Each month, we put the spotlight on the progress of various projects in and around the state of Victoria. This time, we look at the Residential sector and the latest updates from three projects: the Liberty One apartments, Victoria Square and Burwood Brickworks.

Liberty One

Project: 24 storey apartments

Status: Construction

Developer: Bensons Property Group Pty Ltd

Architect: Elenberg Fraser Pty Ltd, CHT Architects PTY Ltd

Construction Start Date: January 2020

Construction End Date: January 2021

Value: $200 million

With a strong team and budget behind it, this brand-new apartment complex from Bensons Property Group is set for construction in early 2020. The Liberty One will have two towers with amenities such as a full gymnasium, library and cinema space, and will also provide a four-level basement car park for residents.

Aside from the interior, you can expect to see a wide range of external building elements to make this new location stand out from the crowd. There’s a lot going into this project, so there is a wide range of opportunities available, and we can’t wait to see the end result.

Victoria Square

Project: 3 buildings – 6, 23 & 25 storey apartments

Status: Construction

Developer: Growland Group Pty Ltd

Architect: Kavellaris Urban Design Pty Ltd

Construction Start Date: November 2018

Construction End Date: 4th quarter 2021

Value: $120 million

There are not two but three different buildings coming together as a part of this exciting project in Victoria Square. Acclaimed developer Growland is helming the construction of these spacious residences which hope to take advantage of their vibrant location to offer homeowners a dynamic life in the city.

Each tower will include modern facilities and associated works, with 419 apartments of various sizes and landscaping done around the area.

Construction has already commenced on these builds, but with a projected end of late 2021, there’s still plenty of time to get involved.

Burwood Brickworks

Project: 4 buildings – 4 storey apartments

Status: Construction

Developer: Frasers Property Australia

Architect: DKO Architecture Pty Ltd, NH Architecture Pty Ltd

Construction Start Date: August 2019

Construction End Date: November 2020

Value: $50 million

Last, but certainly not least, this is one of the most exciting works we’ve seen kicking off this year. Construction has begun on this four-building project in Melbourne’s renowned Burwood Brickworks community, with the Hacer Group leading the way as the appointed builder.

Across 267 apartments, we will see every expected facility along with stunning courtyards and other key features outside, with the first four buildings almost sold out and only six apartments remaining. The sustainability focus of the complex, complete with water recycling systems, solar panels and rooftop urban farm, make this an exciting project to be part of.

This location has been a big draw for investors and is primed to continue highlighting the best that East Melbourne has to offer.
