MELBOURNE DOCKLANDS DEVELOPMENT GIVEN GREEN LIGHT

Located in Melbourne’s Docklands precinct, the $700 million project designed by Warren & Mahoney is comprised of two buildings integrated with 4,000sq metres of state-of-the-art amenity, including an outdoor dog park, dog wash, outdoor fitness area, fitness studio, pool, sauna, steam room and sky terrace fit with kitchen and dining spaces. Large green open spaces will be located throughout the building, while 1,700sq metres of public outdoor open space on the ground plane will also be created.

“Through design, District Living provides residents increased opportunities to meet and mingle comfortably with neighbours from all different backgrounds and family types,” Warren & Mahoney Principal Simon Topliss explained.

Mat Stoddart, Development Director of AsheMorgan which is spearheading the project, says he is thankful for the Victorian Government’s support. 

“Project completions, both across build-to-rent and build-to-sell, are expected to fall well short of the required numbers in the next five years in terms of population growth, further cementing a need for a project such as this,” he says.

“The project will help cater to the growing demand for high-quality apartments within the suburb, in particular, families who want to live in the Docklands Primary catchment and those already renting.”

The project sits in close proximity to AsheMorgan’s completed mixed-use precinct The District Docklands, as well as 500 metres from North Melbourne train station. District Living plans to tender for a builder later this year.
