Cedar Woods breaks ground for newest strata office Hudson Hub in Melbourne’s West

ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods Properties has officially broken ground for its sixth
stand-alone office building at Williams Landing, Hudson Hub, situated in Melbourne’s west.
Construction commenced this month with the appointment of Hacer Group, continuing the
long-standing relationship between Cedar Woods and the builder, which has been welcomed by
Cedar Woods’ Victorian State Manager, James Bovell.

“We are delighted to once again partner with Hacer Group for the construction of Hudson Hub.
Having worked with them on a number of projects previously, we have seen their experience,
expertise, and commitment to quality first-hand and are confident that they will deliver Hudson
Hub to the highest standard.”

The 74-strata office building which features five retail suites, is already making a substantial
impact on the local real estate market. With approximately 65 per cent of the suites already
sold, Hudson Hub continues to demonstrate the growing demand for office and retail spaces in
suburban areas. Its recent retail campaign achieved over $11,000 per square metre rate for one
of its ground floor retail suites, a comparable price to Melbourne’s inner city suburbs.

The successful sales at Hudson Hub demonstrate the increasing appeal of Melbourne's West
and the evolving preferences of businesses and workers. Reflecting a growing trend towards
decentralised work locations and the desire for high-quality office spaces closer to residential
areas.

“Hudson Hub represents our commitment to creating high-quality office spaces outside the
CBD. The strong interest we’ve seen demonstrates that businesses value well-designed
suburban locations” Mr Bovell noted.

Designed by Hames Sharley, Hudson Hub incorporates several features to meet the evolving
needs of modern businesses and their employees. These include end-of-trip facilities, secure
bicycle storage, and ground-level communal EV charging facilities. Hudson Hub will also deliver
significant rooftop amenities with feature landscaping, entertaining spaces, a BBQ area, and
seating areas, whilst suites on Level 3 will benefit from private open-air balconies. The project
further emphasises sustainability with initiatives such as high-performance facades, solar
panels, and energy-efficient light fixtures.

“Williams Landing is marked as a major activity and employment centre. The location, excellent
transport links, access to local amenities, and long-standing business clientele within the
community make it an increasingly attractive destination for businesses looking to establish
themselves,” adds Bovell.

The official groundbreaking ceremony for Hudson Hub was held on Thursday 10 October. In
attendance was Cedar Woods’ Victorian State Manager James Bovell, project partners Hames
Sharley and Hacer Group, project consultants UPco and Indesco, alongside Leanne Down from
the Committee for Wyndham, who continue to provide invaluable support to the Wyndham
Community.

Hudson Hub office suites are now selling, with completion slated for Q1 2026.
