AT A GLANCE:

• Builder: Valeo Construction
• Number of Residences: 46
• Estimated Completion Date: December 2025

Abbotsford is set to welcome a remarkable new development that embodies the best of inner-north living. Melbourne-based property developer DCF Property Group introduces New Johnston, a distinguished off-the-plan apartment project offering a seamless blend of residential comfort, cultural richness, and environmental sustainability.

Nestled at 400 Johnston Street, New Johnston is designed to be more than just a place to reside; it aims to be a lifestyle choice, where an abundance of green spaces, and some of Melbourne’s coolest suburbs of Richmond, Collingwood, Fitzroy, and the CBD, are all closeby.

Constructed by Valeo Construction, renowned for their dedication to excellence and sustainable practices, this development is on track to be completed by December 2025.

With the new stamp duty concessions available for all off-the-plan developments in Victoria, you can receive significant savings when you purchase a New Johnston residence.

Modern homes with an Abbotsford character

Featuring 46 residences spread over eight levels, New Johnston provides a variety of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments reminiscent of Abbotsford’s artsy character.

Preserving the valued heritage of the urban streetscape, Marchese Partners’ architectural design pays homage to the character of neighbouring masonry warehouses, featuring a distinct remix of old and new finishes that are authentic and honest to the locale.

While Zunica designed the homes’ interiors with modern living in mind, considering Abbotsford’s industrial yet premium aesthetic and flexible spaces with premium penthouse fixtures and finishes.

“Our intention for New Johnston was to create a connected series of tranquil spaces through the repeated use of natural materials,” said Andrew Zunica, principal of Zunica.

“Warm timbers envelop the apartments, stone wraps into service areas, and brass details punctuate in delicate proportions.

“The connection to exterior views and natural light is ever present, creating a sense of constant calm and refuge throughout the day.”

With apartments featuring spectacular views of South Yarra, Victoria Park, the Yarra River, and the city, your home here is a sanctuary.

A sustainable community

New Johnston stands out not only for its architectural design but also for its commitment to sustainability and resident well-being. The development boasts an impressive BESS score of 72, reflecting its excellence in environmental sustainability. Features such as the reuse of rainwater, effective cross-flow ventilation in all apartments, and a comprehensive recycling protocol during construction underline its eco-friendly ethos.

The project also incorporates ground floor spaces for hospitality, office, and retail tenancies, facilitating a vibrant community atmosphere right at your doorstep. While a central courtyard garden, basement car parking, and bicycle parks provide practical and eco-friendly solutions for urban living.

This thoughtful mix caters to a broad audience, from first-home buyers and investors to downsizers and locals seeking convenience and style.

In the heart of Abbotsford… 

Residents are in the midst of a rich cultural and recreational scene. A stone’s throw away from the Yarra River, New Johnston is surrounded by the verdant landscapes of Studley Park and Collingwood Children’s Farm, as well as the bustling dining and entertainment venues of Richmond, Collingwood, and Fitzroy.

Enhanced by excellent transport links, including the Victoria Park train station just a six-minute stroll away, as well as various tram and bus routes, residents are ensured easy access to the Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs.

One-, two-, and three-bedroom off-the-plan apartments are now selling, with one-bedrooms priced from $555,500.

With construction underway, you can move in December 2025.
