Prahran precinct

Major renewal is underway in South Yarra and Prahran for the benefit of current and future residents. We’re not just delivering more homes but better, energy efficient and accessible homes as well as shared community spaces.

Redevelopment is happening in careful stages with a focus on community input, design excellence and sustainability goals.

Bangs Street, Prahran – residents are already enjoying quality new homes and community spaces.
Simmons Street and Essex Street, South Yarra – we’ll soon be welcoming residents to beautiful new homes and shared spaces.
259 Malvern Road, South Yarra – planning underway for new homes and shared spaces.
25 and 27 King Street, Prahran – part of the next stage of redevelopment, timed for relocating residents to access new homes nearby.

It’s all part of building well-designed and thriving neighbourhoods for a better future.
