Above Zero’s 12-Storey Tower Greenlit for Camberwell

Cera Stribley Architects' design for Above Zero's mixed-use project at 697-699 Burke Road in Melbourne's Camberwell.

In its biggest project approval for more than a decade, the City of Boroondara Council in Melbourne’s east has greenlit a 12-storey tower at Camberwell.

Developer Above Zero’s mixed-use tower slated for 697 and 699 Burke Road comprises 36 apartments as well as retail and office space—it will have 796sq m of retail space on the ground floor and five of the 12 floors are earmarked for office.

There have been previous unsuccessful attempts to redevelop 699 Burke Road before Above Zero acquired the site in 2022. 

They include a scheme by developer Royal Fund for a residential 12-storey project with 53 apartments on the site, to be called Bijou, filed in May, 2023.

Approval for the current development has been hard won with the council initially concerned about visibility and vehicle access for the office tenancies when the plans were first lodged in March, 2024. 

Above Zero's mixed-use project is the biggest project the City of Boroondara has granted approval for in more than a decade.

Above Zero and the architects, Cera Stribley, then modified the design, dropping the 13th storey, increasing carparking spaces from 180 to 214 and ensuring that visibility concerns were addressed.  

The site is in the middle of Camberwell Junction and close to transport.
