Bradmill, Yarraville — Construction Update: Stage 1 Takes Shape

Construction continues to advance across the Bradmill precinct in Yarraville, with Stage 1 entering its final phase.

Delivered by Figurehead for Frasers Property Australia and Irongate, Bradmill is now visibly transitioning from construction site to neighbourhood. With scaffolding removed across multiple fronts and internal works progressing steadily, the former industrial landmark is beginning to take on its next form.

Stage 1A is in final works. Occupancy Permits have been issued for the first ten dwellings (Lots 101–110), with defect rectification now active. Townhomes in Type D and Type C are also well into fit-off, pacing toward Practical Completion in mid-August.

In Stage 1B, fit-off is now underway for Type E — the final typology in the construction sequence. Carpet installation is progressing across dwellings, while scaffolding has recently come down on the J4s. With external detailing now active, the buildings’ architectural intent — scale, proportion, material — is fully visible for the first time.

Across the broader site, external works are advancing. Irrigation is complete, surface treatments are progressing, and landscaping is scheduled to commence shortly.

As construction nears completion, Bradmill is beginning to register less as a staged delivery and more as a cohesive urban environment. Designed by Rothelowman, the architectural language — once abstract — is now clearly articulated across six residential typologies. What were once isolated stages now read together, forming a connected precinct.

Stage 1 is now completely sold.
Roads are in. Setbacks resolved. And the warehouse logic of the former denim mill — its grid, its proportions, its material rhythm — now informs what’s being built. This is not a reinvention of the site, but a continuation of its industrial narrative into a new civic future.
