AN INSPIRED MASTERPLAN
Signifying the rebirth of one of Melbourne’s most significant sites, Coburg Quarter is tapping into the area’s established character to create a much needed new urban hub. A multi-faceted masterplan has been designed with the community in mind. A European-style central square complemented by a new high street, offering an exciting range of restaurants, cafes, bars, retailers and public spaces will form the civic and cultural focal point. Respectful of the location’s heritage while embracing the needs of the future, Coburg Quarter is a long-awaited new direction for this irreplaceable site.
One Coburg Quarter
Heralding the beginning of new era, One Coburg Quarter is a gateway building, literally through a heritage bluestone wall, and figuratively as the cornerstone for transformation.
Proposed Residential
With the growing population and the evolving demographics, the vision for Coburg Quarter is to create a community that will cater for a young family, the downsizers or first home owners. There will be a mix of apartment and town homes. The diversity of product is key to delivering a successful mixed-use community full of charm and personality.
Restaurant, Beer Garden & Brewery
Coburg Quarter is transforming Pentridge Prison into a thriving cosmopolitan part of inner Melbourne, boasting amazing eateries, an artisian laneway, bustling high street, boutique micro-brewery and more.

Mixed-Use Community
Careful consideration has been given to housing affordability, liveability and aesthetic design, not only within the immediate context of Moreland and surrounding northern suburbs, but also giving consideration to Melbourne’s diverse apartment offerings. The careful and strategic delivery of circa 1600 – 1800 apartments provides the base to allow this master planned community to grow naturally.
