PROJECT WIN | Kapitol is pleased to announce our first project with market leaders in first-class student housing, Scape Australia.
130 Leicester Street in Carlton will accommodate more than 300 premium student housing units over 15-levels, along with a selection of sophisticated communal amenities including kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, breakout spaces, and landscaped areas to foster greater community engagement with the building.
The project will result in improvement to the local urban context by activating the ground floor, and also giving space back to the local community through the use of the public laneway from Leicester Street to the lanes at the rear.
This project provides another great student living option alongside other fantastic Scape offerings in the heart of the university precinct in Melbourne. Once delivered it will provide premium and sophisticated amenities to residents while they attend tertiary education away from home.
The project will commence soon and is due for completion in the first quarter of 2024.
