2/21-25 Buckingham Street, Footscray, Vic 3011

Giving 'the local' a whole new meaning

Nestled in the heart of Footscray, on the crossroad of Buckingham and Ann Streets, stands an iconic Aussie pub: The Buckingham Hotel. Known fondly as 'The Buck', the former Footscray watering hole will soon become even more 'local' to those lucky enough to call it home.

Rich in community history, the 1425sqm site will be transformed into 22 stylish townhouse apartments, with the two storey Edwardian facade retained and incorporating four of the homes as part of its thoughtful design. Where once its redbrick walls welcomed locals inside for after-work drinks and counter meals, the chic new development will embrace first-home buyers, young families and those looking to downsize without comprising on location and quality.
