Montsalvat Multi-Residential Designs

This social housing multi-residential project consists of 35 dwellings which are a welcome addition to the area.

An initiative by Housing Choices Australia.

Located just five minutes from the Mandurah foreshore, this 35-dwelling development delivers high- quality social and affordable housing through a thoughtfully designed mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses arranged around a generous landscaped central courtyard.

Developed with a build to rent tenure, the project emphasises low-maintenance, durable architecture that supports resident wellbeing through safe, adaptable, and universally accessible living environments.

Delivered by Housing Choices Australia with funding from the Department of Communities’ Community Housing Grants Program, the project is strategically located near essential services and public transport.

Affordability and sustainability were central to the design approach, with a focus on reducing ongoing maintenance and operational costs, including tenant rents. The use of passive solar design, robust materials, and active environmental systems such as a shared battery and photovoltaic (PV) array ensures long-term efficiency and resilience.
