cover 0.7 square kilometres and have a population of 2,156, but the quiet suburb near Spotswood and Newport is attracting attention for its connection to everything Melbourne has to offer.

The suburb is in fact so small that two parks cover over eight per cent of its total area.&nbsp;

South Kingsville perfectly combines the trendy café culture of Yarraville with the beachside allure of Port Phillip Bay's fishing havens.&nbsp;

It was this blend that attracted Frater Group to the suburb for their latest townhouse development, Knew, just 32 townhouses which have recently been completed.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95138 project_image_fid=246104]

The New Street project, which has two, three and four-bedroom townhouses on offer, was designed by&nbsp;IN8 Architects who created facades built on bold geometric lines and shapes and European-style terraces.&nbsp;

Knew residents have&nbsp;direct access to Patchwork Park, one of the two parks in South Kingsville. They're just 10 minutes away from the recently upgraded Edwards Reserve, which has a kid's playground and barbecues.

The exclusive South Kingsville address also offers residents proximity to an impressive selection of educational institutions, with 11 schools within a two-kilometre radius.&nbsp;

St Margaret Mary's School, Newport Lakes Primary School and Emmanuel College are some of the nearest schools to the property.

Westbourne Grammar and Heatherdale Christian College, which rank among Melbourne's top 50 VCE performers, are a seven-minute drive from Knew.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95138 project_image_fid=204623]

The development also includes a new childcare centre managed by Community Children. The South Kingsville childcare centre allocates space for five children’s rooms and a cot room on the ground floor, especially for working families that need extended daycare.

As far as eateries go, there's everything from&nbsp;the award-winning Middle Eastern cuisine at Dukkah to delectable soul food BBQ at Burn City Smokers.&nbsp;

Motorino Pizzeria offers authentic Italian pizza, pasta, and gelato, while BlackSheep is a popular spot for breakfast and coffee—all within a ten-minute walk to Vernon Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95138 project_image_fid=246099]

On the weekend, residents can tee off on the lush greens of Altona Lakes, Westgate and Stony Creek golf courses.

Perfect for picnics, birdwatching, and nature hikes with pets, the 33-hectare Newport Lakes Reserve is only a 10-minute walk from KNEW, with its dramatic dividing stones between the North and South Lakes and various walking tracks.

The townhouses are now ready to move in.

Urban Develop has launched Burnley Maltings, a collection of new heritage terraces townhouses which will be developed as an&nbsp;adaptive reuse of the heritage-protected landmark building Barrett &amp; Burston Maltings in Burnley.

Over the years, the landmark building has undergone numerous transformations, evolving from Terry's Burnley Brewery in the late 1800s into the recently vacated Barrett &amp; Burston Maltings.

Today, it stands on the precipice of another remarkable transformation as Burnley Maltings takes centre stage.&nbsp;

<img alt="Burnley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e02681c8-3e84-4e8e-86b8-959dd61ad698" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%203.03.22%20pm.png?VersionId=_e1mi2Vb.CkepDkcZuD0eQRQBXr0eQGC" />

Burnley Maltings comprises only 37 two and three-bedroom heritage and contemporary townhouses with a rooftop terrace overlooking uninterrupted views of the Yarra River, the CBD skyline, and glimpses of Melbourne's prestigious mansions along Alexandra Parade, South Yarra, and St Georges Road, Toorak.

The townhouses will surround the iconic Burnley heritage silos and a lush, green courtyard landscaped by the renowned Jack Merlo.

The architectural vision for this project is to acknowledge and celebrate the site's heritage while ushering in a new chapter of its storied existence.

<img alt="Burnley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8cdf47bb-82ee-4cb6-b764-de8abe5d5ce7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%203.03.29%20pm.png?VersionId=cgj3P37kiigVboV43MChj8SXwlPpugj." />

Inspired by Burnley's urban, industrial, landscape, and residential heritage, Freadman White Architects integrated the heritage-protected grain silos and iconic facades on Gibdon Street and the Monash Freeway into the new architectural design, artfully modernised with contemporary elements such as large windows and vertical louvres.

Spanning an impressive 3,568 sqm, the Barrett &amp; Co Maltings site is only four kilometres from the CBD, at the centre of inner-city amenities, roads and parks and boasts extensive panoramic views—highly appealing attributes to prospective buyers in the Melbourne market.

<img alt="Burnley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e4d17258-e1ac-46ec-a3cd-0d90036215bb" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%203.03.39%20pm.png?VersionId=Ekfn8fOZHNE1uANwQPeT3opbUobdzPwl" />

Colliers agent Peter Bremner says it's probably one of the largest undeveloped titles in Burnley. It offers impressive views of the CBD skyline from higher levels and provides good panoramic views in all directions.

The Burnley Maltings Display, housed in the old caretaker's quarters, provides a compelling insight into how the project will marry contemporary living with historical preservation. Every aspect, from signage to display items, has been thoughtfully curated to align with strict heritage overlays, ensuring that the rich history of this site is revered and celebrated.

Australian developer Golden Age Group has received&nbsp;council approval for its residential <a href="/new-townhouses/wembley-hill-15-hay-street-box-hill-south">Wembley Hill</a> project in Box Hill South and on a site in excess of 50,000 sqm, is one of the most significant developments within the booming suburb.

Hampton's Service Street is lined with heritage buildings, each holding stories of significance and displaying artful craftsmanship.

Effortlessly blending into the street is Marlu, a rare new off the plan townhouse development in the sought-after Bayside suburb.

Drawing inspiration from the neighbouring heritage, Marlu, just seven three-bedroom townhouses, will pay homage to its surroundings while infusing a contemporary appeal.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140140 project_image_fid=219622]

Crafted masonry work will adorn Marlu's exterior, boasting an arrangement of bricks that create a nonuniform pattern, while in a bid to capture the coastal essence of the suburb, light-toned timber will be incorporated throughout to create a contrast against the deep terracotta hues.&nbsp;

The facade is further enhanced by electro bronze steel windows that are recessed into the structure, with the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors seamlessly connecting the residences with private courtyards, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the interior spaces.

Prolific Bayside townhome developer Sloane has launched its latest project, in the area's most affluent suburb.

Sloane, led by longtime developer Adam Sloane, has launched 111 Carpenter, a collection of just seven townhomes in one of Brighton's most connected pockets.

"It was all about the location," Sloane said of the Carpenter Street address.

"Brighton offers one of the best lifestyle offerings in Melbourne. There’s the beach, the parks, the café culture, cinemas, retail… it has it all.

"I knew 111 Carpenter was a fantastic, central site for a townhouse project based on the tree lined streets, shops, schools and transport which are all at your door. It is the ideal spot to base your family and explore all that bayside has to offer."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7517 project_image_fid=222382]

Sloane had go-to architectural partner Chris Megowan design 111 Carpenter. Megowan’s brief was to design high calibre, sophisticated and vibrant family homes that capitalise on the site’s expansive northern exposure.

All seven townhouses are north-facing, and some feature a master bedroom on the third level which overlooks neighbouring rooftops.

Each townhouse has either three or four bedrooms across two of three levels. The open plan living area opens through bifold doors to private landscaped gardens by&nbsp;John Patrick Landscape Architects. Each home has a double garage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7517 project_image_fid=222381]

Megowan, a Brighton local, said he knew exactly how to design to what people in the suburb want.

“The key spaces of each home were strategically oriented to the north and designed with optimised passive solar and ventilation in mind," Megowan says.

“It’s rare to find a development in Melbourne where every dwelling has an ideal orientation and access to at least two exposures for ventilation”.

The terraces and living areas at 111 Carpenter have been designed to receive the optimal amount of sunlight throughout the day which dramatically increases the energy efficiency and thermal comfort of each home. They're positioned so there will be no need for artificial lighting during the day and northern sun is much easier to mitigate in the summer months through the use of eaves and overhangs.

"Lastly, for those who enjoy greenery, a north-facing terrace is ideal for plants to thrive allowing for a more vibrant and verdant outdoor environment."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7517 project_image_fid=214119]

111 Carpenter is the fifth partnership between Sloane, Megowan, and Jellis Craig Projects with Sales Director Stephen Bowtell.

Bowtell says both Sloane and Megowan know exactly&nbsp;what to deliver when it comes to Bayside townhouse developments.

"Adam has a deep expertise in this typology," Bowtell says.

"The experience in developing townhouses designed around liveability and family lifestyle, is what really sets Sloane apart from other developers"

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7517 project_image_fid=218198]

Bowtell is anticipating interest from the family buyer, given the Carpenter St address sits within the catchment to a number of the areas best schools.

"There's apartments in Brighton which are meeting the needs of the downsizer, and then there's the grand mansions Brighton is known for. There's a gap in the market for this type of product, offering house like proportions with lower maintenance in a highly desirable location."

Sloane are looking to start construction early next year, forecasting completion mid-2025.

"There is no room here for token gestures – each space has been shaped from the inside out," Rowe said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104627 project_image_fid=222327]

One of the defining features of Wembley Hill is its tiered gardens, mature trees, and open green spaces that seamlessly blend into the architecture. The precincts are united by a palette of warm and off-white brickwork, complemented by natural or charcoal timber accents and vertical greenery.

Curved facades grace Hay Street Village townhomes, while others boast upper terraces with views of Gardiners Creek.

Mediating between the architecture and landscape, the interiors are richly layered, incorporating raw natural expressions in stone, timber, and brass. The spacious interiors are adorned with high-end finishes and appliances, offering intelligent joinery solutions that support a modern lifestyles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104627 project_image_fid=222321]

Wembley Hill isn't just a residential development; it's an oasis within the bustling city. With over 13,000 sqm of green spaces featuring cascading landscapes and tiered gardens, residents will find tranquility and rejuvenation right at their doorstep.

Exclusive amenities are also planned for the community,&nbsp;ensuring that residents have access to a vibrant and enriching lifestyle just moments from their home.&nbsp;

The community's urban planning takes inspiration from the site's natural slant towards Gardiners Creek, infusing Wembley Hill with botanical qualities that give it an alluring sense of place.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104627 project_image_fid=222319]

Situated in the coveted and highly desirable Box Hill area, it's ideally located just a five-minute drive away from Box Hill Central, Sky One Plaza, SKY SQR, and a range of local eateries.
