Multi-Unit Development Builders Melbourne
From investment properties to multi-generational living, we’ve got you covered.
Investment Through Subdivision
Building a multi-unit development is not as simple as drafting up some plans and putting them on whatever land you find, as multiple dwellings come with multiple considerations. At BP Building Concepts in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, we have the experience to ensure that your block’s potential is maximised and that your unique needs are met.
Whether you’re thinking about using your current property or are planning to buy one with the sole purpose of developing it, we are your ideal partner and will walk with you every step of the way.
What is a Multi-Unit Development?
A multi-unit development is when more than one dwelling is built on a single lot. Thanks to population growth and increased demand for urban living spaces in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, these sorts of projects have become highly profitable investments.
Property owners have many options: they can knock down the existing dwelling and start from scratch, develop empty land, or keep the existing dwelling and subdivide around it.
Different Types of Multi-Unit Development
There are several types of multi-unit developments, ensuring that the unique requirements of your block and your own specific needs can be met.
Subdivisions
This is when a block of land with an existing dwelling is split into two or more and additional dwellings are built, or when an existing dwelling is knocked down and two or more new dwellings, each with their own separate titles, are built.
Units
This is when separate detached dwellings (usually single-storey) are built, but they share a common driveway. Each dwelling generally has its own private courtyard or backyard space (and sometimes front yard, depending on the design of the site).
Townhouses
This is when separate detached dwellings (typically double-storey) are built, but they generally share a common driveway and other common spaces. They often share at least one common wall with the dwellings on either side.
Dual Occupancy/ Duplex
This is when a single structure is built that is divided by a common central wall to create two liveable residences. The residences can be beside each other, on an upper or lower level, or completely detached.
Apartments
This is when there are multiple units across multiple floors within a single building. They will often have various shared facilities for residents to access, such as parking garages, fitness centres, and swimming pools.

Why a Multi-Unit Development is a Good Fit
There are many reasons why a development might be a good fit for your current situation:
1. Profitable Investment
Whether you intend to rent out the additional dwellings or sell them, they can provide financial security. You could use this to pay off your own mortgage, as a retirement fund, or to bulk up your savings.
2. Family Affair
Many people view these developments as an opportunity to keep family close by but not under one roof. You could provide your children, parents, or grandparents with their own homes.
3. Capitalise on Property
Utilising your land to its full potential is a very smart decision for many people. If you have a large, empty, unused space on your block, it could be the key to living debt-free.
Your Multi-Unit Developments Questions Answered
How much does a multi-unit development cost?
It’s challenging to provide an exact figure, as the cost depends entirely on the specifics of your project (including how many units you wish to build, whether any demolition is required, site access, and so on). We will provide you with an accurate quote based on your unique requirements.
Can I build whatever sort of development I want?
Not always. A planning permit from the local council is always required for these sorts of projects, and this will often determine the sort of development that is possible. Restrictions posed by your site will also play a factor in what is possible. Please get in touch to discuss this further.
Multi-unit developments don’t seem very eco-friendly – is this true?
Not at all! In fact, we prioritise sustainability in these projects through the integration of green design elements, recommendation of energy-efficient systems, and utilisation of eco-friendly materials where possible to minimise the environmental impact of many people living together.
