The best time to discover 33 Queens Pde is right now

AT A GLANCE: 

• Developer: Prime Edition
• Builder: Henny
• Address: 33 Queens Parade, Clifton Hill, VIC
• No. of Residences: 32
• Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2027

There’s a particular quality to Melbourne’s inner north in spring. The gardens fill out, the café terraces spill onto the footpath, and the neighbourhoods that were already good become genuinely hard to leave. Clifton Hill is one of them. And, this season, it has something new taking shape above the roofline.

At 33 Queens Pde, the structure is rising. The latest update from the site tells the story clearly. The Henny construction team, led by project manager Luke Mead, is currently pouring the level two slab, while the basement level below has been stripped of formwork and fitted with permanent lighting. The team is on track to top out in October, and Luke's confidence in hitting that milestone is backed by the crew and subcontractors behind him.

A neighbourhood that doesn’t need to be discovered

Clifton Hill sits quietly at the top of Melbourne's inner-north pocket - a suburb that residents tend to arrive in and never quite leave. Edinburgh Gardens is a short walk away, while Clifton Hill Village is on the doorstep.

Clifton Hill Village, with its cafes, independent shops, and local rhythm, is the kind of neighbourhood that makes the idea of a long commute feel genuinely absurd. With a near-perfect walk score of 93/100 and just 5km from the CBD, the location does a lot of the work before you’ve even stepped inside.

The Gasworks precinct nearby has also commenced works, where the Wurun Senior Campus and Bundha Sports Centre are already revealed as part of the precinct. This just adds another layer of long-term appeal to an area already rich with lifestyle infrastructure.

Built the way it should be

33 Queens Pde is a collaboration between developer Prime Edition and builder Henny - a vertically integrated partnership that gives the development a level of design integrity and quality control that's genuinely rare. 

When the same team is responsible for both the vision and the execution, the gap between what's promised and what's delivered tends to close considerably.

“The partnership between Prime Edition and Henny is what makes 33 Queens Pde possible at this level of quality,” said Prime Edition director Alistair Taylor.

“When you’re designing and building under the same roof, every decision is made with the finished product in mind, so there’s no translation loss between intent and outcome. 

“That’s what a vertically integrated approach delivers, and it’s something we’re genuinely proud of.”

Designed by Cera Stribley, the building's 32 north-facing residences reflect a considered approach to inner-city living: natural stone benchtops, Miele appliances, engineered timber floors, full-height windows and concrete-finish ceilings sit alongside private outdoor spaces and concealed air conditioning.

A 7-star NatHERS energy rating means the homes perform as well for the environment as they do for the people living in them. Shared amenity includes a dog wash station and an internal atrium - considered inclusions for a boutique building of this scale.

32 homes. Three distinct ways to live.

The development is appealing to locals looking to trade in the upkeep of a traditional family home for the ease of apartment living, as well as those taking their next step to secure a sanctuary in Melbourne’s vibrant inner north.

Two- and three-bedroom apartments are available from $1,350,000, each with private terraces and generous proportions that feel closer to a house than a typical apartment. The penthouse collection - including a three-bedroom penthouse with study and three car spaces, priced at $4,500,000 - offers a scale and outlook that sets the building apart from anything else in the suburb.

And then there are the Garden Residences. A limited collection of two-storey homes with secure off-street car parks and walled garden terraces, these are for people who want house-sized living without the upkeep - a genuine alternative to a family home in one of Melbourne's most tightly held inner-north suburbs.

A timely moment to act

Construction progress has driven a significant lift in enquiry in recent months - and that's only expected to continue as the building reaches its highest point this spring. For those still considering their move, the timing is worth understanding. Substantial stamp duty savings are currently available under the State Government's off-the-plan concession scheme, and as the development moves closer to completion, that window will narrow.

“When we acquired 33 Queens Pde, we knew immediately that it deserved something considered and lasting,” said Prime Edition managing director Eric Loi.

“Our ambition from the outset was to deliver a building that felt like it had always belonged here, and watching the structure take shape this spring, I think we're achieving exactly that."

Completion is expected in spring 2027.
