In Melbourne’s evolving inner-north, Frith & Howarth is steadily taking shape, bringing together thoughtful design, future-focused living, and a strong emphasis on smart technology.

Comprising a boutique collection of three- and four-bedroom house-sized apartments, this Brunswick project is moving towards a 3rd QTR 2027 completion, with demolition and site preparation now complete and basement construction underway.

Beyond the construction milestones, what sets Frith & Howarth apart is how it’s being built for the way people live today.

Smart technology designed for everyday ease

At Frith & Howarth, smart living is embedded into the daily experience of residents.

From the moment you arrive, number plate recognition technology allows seamless entry into the car park, identifying approved vehicles instantly. It’s a small but meaningful detail that removes friction from daily routines – no remotes, no delays.

Inside the building, 24/7 CCTV coverage monitors key areas including entry points, corridors, and car parks, offering residents an added sense of security around the clock. This is complemented by smart access control systems, ensuring that only authorised residents and guests can move through private spaces.

Each apartment is also equipped with a video intercom system, allowing residents to see and communicate with visitors before granting access, bringing both convenience and peace of mind into the home.

Lighting has also been considered with equal intent. Motion sensor lighting in shared areas enhances visibility while improving energy efficiency, ensuring spaces are well-lit exactly when needed.

Together, these features create a living environment that feels intuitive, secure, and quietly efficient.

Built for a connected, future-ready lifestyle

Beyond security, Frith & Howarth integrates technology that supports how people live and work today.

High-speed internet connectivity is built into every residence, enabling seamless remote work, streaming, and smart home integration.

The development is also entirely electric, incorporating energy-efficient systems, EV charging provisions, and a strong sustainability focus, aligning with the expectations of modern buyers looking for long-term efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

This forward-thinking approach extends to the design itself. Architecturally designed by MAP Architects, each apartment is generously proportioned, with considered layouts, ample storage, and functional inclusions that further prioritise comfort and liveability.

Progress on site

Construction is progressing steadily, with early works complete and foundations now underway. The next stages will see the structure rise, followed by internal fit-outs and final detailing.

It’s a timeline that reflects a carefully managed build, backed by an experienced team including developer Young Group and builder Stemcon.

A smarter way to live in Brunswick

Set on Victoria Street, Frith & Howarth places residents within easy reach of Brunswick’s vibrant mix of cafés, parks, and transport, being just a six-minute stroll from the Brunswick train station, a 15-minute walk from the Barkly Square shopping centre, and surrounded by chic cafes such as ONA Coffee, Lux Foundry, and Project 281 Coffee Roasters.

As a resident of Frith & Howarth, you can enjoy all that this vibrant locale offers and more, then come home to an environment that prioritises comfort, security, and privacy.

More than just a collection of apartments, Frith & Howarth represents a shift toward smarter, more considered living where technology enhances the everyday without overwhelming it.

Three- and four-bedroom residences are selling, with construction set to complete in the 3rd QTR 2027.
