Limited public information is available on additional large-scale projects meeting the criteria for announced, under-construction, or recently completed (last 3 years) verifiable developments specifically in Melbourne proper. Smaller or ongoing home communities (e.g., Kendall Pointe by Ryan Homes) exist but are not detailed as distinct major projects here. West Melbourne and Viera-area developments were excluded as they fall outside the core city of Melbourne.
