Off the PlanIllustrationArmadale's pipeline is measured in dozens of homes, not hundreds. H.Co Property won approval in March 2024 for 26 apartments behind retained Edwardian shopfronts at 935 and 941 to 951 High Street, designed by Cera Stribley with landscaping by Acre, while smaller approvals sit at 969 to 975 High Street and 1087 to 1095 High Street. Six storey heights and heritage overlays keep each release small.
Armadale takes its name from a village in Sutherland, Scotland, the birthplace of James Munro, Victoria's fifteenth Premier, who raised the Italianate mansion Armadale House here in 1876. The railway arrived on 7 May 1879, the post office opened on High Street in 1884, and Kings Arcade followed in 1893. Gothic Revival classrooms went up on Densham Road between 1886 and 1889, and the Victorian street grid set down then still shapes the suburb.
Character here runs quieter than the Chapel Street precincts next door. High Street trades in antiques, interiors, bridal and designer fashion, and the side streets hold Victorian and Edwardian housing under Stonnington heritage overlays. The 2021 Census counted 9,368 residents at a median age of 38, with 55.6 percent holding a bachelor degree or higher. Toorak Park, Victory Square Reserve and Union Street Gardens supply the green.
The apartment picture today is boutique by design. Bensons Property Group is building the twenty residence Society Armadale on Wattletree Road, Urban DC has the Woods Bagot designed Heirloom rising on High Street, and CAPAX Group is finishing eight pavilion style homes at Wattletree Pavilion. Recent completions include The Carlile, Couture Armadale and Chapter Group's Monument. Heritage controls keep buildings low, so releases stay small and tightly held.
Armadale sits about seven kilometres south east of the Melbourne CBD in the City of Stonnington, bounded by Orrong Road to the west, Glenferrie Road to the east, Malvern Road to the north and Dandenong Road to the south.
The 2021 Census counted 9,368 residents in Armadale at a median age of 38, with 55.6 percent of people aged 15 and over holding a bachelor degree or higher.
Flats and apartments made up 57.5 percent of Armadale's occupied private dwellings at the 2021 Census, ahead of separate houses at 25.4 percent, across 5,401 private dwellings in total.
At the 2021 Census 44.7 percent of Armadale households were renting, 29.5 percent owned outright and 23.1 percent held a mortgage, against a median weekly household income of $2,193.
High Street is the suburb's retail spine, known across Melbourne for antiques, interiors, bridal and designer fashion, with the 1893 Kings Arcade as its landmark building.
The suburb was named after Armadale in Sutherland, Scotland, the birthplace of James Munro, Victoria's fifteenth Premier, who built the Italianate mansion Armadale House here in 1876.
Armadale rents well for its size. The 2021 ABS Census put 44.7 percent of households in rented dwellings against a median weekly rent of $421 at that date. CoreLogic figures published by Your Investment Property Magazine list median unit rent at $625 a week for the 12 months to April 2026, giving a gross unit yield of 4.41 percent, while Domain lists two bedroom units nearer $800 a week.
Short stay demand in Armadale leans on High Street shopping, visitors to Lauriston and The King David School, and the sporting calendar at Toorak Park, rather than tourist volume. Owners corporation rules and City of Stonnington planning requirements govern short stay letting in apartment buildings, so check the rules and any planning conditions for a specific building before you count on that income.
