Boiler House
Ground Breaking Ceremony
The ceremonial turning of the sod at Boiler House, YarraBend marked an exciting milestone, celebrating not only the start of construction but the careful preservation of the site’s industrial heritage. Attended by development partner Glenvill Developments, architect Fraser & Partners, and builder Ironside, the event highlighted a shared commitment to honouring the past while shaping the future of the precinct.
Central to the vision for Boiler House, as conceived by Fraser & Partners, is the retention and restoration of its distinctive red brick façade, complete with the iconic APM motif and striking conical chimney—elements that anchor the building’s historic identity. These features will be thoughtfully integrated into the new design, ensuring the character and craftsmanship of the original structure continue to define the development.
Set within the evolving YarraBend community, Boiler House represents a unique blend of heritage and contemporary living. The collaboration between Glenvill Developments, Fraser & Partners, and Ironside underscores a shared dedication to delivering homes of enduring quality, while preserving the architectural stories that make this precinct so distinctive. As construction begins, Boiler House stands as a powerful symbol of YarraBend’s transformation—where history is not only remembered, but reimagined for a new generation.
