Essendon Fields by Essendon Fields has won the Urban Renewal Award in the UDIA Wingate National Awards for Excellence.  

A strategically located property that had its 99 year lease granted in 2001, has since been transformed from a run-down neglected aviation facility into what is now a vibrant commercial hub known as “Melbourne’s place for business”.

The diversity of development delivered is impressive and includes a blend of offices, supermarkets, a luxury hotel and events centre, retail, medical centre, car dealerships, DFO and Homemakers hub.

The new facilities have been delivered with an emphasis on quality architecture and underpinned by infrastructure upgrades and highly detailed landscaping treatments throughout. 

Congratulations Essendon Fields!

Here's what the Judges had to say: 

"Further evident was the emphasis on retaining the site’s heritage that has led to the systematic conversion of existing buildings into new up-to-date compliant office accommodation."

"The outcome of the redevelopment only 10kms from Melbourne’s CBD has been a significant impact on development and economic activity within the local region."

Essendon Fields response:

"Thank you to the UDIA for presenting us with this wonderful accolade and congratulations to the winners in the other categories," they said.

"We’d also like to acknowledge everyone that helped make this win possible including Government, banks, contractors, consultants, customers, our owners, and our team.

"Without their commitment and support we would not be the proud recipients of this award."
