You have your own house with this type of property and get to make extra money by renting out the other portion. If you own another house, you may rent both units and create additional monthly income.
A duplex design will be a backup residence for you and your family in emergencies. Not only that, but you may always move to the next house temporarily if renovations of any type require you to leave your current one.
Creating a dual-living home requires a large amount of capital, but since you are making two residences under one roof, you can generate extra monthly income to help you pay off your debt more rapidly.
A well-designed multi-unit property allows homeowners and investors to secure a consistent revenue stream by renting out individual units.
Multi-unit developments maximize the potential of your land, especially in high-demand areas like Doncaster, Templestowe, and Greater Melbourne.
Each unit within a multi-unit development is designed to provide separate living spaces, ensuring enhanced privacy and independence for residents.

A multi-unit development refers to a property that includes two or more separate dwellings on the same land title. These homes can be duplexes, townhouses, apartments, or triplexes and are designed to maximize land use. Each unit is independent, meaning residents have their own entrances, living areas, and amenities, making it a great choice for rental income or extended family living.
Each local council in Melbourne has specific rules regarding multi-unit developments, including:
- Zoning restrictions (determining what type of dwellings can be built).
- Setback and height limits to ensure properties meet neighborhood aesthetics.
- Car parking and access requirements for multiple dwellings.
- Energy efficiency regulations, ensuring sustainable building practices.
- We handle all the council applications and approvals to ensure your project complies with regulations.
Building a multi-unit property is a smart financial move because:
- It allows you to earn rental income from multiple tenants.
- It increases your property value and land efficiency.
- You can live in one unit while renting out others, reducing mortgage costs.
- It’s an in-demand housing option in Melbourne’s growing real estate market.
Whether you’re an investor or a homeowner looking for long-term financial security, multi-unit developments offer excellent returns.
The timeline for building a multi-unit development varies based on size and complexity:
- Design and planning: 4-6 months (including council approvals).
- Construction phase: 9-15 months, depending on project scale.
- Final inspections and compliance checks: 1-2 months.
- From concept to completion, we provide realistic project timelines and keep you updated throughout.
Yes! Subdividing your property allows you to sell each unit separately or rent them individually. The process includes:
- Surveying the land to determine subdivision potential.
- Applying for subdivision permits from the local council.
- Updating property titles to reflect new lot divisions.
- We assist in managing the entire subdivision process, ensuring legal compliance and efficiency.
- The best type of multi-unit property depends on your land size, budget, and investment goals:
- Duplex or Dual Occupancy – Great for first-time investors, offering two separate homes on one lot.
- Triplex or Townhouses – Ideal for medium-sized blocks, maximizing returns without excessive costs.
- Low-Rise Apartments – Suitable for larger blocks in high-density areas, providing high rental yields.
We analyze your land and recommend the best development strategy to maximize profitability.
Yes, a town planner ensures your project meets Melbourne’s zoning, height, and density requirements.
- They assist in lodging applications and securing permits.
- They navigate planning challenges and minimize approval delays.
- They optimize design layouts to improve space utilization.
We work with trusted town planners to handle all planning and compliance requirements.
Building multiple dwellings requires strong financial planning. Common funding options include:
- Construction Loans – Released in stages as the project progresses.
- Development Finance – Ideal for large-scale projects with multiple investors.
- Equity Release – Using your existing property as collateral for financing.
We can connect you with property finance experts to help secure the best funding for your project.
Selecting the right builder is crucial to ensuring your project is successful and stress-free. Consider:
- Experience in multi-unit projects – Ensure they have completed similar builds.
- A strong reputation and client testimonials – Check online reviews and past work.
- Transparent pricing and detailed contracts – Avoid hidden costs or vague agreements.
- Project management expertise – A reliable builder will coordinate trades, suppliers, and approvals seamlessly.
