At Edina Building Group, we understand that when it comes to property, most people think the big gains come from buying low and selling high—but what if you could create that value yourself?
A French Provincial project in Glen Waverley illustrates exactly that. With construction finishing in January 2024 for $2.5 million and valued at around $5 million a few months later, this project underscores a quiet but powerful truth: when you pair the right land with a bespoke design, the returns can exceed even the most optimistic projections.
A Case Study in Value Creation
This home is not merely a statement of craftsmanship and style; it is a deliberate exercise in value creation. Every decision—from the classical façade to the intricate interior detailing—was made with both liveability and market demand in mind.
Situated in Glen Waverley, one of Melbourne’s blue-chip suburbs, the property benefits from strong infrastructure, premium schools, and sustained buyer demand for prestige homes. The result is a residence that not only satisfies the brief for luxury living but also outperforms expectations in valuation terms.
Why Our Clients Choose to Build
Equity Begins Before the Concrete Sets
Purchasing land and building a custom home allows our clients to unlock equity in a way that established homes rarely offer. By designing from the ground up, we can maximise the site’s potential—whether that’s through clever floorplans, elevated finishes, or enhancing curb appeal to meet buyer expectations.
Designing for Longevity
Markets shift, but quality remains. At Edina Building Group, we focus on creating homes that will endure beyond short-lived trends. Timeless features—grand entrances, premium materials, and balanced proportions—help ensure our projects retain their appeal and value well into the future.
What We Tell Our Clients
When clients approach us, they aren’t just asking for a build—they’re asking for guidance on how to create a legacy. Our advice is simple:
- Choose experience: The right builder understands both construction and the economics of real estate.
- Balance creativity with practicality: Great design considers both liveability and how the market will view the property in five, ten, or fifteen years.
- Know your market: Smart investment means understanding demand and supply for luxury homes in your area.
The Bottom Line
For us, the Glen Waverley project stands as a reminder that the best builds do more than make a visual statement—they make a financial one too. In an increasingly discerning market, success lies in collaboration, foresight, and execution.
At Edina Building Group, we don’t just build homes. We help our clients build value. Let us help you, too.
