New community a stand-out for buyers

May 2011

Victoria’s new land developers have raised the bar in recent years, recognising that purchasers are seeking more than simply a block of land, but the opportunity to buy in a new community that boasts access to ample amenities and infrastructure which can support a growing family.

The developers of Melbourne’s popular northern growth corridor estate, ‘Mandalay at Beveridge’, have identified this growing market demand and responded by creating a master-planned community that has something for everyone.

Once complete Mandalay will house over 6000 new residents, so according to the developers, providing access to important facilities now and into the future is vital in order to ensure the region’s continuing growth.

Due to this forward-thinking, residents at Mandalay will enjoy the convenience of a proposed on-site primary school, a commercial precinct and a ‘Club Mandalay’ recreation centre; featuring a gymnasium, swimming pool, tennis courts, café, bistro and more.

All of these new facilities will be positioned around the estate’s crowning glory, an architecturally designed, Thomson-Perrett 18-hole golf course that will meander throughout the master-plan.

Located just 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD via the Hume Highway, Mandalay is particularly appealing to a growing number of purchasers who want to escape the city rat-race without forgoing access to first-class infrastructure.

And with allotments priced from just $176,000 for a 425sqm block and sizes ranging upwards of 675sqm, Mandalay’s affordability is well within reach.

Mandalay’s development manager, Rod Binedell said consumers are increasingly seeking to invest their future into estates which are well planned-out with plenty of services in place to support the community.

“ Buyers’ expectations of new communities have changed in recent years, and it’s no longer desirable to purchase a home-site that has no foreseeable access to future community services.

“ Purchasers want the assurance that they will be provided with parks, walking tracks and other facilities which help to create a sustainable community in the long term.

“ At Mandalay we have raised the bar by making sure our residents will be well-equipped now and into the future.

“ Not only will Mandalay feature an 18-hole, architecturally designed golf course, but a total of 40 percent of the master-plan will be dedicated to green-space, parks and community gardens.

“ Mandalay’s long list of facilities and benefits ensure the development is not only accessible, but also livable, in every sense of the word.

“ Purchasers have indicated that they are re-evaluating their priorities, and market trends indicate that buyers are trading in their cramped confines of inner-suburbia for the large and affordable home-sites in Melbourne’s thriving growth corridors.

“ Mandalay is perfectly positioned to accommodate this demographic and many purchasers feel they can have the best of both worlds here,” he said.

Mandalay has just released stage 15, featuring a range of quality allotments sized from 425sqm to 675sqm and including a selection of exclusive golf-fronting blocks.
