Through the Fast-Track Program of the Victoria, Australia, government, Vicinity Centres has won approval for a masterplan that includes seven towers ranging from 19 to 50 stories that will deliver 1,700 new homes to one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing communities — Box Hill, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reports, citing The Urban Developer. Designed by Bates Smart, the transit-oriented development (TOD), dubbed Box Hill Central North, will be clustered around the Suburban Rail Loop. It will include 10% affordable housing, along with “significant investment in public open space surrounded by a contemporary mix of apartments, commercial, retail and lifestyles destinations,” observed a Vicinity Centres spokesperson. Located on the northern side of Whitehorse Road, it is half of a two-site project that includes the existing Box Hill Central South development to the south.
