Begin a ConversationMulti-Unit Developments
More than a development.
A better outcome for your site.
Multi-unit development in Glen Waverley requires more than construction expertise. Success depends on understanding planning controls, site constraints, engineering requirements, construction methodology and project feasibility from the outset.
With more than 50 years of building experience, Varcon delivers dual occupancy, townhouse and multi-dwelling developments that balance commercial outcomes with quality design and construction.
Development Types
Built for every
development scenario.
Dual Occupancy
Two separate dwellings on a single title, each with its own character, thoughtfully designed to sit comfortably together. Ideal for homeowners looking to unlock the value of their land, accommodate extended family or create an additional income stream.
Townhouse Developments
Three to eight townhouses, individually crafted with shared design language. We manage staging, materials procurement, and the trade scheduling complexity that multi-unit builds demand, without sacrificing the finish quality of any single dwelling.
Site Subdivision & Build
Where the land permits subdivision, Varcon can manage or advise on the entire process, from feasibility and surveying through to individual lot construction. We coordinate with your town planner and ensure the development is delivered as a coherent, quality project.
Our Approach
Why developers choose
Varcon for their projects.
01
One Builder, End to End
Design, approvals, demolition, construction, certification. Managed by one team with one point of contact. No handoffs. No gaps in accountability between consultants and builders.
02
Architectural Thinking. Practical Outcomes.
We don't treat multi-unit work as a lower-quality proposition. Each dwelling is designed to stand independently as a considered home, not simply a unit in a development.
03
Council & Planning Experience
Building across Melbourne's local government areas for decades means we understand what councils want to see, and how to get a development approved without extended delays.
04
Value Management
Working collaboratively with clients and consultants, we explore practical alternatives that improve value while respecting the overall design vision.
Case Study, Maidstone
A site made to work harder.
This Maidstone development demonstrates what thoughtful site planning can achieve. The brief called for multiple dwellings that felt distinct and considered, not a repetition of the same plan across a block. The result is a collection of homes that read as an architectural project, not a volume development.
Shared boundary conditions, setback constraints, and local planning requirements were all resolved in documentation before construction began, keeping the program on schedule and the budget on target.
Interior Resolution
Each dwelling its own
complete home.
In multi-unit developments, interiors can become an afterthought. At Varcon, each dwelling receives the same interior design rigour as a standalone custom home. Kitchen cabinetry, bathroom tiling, lighting, and storage are all resolved as part of the design process, not selected from a builder's supply list at the last moment.
The result is development stock that holds its value and attracts buyers who appreciate quality. That's a better investment.
This Maidstone development demonstrates the value of thoughtful site planning and disciplined project delivery. The objective was to maximise the site’s potential while ensuring each dwelling felt like a genuine home rather than a repeated design.
The result is a development that balances density, liveability and architectural quality while responding carefully to local planning requirements.

Glen Waverley is the eastern suburbs' premier activity centre, a Monash suburb built around The Glen shopping centre, a high-performing school zone anchored by Glen Waverley Secondary College, and a dense residential community that has made it one of Melbourne's most consistently popular family destinations. Blocks run 600–800 m² across well-established residential streets, and the suburb's strong Asian-Australian community has brought exceptional food culture, educational intensity and community investment. For Varcon, Glen Waverley projects tend to prioritise function, quality and longevity.

Planning & Permits in Glen Waverley
Monash City Council applies General Residential Zone provisions across most of Glen Waverley, with Neighbourhood Residential Zone limiting density on some quieter residential streets. The council's neighbourhood character policies require new builds to respond to the established residential scale, building heights, street setbacks and landscaping are key review criteria. Heritage overlay coverage is minimal, keeping the planning pathway straightforward for most sites. Monash City Council planning information.
Lifestyle & Community
The Glen shopping centre is a major retail and entertainment destination. Brandon Park Secondary College and Highvale Secondary College add to the suburb's strong educational credentials. The Glen Waverley train line delivers direct CBD services in under 35 minutes, and Jells Park's lake and trail network provides exceptional recreational infrastructure nearby.
