Located on the former City West Water office and depot, development Victoria is unlocking the underutilised land which will deliver approximately 300 townhouses when complete.

The first stage of LUMA has delivered 86 townhouses consisting of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms to accommodate a range of households and budgets.

Melbourne based SAW Constructions is delivering the first two stages of the development, with construction on 85 homes in Stage 2 well underway.

Stage 2 homes will be 'all-electric' with sustainable features, including solar PV, double glazed or laminated windows, and heat pumps, achieving a minimum 7-star energy rating improving energy efficiency and savings for residents

Homes at LUMA also only require a 5% deposit (2.5% upfront and 2.5% after six months) with no progress payments during construction – improving affordability and access to a broad range of purchasers.
