Living Carlton

Living Carlton is a master planned, environmentally sustainable development, delivering integrated social and private housing, in conjunction with new public parks, a community garden and pedestrian and bicycle pathways.

The Living Carlton Consortium, comprising Citta Property Group and Australand (now known as Frasers Property Australia), was selected by the Director of Housing in 2009 as the successful applicant to develop the 3 inner city sites in Carlton, covering an area of 7.5 hectares. The redevelopment has been carried out in collaboration with the State under a Development Agreement structure that has delivered significant upside to the State.

Progressively developed across 9 stages, between 2009 and 2024, the development has delivered a total of 246 social housing apartments and 847 private apartments, a 160 bed aged care facility and approximately 180 independent living units with a total end value of $500 million.

Jackson Architecture was engaged as master plan design architect and coordinating architect, with a team of architectural practices responsible for the design of individual buildings. This approach has produced outstanding design quality, diversity in urban planning and architectural form, and innovation in housing typology and sustainability measures.

Citta Property Group teamed with Frasers Property Australia to provide the key management resources to undertake the development.
