Developer Files Mixed-Use Project Plans for Caulfield

Melbourne builder and developer Robert Feldman has filed plans for a mixed-use project in one of the Victorian capital’s key middle-ring suburbs.

Feldman has filed the project plans for a four-storey mixed-use block with the City of Glen Eira council.

Documents submitted list an entity, Skylife Group Pty Ltd ,as the permit applicant for the 494sq m site at 226 Hawthorn Road, Caulfield North.

That company is not conected to Sydney-based Skylife Pty Ltd that is partnered in a joint venture with developer Time and Place on the Hotel Lindrum project in Melbourne’s CBD. 

Metaxas Architects designed the plans for the Caulfield North project.

A three-storey podium is planned as part of the project plus a rooftop garden.

The existing building on the site would be demolished.

There would be 11 apartments—10 two-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom apartment—and 66sq m of ground-floor office space under the plans. 

It would have 14 carparking spaces and four bicycle spaces due to a request for a reduction in the required number of carparking spaces as part of the application. 

A basement level towards the rear of the site would have storage cages, services and help to accommodate the car stacker accessible from the ground floor.

The ground floor would also have a small landscaped area towards the rear of the site.

Feldman told The Urban Developer that he expected sales to be $12 millon to $14 million for the project once completed. 

He has also completed work on another project; the Barkly Street Theatre at Footscray through another entity. 

“We work on medium to high-end projects,” Feldman said. 

“And we only work in Melbourne.”

Once the plans have been through the exhibition phase of the planning process, the council or its planning committee will decide on its approval.
