We have celebrated the topping out of 393 Macaulay Rd, Kensington, our first apartment project to be delivered under our celebrated Assemble Futures housing concept!

With recent calls for the Australian government to legislate housing as a human right, especially to take responsibility for homelessness and provide enough community housing for the vulnerable, now is the time to pause and consider how we address housing.

Assemble’s Development Manager, Elissa Loh-Brown joined Nightingale Housing and Common Equity Housing at Urban Land Institute’s ‘Novel Neighbourhoods’ event.

Assemble’s Managing Director, Kris Daff discussed the topic of ‘Community & Societal Drivers Behind Build to Rent’ at the ‘Driving Growth & Investment – Build to Rent’ conference by Criterion Conferences in Sydney.

We held our ‘Meet your Neighbours’ drinks for the future residents of 393 Macaulay Rd at the Hardimans Hotel in Kensington. Our future residents came along to meet one another for the first time since signing-up in December 2018 and we can’t believe what an incredible group of people will soon be calling 393 Macaulay Rd home!

Our first project to be delivered via the Assemble Model has been identified as one of Resilient Melbourne’s Resilient Communities (an initiative of 100 Resilient Cities – pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation).

We’re delighted to share that we now have a full house at 393 Macaulay Rd – our first project to be delivered via the Assemble Model!

“The big differentiating factor in an Assemble building as opposed to a typical building is what we do in the spaces between the apartments” says Quino Holland, Design Director of Assemble.

We’re thrilled to announce zero stamp duty and First Home Owners Grant qualification for first home buyers under the Assemble Model.

Fieldwork has designed an eight-storey apartment building in the Melbourne suburb of Kensington, three kilometres from the CBD, that will be sold under a build-to-rent-to-buy scheme.

Assemble is leading the way in Melbourne’s move into community-led housing.
