IJF Australia is proud to announce the award of the joinery works contract for Samma Place, working in partnership with Hacer Group on this significant residential community development in Ivanhoe, in Melbourne’s north east.

Developed by Samma Property Group and Assemble, Samma Place demonstrates how quality architecture can shape thriving communities. Building on the completed first stage, Stage 2 will deliver 435 new apartments across three towers as a professionally managed build-to-rent community, continuing the broader vision for a contemporary urban village in Melbourne’s north east.

The architecture is by Peddle Thorp Architects Melbourne, whose design pairs residential apartments with communal facilities, landscaped open spaces and lively street-level areas, forming a well-connected and thoughtfully planned neighbourhood. Over 300 of the apartments will be offered as affordable housing, backed by Housing Australia, helping to meet Melbourne’s need for more homes.

The IJF Australia team is delighted to be working with Hacer Group and looks forward to contributing our expertise in joinery to the successful delivery of this important project.

Construction is already underway, with IJF Australia scheduled to commence onsite works in March 2027, and completion of the project expected in mid-2028.

We look forward to collaborating with the Hacer team and project partners to deliver a high-quality outcome that will make a meaningful contribution to Melbourne’s housing landscape.
