Following the completion of a detailed site feasibility and master plan, JCB is now designing the first apartment complex to be delivered under an innovative build-to-rent model between Housing Choices Australia and Assemble Communities.

Located in south-east Melbourne, the proposed development represents a high quality, mixed-use project with three key components: an office building with retail offerings, multiple residential buildings and a landscaped, public realm throughout.

The large site provides an engaging neighbourhood experience while a generous public square forms a gateway to the precinct. The project aims to positively contribute to and engage with Clayton’s emerging character, particularly along the elevated rail corridor.

Taking design cues from the local suburban vernacular, the buildings exhibit shades of local terracotta, olives and cream, while corrugated concretes echo the iron sheet roofs beyond.
