Exciting news in Melbourne, with the Warren and Mahoney-designed District Living approved by the Victorian Minister for Planning, providing over 900 high-quality apartments for BTR residents.

The City of Melbourne's planning committee is supporting what promises to be Australia's largest build-to-rent project. Located in Melbourne’s Docklands precinct, the AsheMorgan-developed project comprises two buildings integrated with 4,000 sqm of state-of-the-art amenity, including large green open spaces, an outdoor fitness area and fitness studio. The project will also be all-electric and target a 7.5 NAThers rating, passing further cost-savings onto renters.

“Through design, District Living provides residents increased opportunities to meet and mingle comfortably with neighbours from all different backgrounds and family types,” says WAM Project Principal, Simon Topliss. "We are delighted to see this project progress, and look forward to continue working alongside AsheMorgan to bring this bold, progressive and city-shaping project to life."
