More and better homes are coming to Northcote
Posted on: 27/02/2025 - 1:36pm
Work is underway to replace 87 older-style social homes with 250 new homes at Walker Street, Northcote.
The older-style homes did not meet modern design standards and will be replaced with 99 social homes and 151 market homes that are modern, sustainable and high-quality.
We’ve partnered with MAB Corporation, including Brady Group as the builder, and trusted not-for-profit community housing organisation HousingFirst, to deliver this important project.
There will be a mix of one-, 2-, and 3-bedroom homes to accommodate different-sized households, but it’s not just about delivering more homes – it’s about building a community.
Once the project is complete, renters will have access to new shared spaces and outdoor areas, including landscaped courtyards, a rooftop garden, a community room and direct access to one of Northcote’s key destinations, Merri Creek.
The redevelopment project is set to be completed in mid-2025.
HousingFirst will be responsible for managing the social housing at the Walker Street site by providing renters with tenancy support, property maintenance and asset management services.
