South Yarra's Former Longford Cinema to Become Flats

AND so the curtain closes on another Melbourne theatre.

The site of the former Longford cinema complex in South Yarra is set to be redeveloped into a major five-level, 36 unit apartment complex with ground floor shops.

One bedroom apartments in the high-end redevelopment start at $515,000 and include a car park, and storage room.

The Longford complex, at 53 – 61 Toorak Road, closed in 2001 at about the same time as other independent cinemas including the Lumiere Lonsdale Street, the Trak Cinema, Toorak, the Carlton Moviehouse. The Valhalla in Richmond closed in 1996.
