Yarra's Edge Precinct
The Evolution of Yarra's Edge
Located in Melbourne’s Docklands, Yarra’s Edge is a 14.5-hectare development site consisting of predominately residential development, including some retail, showrooms and commercial offices on the site’s frontage to the Yarra River. Mirvac commenced works on the Yarra's Edge site in 1999, after signing the Precinct Development Agreement for $1bn in 1997. Made of four precincts, Marina, Park, River and Wharf’s Entrance, Yarra’s Edge will become home to around 3,000 residents once complete.
