ESCAPE ORDINARY. ESCAPE TO PENTRIDGE Pentridge is unique. Built on solid bluestone, its foundations are firmly rooted in Melbourne’s history. New and historical architecture will sit side by side. The heart of Coburg will be reborn and transformed into a vital community hub of creativity, retail and commerce interlinked with residential opportunities.
The vision for Pentridge is to create a vibrant, well-designed urban village that invigorates an important historical asset, transforming it into a new community hub complete with housing, retail, community areas and public open spaces.
The site is perfectly located to become the new heart of Coburg: a centre that will enhance the overall livability of the area by providing opportunities for integrated residential, commercial, food, leisure and retail offerings.
Preserving the site’s historic integrity, such as the famous bluestone walls, will be a priority. Thoughtful design and high quality construction will seamlessly integrate new buildings with existing heritage assets.
