Construction Commencing: 5-27 Flemington Road – Student Accommodation
We are the newly appointed builders for:
5-27 Flemington Road – Student Accommodation
Commencing Q1 of 2025
Location: Bedford Street, North Melbourne, VIC.
Dream Team:
We can’t wait to start working with:
Client: Centurion Corporation
Architect: Metier 3
Engineer: Webber Design
Services Engineer: WRAP Engineering
Formwork: SG Formwork
Concrete: Piave Premix Concrete
Builder: Crema
The Purpose:
Located on the northern edge of Melbourne’s CBD, the new accommodation is set to offer students more than a place to stay and study – it will provide a vibrant, well-connected environment where they can thrive.
This building is a key redevelopment project, transforming a former carpark into high-quality student housing. It will address the growing demand for student accommodation, providing a welcoming and well-connected home for students relocating from regional areas, interstate, and overseas to pursue their studies in Melbourne.
The Specs:
Sitting on Bedford Street in North Melbourne, just a short walk from the University of Melbourne and RMIT University, this development caters to students looking for convenience, community, and uncommon common areas.
Beyond its prime location, it is set to be a great example of elevated student living. The building will boast industry-leading common areas designed to foster social engagement, study, and recreation. Some of its key features include:
- Expansive communal spaces tailored to student needs
- A striking entrance spanning two levels of shared areas
- A rooftop pool offering breathtaking city views
- An advanced IoT system for seamless building connectivity
On the exterior, an interesting façade with an intricate design, incorporating a curtain wall and a dynamic pop-out wall made of glass and aluminium. With varying depths, the structure creates a visually striking interplay of depth and dimension.
With 642 beds within the building, it stands out as a modern and thoughtfully designed residence that integrates seamlessly into the city’s established education precinct.
What we’re excited about:
Not only are we setting a new standard for student accommodation – we’re proudly putting sustainability at the core of this project.
The building achieves a 5-star Green Star rating. This certification reflects the project’s commitment to environmental efficiency and responsible construction practices. By ensuring a low-impact, high-performance living space for students, we’re all playing a part in minimising carbon footprint while creating a healthier environment.
With construction beginning in early 2025, we are excited to be at the forefront of delivering a thoughtfully designed, environmentally conscious, and socially engaging residence. We’re set to shape the future of student living in Melbourne.
