Overview

Opportunities of this calibre don't come twice in the same postcode

20 and 22 James Street offer a unique opportunity with a consolidated landholding of 1,351 square meters, comprising two adjoining lots: No. 20 with 676 square meters and No. 22 with 675 square meters. This combined property boasts an impressive 30.6-metre street frontage, situated in one of Melbourne's most dynamic eastern growth corridors.

The site is zoned Residential Growth Zone Schedule 1 (RGZ1), allowing for a baseline development height of four storeys. With Box Hill established as a key Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) Activity Centre, this location presents significant potential for future development and value uplift as precinct planning evolves.

For developers and investors, this wide RGZ1-zoned site near Box Hill's core is a rare find. The consolidated nature of the holding removes the complexities and costs associated with piecemeal acquisition. The SRL activity centre designation positions this property at the forefront of Melbourne's eastern growth over the next decade.

For families and homebuilders, there is the option to purchase either lot individually and create a custom home. Each allotment offers a generous footprint with a north-facing backyard, a highly desirable feature in this area of Melbourne. The property is also located within the catchment for Box Hill High School, one of Victoria's most sought-after state schools.

The location is highly convenient, with a range of amenities within walking distance:

  • 5 minutes walk to Box Hill Central and market
  • 5 minutes walk to Box Hill Station, serviced by Belgrave and Lilydale train lines and trams
  • 7 minutes walk to Box Hill Hospital and medical precinct
  • 8 minutes walk to Box Hill High School
  • 25 minutes by train to Melbourne CBD

The properties are available for purchase either together as a combined development site or separately as individual lots, providing flexibility for buyers.

This offering represents a significant opportunity to secure a substantial landholding in a prime location with excellent development potential and lifestyle benefits.
