New Apartments Melbourne

Know this:

This page displays new off the plan property (apartments or townhouses) for sale in the Melbourne CBD.
If you’re looking for apartments in another part of metropolitan Melbourne, you can start your search here.

Where are we talking about?

Melbourne, postcode 3000, is the area commonly referred to as the CBD.

Melburnians also simply refer to the area as 'the city'.

Spencer to Spring Street, Flinders to La Trobe Street (with a small annex north of La Trobe Street to Victoria Street and then down William Street as well as a corridor on either side of Elizabeth Street up to the Haymarket Roundabout) - it is the original European settlement of Melbourne.

The traditional custodians of the land are the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

Some more practical information about Melbourne's CBD:

Melbourne’s CBD hosts many of the city’s institutions including the Town Hall, Flinders Street Station and Queen Victoria Market.

Other institutions that sit adjacent to the postcode/CBD boundary include the Victorian Parliament and Southern Cross station.

Since European settlement, the streets of the CBD grid have served many purposes, however in modern times, Elizabeth and Swanston Streets are considered the retail core of the city and Collins Street is considered the pre-eminent business address.

Bourke Street is at the heart of the retail core but is also considered a desirable business address too.

Melbourne's CBD has changed a lot over the last few decades

Since the 1980s and 1990s, the City of Melbourne council has encouraged residential development within Melbourne and its wider local government area.

Second only to Southbank, some of the tallest residential buildings are located in the northern annex of the CBD located between La Trobe and Victoria Street.

In the 2016 census, Melbourne - postcode 3000 - was the most densely populated part of Australia.

Melbourne continues to be a magnet for developers with many off the plan buying opportunities on offer. Strong with owner-occupiers looking for a new apartment as well as investors seeking their next prudent investment, Melbourne has a range of off the plan properties to suit a wide range of budgets.

Legendary nightlife, vast retail options, tonnes of theatres and live music venues, cocktail and wine bars, and of course hundreds upon hundreds of restaurants and eateries all combine to make choosing to buy your new home in Melbourne a true urban lifestyle choice.

Land Transfer Duty in the City of Melbourne

Also known as stamp duty, land transfer duty in the City of Melbourne can attract exemptions and concessions. According to the State Revenue Office of Victoria (SRO), there are temporary exemptions and concessions that are time-limited.

To quote the State Revenue Office:

“A 50% concession is available for new residential properties and a full exemption is available for new residential properties that have remained unsold for 12 months or more since completion of construction. Different contract dates apply for each. The 50% concession applies after all other eligible benefits, such as the first home buyer duty concession, the principal place of residence concession (including any off-the-plan concession), and the pensioner concession have been taking into account”

Always consult the SRO’s website for the most up-to-date information and always seek professional advice on your tax obligations.

Planning for the City of Melbourne

The City of Melbourne and the Melbourne CBD benefits from many different Victorian Government infrastructure initiatives.

Schools will be a focus for Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs in the coming years

Some of the state’s first ‘vertical schools’ have been built in Central Melbourne (with others in the pipeline) and when it comes to transport, Melbourne nearly always benefits from any investment that is directed into public transport.

The rail network is getting a major upgrade

Melbourne’s rail network is mostly radial in nature and it is a champion at moving people from the suburbs to the centre of the city.

One project that is seeing central city expansion - along with two new stations located in the CBD that interface with other existing stations - is the Melbourne Metro Tunnel project.

It is a 9km tunnel that will host 5 new stations and link train lines from the metropolitan area's west and south-east. It increases central city railway capacity, improves journey times and will allow other lines to increase services. In the end, Melbourne’s CBD will have even greater connectivity to all other points in the metropolitan area.

You'll soon be able to get to the airport by train too

Leveraging off the Melbourne Metro Tunnel project is the Melbourne Airport Rail Link. A new branch to the airport will be built from Sunshine, however trains using the Melbourne Metro Tunnel will also run out to the airport, giving the CBD two stations from where you can easily travel to and from the airport.

Given Melbourne is the heart of the metropolitan area and the state capital, it also attracts major investment in maintenance and accessibility improvements on the tram network. Many of Melbourne CBD’s tram stops are now raised platforms.

With the growing overnight / residential population and the huge daytime population, there are always large and small infrastructure projects underway in the city.

A snapshot of off the plan apartment buying opportunities.

Central Melbourne off the plan property and development projects tend to be larger in size and they also tend to have the most diverse range of apartment configurations and layout options available.

A 60, 70 or 80 storey apartment tower genuinely is no sweat in Central Melbourne - there are dozens of them that have already been built and there are many in the pipeline. New apartments are constantly for sale off the plan and along with neighbouring suburbs, there will likely be many opportunities for the years to come.

Given land prices are high in the centre of Melbourne, that directly translates into large buildings.

When beginning your search, be sure to use the full gamut of search options available at the top of this page.

First home buyers in Melbourne have access to first home buyer grants and exemptions - consult the SRO website for more information. When intending to buy off the plan in Melbourne we recommend registering your interest through the forms provided on any of the listings you see on this page.

Registering your details with a qualified sales professional on Urban will make the journey to finding new apartments smoother.

Buying an Apartment Off The Plan in the City of Melbourne

The process of buying an off the plan apartment or a new property in the City of Melbourne does not differ all that much when you buy in any neighbouring suburb or elsewhere in Victoria.

The primary difference will be when it comes to assessing your land transfer duty. The exemptions and concessions are time-limited and always consult the State Revenue Office’s website for the most up-to-date information.

Buying off the plan is a highly individualised process, however there are some key milestones that we can outline.

Interested buyers will often need to first pay a refundable fee (generally $1000) to reserve a specific unit and again, generally speaking, that reservation will be active until such time as a contract for purchase is signed.

If the buyer elects not to proceed, the reservation fee will be refunded.
If the buyer elects to proceed with the purchase, broadly speaking, a contract will need to be signed and a 10% deposit (minus the reservation fee already paid) will need to be paid.

Contract signing and taking all the deposits is a key milestone for the developer as, broadly speaking, they will use them as collateral to secure financing for the construction of the new property.

When construction of the building has been completed, developers will generally contact you and set up a time to complete the settlement of the transaction.

Settlement is the process of exchanging any deeds and it is when you need to have your finances in order so your bank or other financial provider can then pay the developer for your new home.
