After months behind scaffold, Lyons Place is finally out of hiding. With the internal scaffold now removed, the full street and courtyard elevations have come into view — revealing the textured, layered form shaped by Chamberlain Architects.

Delivered for Hygge Property, Lyons Place rises seven storeys in the heart of Ballarat Central, making it the city’s tallest residential build. Now visible in full, the development brings together 51 apartments, 7 penthouses, and 2 townhomes — all anchored around a central courtyard designed by Phillip Withers.

The site reads as one connected system, with residences linked across levels and shared space. It’s a carefully choreographed build that balances urban density with liveability and identity.

External works are tracking well, while internals continue to progress with lining, joinery, and finishes now underway. On the corner, the heritage church is taking shape — its original façade retained and propped, with new structure rising behind. Once complete, it will house the retail tenancy shell, creating space for services that support the local community.

At the heart of the site, the courtyard is structurally in — ready to soften the geometry, ground the development, and invite connection between residents.

Sustainability here is built into the bones — not just the spec sheet.

Lyons Place reflects what intentional, place-led growth looks like for Ballarat. With scaffold down, our focus now turns to delivering the homes, shaping the shared spaces, and bringing the full potential of this community to life.

We're proud to be leading its delivery — and proud of what it represents for the future of regional living.
