Project Description
660 Elizabeth St. is a new 10 level apartment building located in the heart of Melbourne. It is beautifully designed, provides high quality living spaces, has spectacular views and reflects current best practice in terms of environmental sustainability.
It provides much needed affordable rental housing for a mix of singles and families on low and moderate incomes. What makes this project particularly special is that it also aims to create a welcoming and supportive place for Victorians who have experienced long periods of homelessness.
Yarra Community Housing’s vision for 660 Elizabeth St. is to not only be a stunning new inner city apartment building, but to be a vibrant and exciting place where people from a diverse range of backgrounds can create a sense of home and community; and be inspired to realise their own hopes and dreams.
