Talking points
Booming Box Hill development run continues: A residential developer has picked up an office building site at 25-29 Ellingworth Parade, on the corner of Pippard Street, for $10.85 million, with new towers set to continue reshaping the skyline.
The latest deal saw the 1,220sqm change hands at $9,000/sqm, with potential for a 12-level development. According to The Age, the new owner is considering a mixed-use project.
Outer suburbs taking shape: The Deague family has acquired a 70-hectare site, which includes 1720 Mickleham Road and sites along Olivers Road, outside Craigiburn on Melbourne’s northern fringe for $86 million.
It is expected the property will be part of a new precinct structure plan in the coming years and the new owners are looking to develop a $750 million residential project on the site.
In neighbouring Wollert, Chinese developer Dahua Group has launched its Riverhills residential community of around 800 lots. The project will cover around one-third of the its 300-plus hectares it recently acquired across two transactions, the first of which it paid $70 million in November for a 113ha site with capacity for 1,400 land lots and more than 4,000 residents, for a project end value of as much as $500 million. In May, it acquired the 191-hectare Riverhills Estate landholding.
