20 James St, Box Hill is a 7 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 4 parking spaces. The property has a land size of 1351m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in August 2020.
A landmark opportunity in the heart of Melbourne's most significant growth corridor. Offered together for the first time, 20-22 James Street comprise two adjoining titles delivering a rare consolidated landholding of approximately 1,351m with a substantial 30.6-metre frontage - an efficient, regular footprint of the kind seldom offered to the market.
Positioned within the newly gazetted Box Hill Structure Plan Area (Amendment C255whse, in force July 2026), the property is now zoned Precinct Zone (PRZ) and sits within the Residential Neighbourhoods built form area, carrying a preferred maximum building height of 21 metres (5-6 storeys). This establishes a clear low-rise apartment redevelopment pathway (STCA), with previous neighbourhood character, activity centre and landscape overlays no longer applying - offering buyers a defined framework and genuine certainty of vision.
All of this on the doorstep of the Suburban Rail Loop, with the future Box Hill underground station, the Box Hill Metropolitan Activity Centre, Box Hill Gardens, quality schools, and a world-class dining and retail precinct all within easy reach.
Whether you're a developer seeking a shovel-ready amalgamated site, an investor with a long-term land-banking strategy, or a builder ready to capitalise on Box Hill's transformation, this is a foundation holding in a precinct set to reshape Melbourne's east.
