Move in April to brand-new South Melbourne apartments, pre-completion incentives available

AT A GLANCE: 

• Developer: Gamuda Land Australia
• Builder: Crema Constructions
• Address: 272 Normanby Road, South Melbourne, VIC 3205
• No. of Residences: 213
• Estimated Completion Date: Stage 1 completes April 2026

Construction at The Canopy, located on South Melbourne’s Normanby Road, is now well advanced with completion expected in a few months.

With pre-completion incentives offered for a limited time and on-site prototype apartments now open to view, it’s no wonder that buyer confidence is shifting towards these near-complete purchases. And with The Canopy at the forefront, there is no better time to secure your place in this perfectly positioned address.

Located at the intersection of South Melbourne, the CBD fringe, and Port Melbourne, The Canopy sits within a continuously evolving inner-city pocket close to established cafés and retail, moments from public transport connections, and within easy reach of employment hubs, green spaces, and the coastline.

Fostering this trend of liveability within its walls, the development is home to a suite of luxurious, nature-inspired amenities. As a resident, you will have access to lush rooftop gardens, an onsen-style Japanese bath, landscaped green spaces, and even a new 2,600 sqm public park anchoring the development.

Inside, the residences prioritise practical layouts and functional design, where interiors focus on clean finishes, thoughtful storage, and open-plan living zones that maximise light and space. Complete with sustainability features and a pet-friendly design, it’s a smarter, more peaceful way of living.

See it for yourself: prototype inspections now open

One of the biggest updates for prospective purchasers is that prototype apartments are now open by appointment – your chance to see and feel the space in real life.

Located on-site at 272 Normanby Road, South Melbourne, the prototype apartments showcase some of The Canopy’s most popular floorplans, including:

• Two-bedroom layouts designed for flexible living
• Three-bedroom options, ideal for families or shared living

These prototype homes are furnished to help you visualise daily life here, from kitchen zones and living spaces to bedrooms and balconies. You can also assess finishes, sightlines, natural light, and the flow of the floorplans, all ahead of the final construction phase.

Stamp duty savings: a smart off-the-plan advantage

Another reason to act now is the temporary Victorian off-the-plan stamp duty concession. Eligible purchasers can secure savings on stamp duty that can equate to thousands of dollars in reduced upfront costs. This Government-backed incentive is designed to support housing activity and can make a real difference in your overall purchase cost.

Stamp duty rules can be complex and dependent on individual circumstances, so buyers are encouraged to speak with their conveyancer or financial advisor.

Why The Canopy now?

As stage 1 of the development enters its final stretch before completion, this combination of milestones reflects certainty, visibility, and financial advantage, making now an opportune moment to buy in The Canopy.

Whether you’re planning to live here, invest, or secure an inner-city address with future upside, this phase represents a meaningful tipping point, from concept and construction toward reality and readiness.

Two- and three-bedroom residences are selling. Priced from $862k for a two-bedroom and two-bathroom apartment.
