UEM Sunrise Acquires Prime Development Site In Collingwood, Melbourne

The 5,390 square metre inner east site was purchased from Jowett Properties and will be transformed into a mixed-use development by UEM Sunrise.

UEM Sunrise Managing Director and CEO, Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib, said the company was thrilled to secure the sought-after site and embark on its next project in the Australian market.

“Following the success of our Aurora Melbourne Central and Conservatory projects, the acquisition of the landmark Collingwood site signals a new chapter in Melbourne for UEM Sunrise and continues our active presence in the Australian market.

“There’s no doubt that Collingwood has evolved into a go-to residential and commercial precinct, thanks to its close proximity to the CBD, vibrant café culture and wonderful sense of community,” said Anwar.

The new site forms part of a broader expansion strategy for UEM Sunrise, Anwar also noted.

“The Melbourne commercial and residential sector continue to remain strong despite challenges presented from the global COVID-19 pandemic, with the Victorian Government committed to ongoing development and approval of shovel-ready projects. We are optimistic when it comes to strategic and well-positioned opportunities,” said Anwar.

UEM Sunrise most recently successfully completed its AU$800 million flagship Australian project, Aurora Melbourne Central, located in the Melbourne CBD. The residential component of the project had strong sales success, with 95 per cent of stock selling out within two weeks of launch and 100 per cent of the project sold prior to completion. Aurora Melbourne Central also achieved a 98 per cent settlement rate for its residences to date.
