A much-loved part of Melbourne’s north, Brunswick is one of the city’s most popular suburbs, home to a number of chic bars, music venues, and restaurants. Located just a stone’s throw away from Brunswick’s Sydney Road – the longest shopping strip in the southern hemisphere, 4 Ballarat Street creates a new possibility for more people to live in this coveted suburb while saving to purchase a home.

Developed by Assemble, known for their forward-thinking approach and celebrated for their contributions to housing innovation, this project is a testament to their commitment to enhancing living standards through good design.

Incorporating the historic charm of its heritage-listed warehouse façade, 4 Ballarat Street will create more opportunities for people to live in Brunswick. Architecturally designed by local architects Fieldwork, the project is a step towards sustainable urban development bringing together contemporary lifestyle needs alongside environmental stewardship.

With construction well underway, you can move into your home in January 2025.

Experience your home before you buy

The rent and purchase price of 4 Ballarat Street’s apartments are set for up to five years, helping people experience life in their homes as they prepare to buy them – without the housing market racing away from them.

"Assemble's unique purchase pathway, in partnership with AustralianSuper, offers stability and financial certainty to Australians striving for homeownership in a fluctuating market," said Emma Telfer, Chief Operating Officer at Assemble.

This innovative approach underlines Assemble's vision to support people on their pathway to home ownership and reflects a deep understanding of home buyers' need for reliability and stability.

Well-designed, sustainable living

The project includes several bespoke features, meticulously curated to meet contemporary home buyers’ aspirations, including entirely electric homes and sustainably powered infrastructure, illustrating a commitment to 100% renewable energy across all heating, cooling, cooking, and power. This means all residences in the development target a minimum 7.5 NatHERS rating.

4 Ballarat Street’s homes are pet-friendly as well, fitted with robust materials such as timber flooring throughout each home.

Designed to last, open-air walkways bring natural light and air to well-designed apartments. While expansive rooftop amenities, including a kitchen, vegetable gardens, and communal laundry, foster community engagement and provide unrivalled views of the CBD. Ample bicycle storage and a dedicated workshop space are an extension of residents’ homes and support a car-less future.

A coveted Brunswick address

Situated in the heart of Brunswick, this project enables residents to join a thriving community rich with vibrant culture and amenities. With four car-share vehicles in the basement and provision for electric vehicle charging, commuting sustainably is made easy.

Assemble’s accolades, including multiple awards from esteemed institutions such as the Victorian Premier, the Australian Institute of Architects, and the UDIA, are a testament to Assemble’s excellence and innovation in sustainable, well-designed housing.

As 4 Ballarat Street in Brunswick nears completion, the promise of a sustainable, connected, and innovative living solution becomes increasingly tangible.
