Be a part of the new Melbourne
In 2000, construction commenced on the
first apartments at Melbourne Docklands.
Since then, approximately $8.8 billion has
been invested in the area, and Melbourne
Docklands is continuing to develop as a place
where people choose to live, work and visit.
Docklands is Australia’s largest construction
project, and it’s a large urban renewal project
by world standards. By acquiring property
in the premium Yarra’s Edge precinct, you
are becoming a part of the new Melbourne
– Melbourne Docklands.
Developed in stages, Docklands is now
approaching the halfway point of its $17.5
billion premium waterfront development.
It is now home to more than 7,400 residents
and high profile office tenants are continuing
to relocate there, along with over 32,000
workers currently employed in the area.
When complete in around 2025, Melbourne
Docklands will almost double the size of the
Melbourne CBD and dramatically increase the
number of city apartments in Melbourne.
Astute investors in Forge will benefit from
purchasing within the established Yarra’s Edge
community. Research Conducted by property
consulting for Urbis found that;
– Melbourne Docklands residential population
is expected to grow at an annual rate of
approximately 7.6% per annum over the
next five years.
– The median price of Yarra’s Edge apartments
in 2014 is $848,000. This is higher than
Docklands as a whole at $580,000 and
almost double that of Greater Melbourne
($425,000). Median apartment prices at
Yarra’s Edge have been consistently higher
than across Docklands as a whole, as well
as being considerably higher than the
metropolitan Melbourne equivalent.
– Some 47% of households at Yarra’s Edge
are owner occupiers this is considerably
higher when compared to Docklands as
a whole where 37% are owner occupiers.
– The rental market for Docklands is strong
with median rents for (one, two and three
bedroom) apartment types higher than
across Greater Melbourne.
– The median weekly rent for three bedroom
apartments at Docklands is $850 pw,
more than double the metropolitan
median ($440 pw).
– Yarra’s Edge apartments have typically
achieved higher rents than average
Docklands rents because of their relatively
small availability and the demand for quality
apartments with reference to location, size
and specifications.
