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.
