It was a strong April for new apartment developments launching in Melbourne, with buyers offered up six new developments to talk about.

It's still far away from what's required, with both building approvals and completions at record lows, at a time when Melbourne is the fastest-growing city in terms of population.

The last update from the ABS saw Melbourne's population grow 167,500 people in 2022-23, above Sydney's 146,700.

There continues to be a large imbalance between new apartment developments being submitted, approved, and built, against the thousands heading to Melbourne to call it home. The demand is coming to the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne off the plan apartment market</a>, and supply isn't.

We've wrapped up the six apartment developments that launched across Melbourne in April.

Every new Melbourne apartment development launched in April

Cranes working on residential developments in Melbourne grew in the first quarter of 2024.

The latest edition of the Q1 2024 RLB Crane Index® reveals a measured uptick in crane activity across <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>, with a 14 per cent rise in residential crane numbers compared to Q3 2023. The total number of residential cranes jumped from 94 to 107.

While heading in the right direction, only two of Melbourne's six main regions recorded gains in crane numbers. Melbourne's north is booming, with 26 cranes added, while there were five added to Melbourne's east.

There's been a jump in large development sites in Melbourne's north which command multiple cranes.&nbsp;

There are now&nbsp;three cranes at HOME in Alphington, two each at Glenvill's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/yarrabend-alphington-57-parkview-road-alphington">YarraBend</a> in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/alphington-vic">Alphington</a>, Ballarat Street in Brunswick, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/pace-3058-coburg-9s-wardens-walk-coburg">PACE 3058</a> in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/coburg-vic">Coburg</a> and Hamton's Moonee Valley Park in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/moonee-ponds-vic">Moonee Ponds</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24822 project_image_fid=254449]

The residential sector continues to dominate crane activity in Melbourne, accounting for 55 per cent of all cranes in the city. While an uptick quarter on quarter, the total number of cranes is still five per cent lower than it was this time last year.

Most residential sub-sectors saw lower activity in 2023, with apartments down by 10.8 per cent and new houses down slightly by 0.4 per cent.

A total of 55 cranes were added to residential sites over the past six months, and 42 cranes were removed.

Despite being two of Australia's most populated cities, Sydney has 196 more cranes in the sky than <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>, which is contributing to the huge undersupply of new property in the Victorian capital.

Inner Melbourne recorded the same number of cranes as Q3 2023.

A total of 38 new cranes were added and the same number of cranes were removed. The residential, commercial and civil sectors each have more than 10 cranes. The sites with the most cranes in inner Melbourne are <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/seafarers-docklands-731-flinders-street-docklands">Seafarers</a> by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/docklands-vic">Riverlee</a> in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/riverlee">Docklands</a>, Melbourne Quarter Tower by Lendlease and Local: Kensington.

Residential crane numbers paint bleak supply picture for Melbourne apartment supply: RLB Crane Index Melbourne Q1 2024

For centuries, Australia's oldest prisons have taken up prime land across the country.

It's the case in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs where Long Bay jail occupies 32 hectares of prime eastern suburbs real estate that has long been touted as a potential to somewhat curb some of Sydney's crippling housing supply issue.

In Brisbane, there's the now-closed H.M. Prison Brisbane, more commonly known as Boggo Road Gaol, one of the most notorious prisons in the country before it closed its doors in the 1980s. That still sits on a prime near 10-hectare block of land in Dutton Park, just south of the city and on the fringe of Woolloongabba, the focal point of the 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympics.

The Melbourne Assessment Prison is located in one of the most sought-after and busy spots in the heart of the Victorian capital, straddling both Spencer and La Trobe Streets in the heart of the city.

These prisons sit on blocks of land that will likely never be traded, which is why when the HMAS Pentridge Prison in Coburg shut down operations in the late 1990s, astute developers swooped on the 6.7-hectare parcel which is located near the centre of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/coburg-vic">Coburg</a>.

One of those developers was Pace, who secured a site that was formerly the exercise yard of the prison. The site Pace acquired left them with a relatively blank canvas compared to some other developers who bought parts of the prison which had to be retained as part of the redevelopment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24822 project_image_fid=254327]

While not having to follow strict heritage rules, architecture firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB Architects</a> still looked to the old prison for inspiration.

"You see the old bluestone walls and you want to embrace its history," former SJB Director Tristan Wong said.

"It's so important, and it is a special part of Coburg's history. Those memories are still there and very visible, but there's now just this much more, community-focused, locally-inspired project. it's like it's had this rebirth or regeneration of its former youth."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24822 project_image_fid=254339]

Pace will soon be welcoming residents to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/pace-3058-coburg-9s-wardens-walk-coburg">Pace 3058</a>, a collection of 311 apartments and townhouses&nbsp;that are slated for completion in the coming months.

The location has been a major driver in interest given it's just 13-minute walk from Coburg Station and the town centre.

Nestled behind Sydney Road, Pace 3058 is surrounded by expansive parklands, bike trails, and a diverse selection of restaurants and cafes.

The nearest park,&nbsp;Coburg Lake Reserve, is&nbsp;only an eight-minute stroll from Pace 3058, offering picnic areas, playgrounds, barbecue facilities, and walking and bike paths surrounding the lake.&nbsp;There is also a Palace Cinemas within a five-minute walk of Pace 3058.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24822 project_image_fid=254321]

Jackson Reserve, a busier recreational park, featuring&nbsp;an off-leash dog area,&nbsp;a playground, an adjoining basketball stadium, and a track and field oval&nbsp;is just a quick five-minute drive away.

Several retail and dining options also surround the development, starting with The Boot Factory across the street, The Glass Den towards the rear of the property, and O’Hey Cafe an eight-minute walk away.&nbsp;

Moreover, residents are only a three-minute walk to Coburg Farmers’ Market, five minutes to Ritchies IGA Fine Food and Wine Merchants, and just within a kilometre from the closest Woolworths and Coles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24822 project_image_fid=254326]

Completing the ideal location checklist for family buyers, Pace 3058 not only offers proximity to parks, playgrounds, retail, and dining options but also sits just 400 metres from Coburg Primary School and 850 metres from Coburg High School.

Health services are also nearby, with Merri Health only an eight-minute walk, and Harding Street Medical Centre, a five-minute drive away from Pace 3058.

Prospective buyers can choose from one, two, and three-bedroom DDA-compliant apartments, as well as double-storey three-bedroom townhouses.

Australia's inner-city prisons and their potential for new apartment development

For a second month in a row, Melbourne's unit market outperformed houses, a trend now being noticed across the majority of capital cities throughout Australia.

Values of units in Melbourne (which incorporates both apartments and townhouses), grew by 0.1 per cent,&nbsp;according to data from property data analytics firm CoreLogic's Monthly Hedonic Index.

While only modest growth, houses in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a> went backward -0.2 per cent. Melbourne units are outperforming houses over the rolling quarter, up 0.4 per cent in the last three months compared to a -0.3 per cent decline in the house market.

The median value of units in Melbourne currently stands at $613,000.

<h2>What happened in Melbourne's off the plan apartment market in April?</h2>

Comprised of 23 two-storey townhouses, Brunswick Established offers multiple typologies of townhomes to suit different living requirements, allowing residents to grow in place - the majority include ground-floor bedrooms for accessibility while others provide a detached room separated by a courtyard.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136451 project_image_fid=270371]

City Beat May 2024: Melbourne unit growth outstrips houses for second straight month

Local owner-occupiers have jumped at Mirvac's new Brunswick apartment development, Prince &amp; Parade.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/prince-parade-by-mirvac-brunswick-701-park-street-brunswick">Prince &amp; Parade</a>, on the doorstep of the 39-hectare Princes Park, home of Carlton Football Club, walking paths, sports grounds, and playgrounds, has proven to be a hit with local buyers from <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/brunswick-vic">Brunswick</a>, as well as the neighbouring&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/parkville-vic">Parkville</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/princes-hill-vic">Princes Hill</a>, and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/carlton-vic">Carlton</a>.

There's been an influx of purchasers who are working in the medical industry in particular, given the development's proximity to several local hospitals. Prince &amp; Parade's location has also proven favourable for academics who work at highly prestigious local universities like <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic" target="">Melbourne</a>&nbsp;University and RMIT.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=217113]

The parkside location has been one of the biggest drivers in purchasing, according to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>. The Urban community has also marked the great location as the biggest key strength of the project.&nbsp;There are few opportunities to be so connected to nature in inner-city Melbourne.

Prince &amp; Parade is just four kilometres from the CBD and is within walking distance of the historically vibrant suburbs of Melbourne's inner north. It's also just a short walk to Jewell Train Station and Royal Park Train Station.

Early site works by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/mirvac-construction">Mirvac Construction</a> have commenced, with Prince &amp; Parade's completion slated for June 2026.

Melbourne's well-documented supply chain woes aren't easing in a hurry.

There were some notable development applications however submitted across the capital in April, some of which will bring some much-needed density to the apartment sector.

Of course, these projects won't be realised for several years, with the approval phase, marketing, and then the build generally making the lifespan of a new development between four to five years, depending on density and the speediness of the approval process.

We've wrapped up some of the biggest and best development applications across Melbourne in April.

<h2>Address: 99-109 Lorimer Street, Docklands</h2>

Melbourne&nbsp;developer Ross&nbsp;Pelligra&nbsp;is set to take on one of his largest projects to date, lodging plans for a huge multi-stage precinct in Melbourne's&nbsp;growing Fishermans Bend precinct.

Development manager <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/citinova">Citinova</a> has proposed a four-tower development, designed as a "cohesive 'family' of towers" by Architectus, that will bring over 1000 apartments to the chronically undersupplied Melbourne market.

One of the towers will be dedicated build-to-sell, while there will be more build-to-sell apartments in tower two that will also home 200 hotel rooms and extensive amenities.

Tower three will be a commercial office tower that may suit a coworking provider, and Tower Four will be build-to-rent apartments. All the towers will be linked by a podium that will feature vibrant laneways with an arts and culture hub, retail tenancies and an urban grocer.

The five-stage project will also include an unencumbered 3,075 sqm public open space.

Landscape architect <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/mala">Mala Studio</a> has been part of the design, as have planning consultants <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/tract-landscape-architects">Tract</a>.

ASX-listed developer Mirvac is continuing to position itself as one of the biggest apartment developers in Melbourne, with a string of their completed developments and new projects resulting in a huge contribution to the Melbourne apartment market.

Perfectly positioned on the north-facing bank of the Yarra River, just two kilometres from Melbourne’s bustling CBD, Yarra’s Edge offers lush parks and playgrounds, a&nbsp;1.3 kilometre riverfront promenade, retail and dining options, and for boating enthusiasts – Marina YE.

Trielle&nbsp;is one of&nbsp;Mirvac's most amenity-filled projects they've ever developed, with every facility from a&nbsp;wellness centre designed by&nbsp;Australia’s leading&nbsp;spa expert Naomi Gregory&nbsp;complete with 25-metre lap pool and spa, biophilic gym, magnesium spa, cold-pail contrast treatment and day spa treatment rooms to hybrid and flexible work options including a resident library with business-class work pods as well as the Mills Place dedicated office spaces.

Relaxation and entertainment amenity has not been overlooked with a piano bar, resident dining room, cinema room, games room, golf simulator studio, teppanyaki barbecue with adjoining outdoor dining and dog wash bay being a welcome addition to every resident's home.

We recently visited Trielle's display suite, onsite at 16 Point Park Crescent, Docklands,&nbsp;to look at the development in more detail.

Property developer Wickton is continuing to move fast in Melbourne's development space.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/wickton">Wickton</a>, led by Blanco Norton and architect Will Leaf, has just secured approval for a mixed-use development in the Hawksburn Village precinct, on the border of South Yarra and Prahran.

They secured 387-403 Malvern Road, near Hawksburn Station,&nbsp;late last year. The 1,436 sqm site had approvals in place for both a full residential project and a full commercial project.

Leaf, whose architecture practice <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>&nbsp;is designing three other mixed-use buildings in the Hawksburn Village precinct, redesigned the plans to create a collection of luxury apartments above strata offices and ground-level retail.

"Our goal is to create a true mixed-use typology that draws inspiration from the locale's rich contextual fabric," Will Leaf said.

The design blends brick, steel, and glass with strong vertical forms and generous apertures to create a balanced and sympathetic addition to the village streetscape.

<img alt="Malvern Wickton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9081276c-fd7c-4bcb-8853-3256ad181afa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-23%20at%2010.49.59%20am.png?VersionId=xSgeVO3PqivKPJOHBrzST63JHqNxOlYb" />

There will be a vibrant ground floor retail with premium hospitality and retail spaces that will anchor three levels of strata offices. Seven two and three-bedroom apartments will occupy the top two levels of the building,

The designs were altered from the previous plans so the floorplates expanded, which meant the apartments sat above the building's large privacy screens and the adjoining buildings so both levels of apartments take in uninterrupted views across Melbourne and back to the city skyline.

Blanco Norton said Hawksburn Village is going through a&nbsp;renaissance.

"The village is starting to come alive again," Norton said.

"It's a much more affordable proposition from both a residential and commercial standpoint compared to Toorak village, with all the same level of amenity on the doorstep. It will be the place to be."

Wickton is expecting to start demolition of the bottle shop and adjoining commercial building on the site later this year, and start the build in early 2025. The luxury apartments, two and three-bedders, will hit the market in Q3 2024.

Wickton has been busy in Bayside where late last year they took two owner-occupier focussed projects, both in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/hampton-vic">Hampton</a>, to the market in the space of a week.

The first project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/linacre-rise-hampton-8-10-linacre-road-hampton">Linacre Rise</a>, comprises 27 modern apartments, while the latest release,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/58-beach-hampton-58-beach-road-hampton">58 Beach</a>, has just six apartments with views of both Hampton and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/sandringham-vic" target="">Sandringham</a>&nbsp;Beach. Both were also designed by Leaf's architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/steller-and-ewert-leaf-combine-for-a-reworked-south-melbourne-apartment-tower" target="">Ewert Leaf</a>.

Wickton also has another upcoming project in the Bayside area.
