As we move through Autumn 2026, Melbourne’s apartment market is showing clear signs of renewed strength. A sustained lack of new supply, coupled with increasing population growth and buyer demand, is placing upward pressure on values—particularly for well-located, thoughtfully designed developments. 

Recent Australian Federal Budget announcements have also provided renewed confidence across the off the plan apartment and townhouse market, with continued support for property investment settings including the retention of negative gearing and Capital Gains Tax concessions helping reinforce long-term buyer and investor confidence.

At DealCorp, this shift reinforces our long-held focus on quality, liveability and enduring value. We continue to seek sites in high growth areas and look at feasibilities in detail, trying to provide value and an entry point into tightly held established markets. The Melbourne property market is entering a new era where owner-occupier expectations are shaping outcomes—driving higher standards in design, amenity and finish. This evolution has already seen pricing adjust to reflect the elevated level of product being delivered.

We’re proud to celebrate the completion of Nova, our heritage apartment project – the ninth stage of Polaris 3083, which has set a benchmark for blending character, craftsmanship and modern living. Strong buyer interest and positive feedback have reaffirmed the demand for residences with authenticity and architectural integrity. We have one final tri-level apartment remaining for sale.

Looking ahead, we’re pleased to announce that the permit has been secured for the next stage of Polaris 3083. This milestone ensures we can continue delivering much-needed housing in a tightly held market, while maintaining our commitment to creating vibrant, connected communities.

With supply constraints expected to persist, government policy providing greater certainty, and demand continuing to build, we remain confident in the resilience and long-term value of Melbourne’s apartment and townhouse market—and in our role in shaping its future.
