A location with strong buyer demand

Urban renewal plans, relocation of industry and its proximity to the CBD have all contributed; astute investors are aware and looking to become involved.

Large, well-priced parcels of land, in close proximity to the city with a vibrant community feel; it is truly unlike anywhere else in Melbourne,” Allard Shelton agent, Michael Ryan, notes.
