Elgin Towers, Carlton
The first step in regenerating Victoria’s public housing towers is underway with the redevelopment of the Carlton Elgin Towers.
We are delivering more and better public housing at Elgin Towers, Carlton with 248 new apartments. The new homes will be modern, accessible, and energy efficient, in a location that is close to shops, parks, transport and services.
The Australian Government and Victorian Government are partnering to redevelop the Elgin Towers as the initial Victorian project of the Federal Government’s Social Housing Accelerator investment.
The award-winning firm, Architectus, renowned for their approach to quality design of social housing, has been appointed as the lead architect for Elgin Towers, Carlton.

We received valuable input from Carlton residents, neighbours and local stakeholders.
The consultation period has now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated in this process.
