Caydon Reportedly Behind $16 Million Brunswick Development Site Purchase, Melbourne

, , ,

LOCAL builder Caydon has purchased another major development site, this time in Brunswick East, and at the suburb border of Carlton North and Fitzroy North.

The Collingwood based developer is understood to have paid about $16 million for a one hectare disused factory at 21 – 27 Brunswick Road, near the corner of Nicholson Street where it is completing another project.

Caydon is reportedly planning to redevelop the old factory site into a $120 million village of apartment towers, shops and offices.

At that value, the project will be even bigger than the controversial Tip Tip factory redevelopment around the corner, being undertaken by Toll boss Paul Little’s building arm, Little Project Development.

Soon before listing the property for sale in August, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal granted Mirvac a permit to build a $120 million, 5-level office which at 18,800 square metres, would have been one of the biggest in the suburb.
