Plans are now before the City of Merribek for a 10-storey residential tower in Melbourne’s inner north.
Brunswick Land Holding has filed the plans for a 175sq m site at 241-245 Brunswick Road, Brunswick, 5.5km north of the CBD.
The tower would comprise 57 apartments and offer rooftop amenities as well as retail space on the ground floor.
There would be two basement levels with 49 carparking spaces and 73 bicycle storage spaces.
The company’s director is listed as Hui Li, according to ASIC records. ASIC records also list the address for Brunswick Land Holding as that of accountancy firm Grant Thornton.
Title documents submitted to the council show that Hui Li has entered into a purchase contract with the current owners of the site, Treadwell Nominees and Maleny Nominees.
Both companies list a sole director and shareholder, Eric Engel, ASIC records show.
The building has an estimated cost to developer of $20 million, according to submitted documents.
A metal recycler on the site would be demolished under the plans designed by Cera Stribley Architects.
The site is near the Jewell train station as well as bus and tram stops.
Brunswick remains popular for developers although sites are hard to come by with developers including Beulah keen to make their mark in the suburb.
