ALTA Property has received planning approval for a $200 million adaptive re-use project at 10 Queens Road, Melbourne, transforming a former commercial tower into 169 apartments.

Designed by Fraser & Partners, the renewed building will offer a mix of one, two and three-bedroom residences, with ground-floor amenity including private dining, a lounge bar, gym and wellness spaces, co-working areas, outdoor communal gardens and retail.

The adaptive re-use approach gives the Queens Road project a sustainability-led foundation, retaining the existing 17-storey building’s shell and internal structure to reduce carbon emissions by 62 per cent compared with demolition and rebuild.

Nigel Givoni founded ALTA Property in 2023, bringing more than 25 years of experience in multi-level residential delivery. He said the Queens Road project offered an opportunity for the developer to further establish its presence in the Melbourne market.

“With a considered project team and a premier site along one of the city’s most sought-after boulevards, we look forward to contributing to the fabric of this established address,” said Givoni.

“Other Australian markets are getting a lot of attention, but I believe the depth of value in Melbourne is being overlooked. The fundamentals are strong, population growth is steady and, based on our preliminary conversations with a leading builder, construction costs are beginning to normalise, creating further opportunity.”

For Fraser & Partners director Callum Fraser, the existing structure on site represented an opportunity to create a new landmark for the sought-after boulevard.

“The design approach to 10 Queens Road is defined by the existing building’s inherent logic, structural clarity and adaptable framework. The existing building’s disciplined rectangular floor plate, centric core and evenly spaced columns create an ideal foundation for elevating the design by applying a limited material palette of muted tones, which clearly distinguish the existing structure from the proposed addition, avoiding contrast,” he said.

“Architecture is grounded in the expression of the existing building – clarity, proportion and measure come together to create a new rhythm across the residences, communal spaces and amenities. Interiors feel calm, grounded and refined, with raw concrete balanced by warm, natural materials to soften interiors and create inviting spaces.”
