The Author Townhomes in Box Hill South by G3 Projects will have multigenerational living arrangements in most of the properties.


A development to write home about is coming to Box Hill South, featuring a large precinct set to embrace multigenerational living.

In an area better known for high-rise apartment towers, the almost 1.3ha Author Townhomes development will have 10 houses and 43 townhouses.

The project will replace a former independent living community for the retired on Station Street.

But older residents will still be welcome, and catered for, with the 37 four-bedroom homes set to contain a secondary main bedroom on the ground floor.

G3 Projects managing director Bobby Lim said the ground-floor space could also double as a playroom.

“We are expecting a lot of Chinese interest, as well as local buyers,” he said.

Greenery surrounding the homes will be on show from inside via extensive glazing.


Townhouse floorplans start at 148sq m, while some houses will have close to 300sq m of interior space.

Four-bedroom properties will have a double garage, while the 16 three-bedroom offerings will have a second parking space in their driveway.

Open-plan living zones and courtyard gardens will feature in all homes, as will engineered timber floors and polished stone surfaces. Kitchens will showcase waterfall-edge island benches and 900mm cooktops.

A study or multipurpose room can also be added to layouts.

A landscaped communal area at the centre of the development will include lawns, barbecues and dining spaces.

The development will be officially launched with the advent of Chinese New Year next week. An event planned at the development’s 325 Station Street display will give the first 10 buyers free upgrades to their homes.

Mr Lim said they were aiming to start construction in the third quarter of this year and finish in 2023.
