MAB is a property development company established in 1995. MAB delivers developments ranging from residential communities to commercial and industrial projects, focusing on shaping the built environment.

Established in 1995, and founded by fifth generation property identities, Michael and Andrew Buxton, MAB takes great pride in shaping the fabric of the built environment and creating a legacy of originality, quality and excellence.

Today MAB’s diversified portfolio exceeds $17 billion spanning masterplanned communities, residential apartments, townhouses, commercial offices, business parks, retail and investments.

MAB has demonstrated experience in pioneering the delivery of large-scale urban-renewal projects and masterplanned communities including NewQuay Docklands, University Hill Bundoora, and Merrifield Mickleham set to be the largest mixed-use community in Victoria.

MAB is now embarking on the state significant, revitalisation of Brompton Gasworks in Adelaide and planning a game-changing 21st century 780 hectare business park, Greater Avalon.

This week we have grown our industrial pipeline in Melbourne's South East with the acquisition of over 32 hectares within the future Croskell employment precinct in Cranbourne East, expanding our landholding to 77 hectares. MAB’s development will ultimately comprise over 250,000m2 of state of the art industrial and logistics space with an end value exceeding $800 million.
 
The future development will have the benefit of established infrastructure including, an already duplicated Thompsons Road, close proximity to the future Dandenong South Intermodal Terminal, established Cranbourne West and Dandenong Industrial Precincts, multiple retail centres and a booming residential catchment. 
 
MAB’s latest acquisition in the City of Casey follows the success of our Thompsons Base and Element Park business parks within the municipality and MAB’s purchase of 36 hectares of greenfield residential land in Devon Meadows.
 
Thanks to the hard work of the MAB team Luke Mitrione, Jamie Buxton, Matthew Planner and LAWD Peter Sagar, Paul Callanan and Henry Sayers who brokered the sale.

We recently attended Nightingale's Opening at Preston Crossing, an event dedicated to the residents on a cool wintry Melbourne evening. The rooftop gathering provided the MAB team an opportunity to talk directly with residents and witness first hand the strong sense of community and pride that has been established since opening of the building and while providing a chance to celebrate the great work completed by MAB's project partners. 
 
The evening commenced with a smoking ceremony by Colin Hunter Jnr, to welcome all and officially open the evening. Those in attendance included, The Hon. Sonya Kilkenny and our project partners, Nightingale Housing, Breathe, Balmain & Co and TCL.

A special thanks also to our partners HousingFirst Ltd, the Victorian Government (Homes Victoria) and the MAB team that have been part of the hard work that has been instrumental in delivering the first three completed stages of Preston Crossing.

Supporting community at the grassroots! 
 
In 2018, our Merrifield Community Partnerships Program funded a Merrifield Auskick program, which was the launchpad for the Merrifield Panthers Sporting Association. We have since been proud supporters and helped provide opportunities for the local community to participate in basketball, football, cricket and tennis. 

With even more sports on the horizon, the association has seen amazing growth over the past 6 years, having now established a strong presence in the Craigieburn Junior Domestic Basketball competition, expanded its Auskick program and more recently debuted the Merrifield Panthers Football Club in the Essendon District Football League.

Recently, we welcomed residents into the first three completed stages at Preston Crossing - MAB’s new, sustainable residential community in Melbourne’s inner north. 

The three completed stages are within the Oakover Road neighbourhood of Preston Crossing and include 26 townhouses designed by Archier, 52 Nightingale apartments by Breathe, and 99 social and affordable apartments by Hayball.

Each apartment and townhouse is Five Star Green Star Design and As-Built certified, and carries a minimum 7 Star average NatHERs rating, significantly reducing energy usage in operation. Homes are all electric, solar boosted and, when paired with a green power electricity plan, can operate carbon neutral.

Last month at Merrifield City, we celebrated the opening of the Paul Sadler Swimland and the topping out of our new four-level commercial building - set to open later this year with Green Leaves Childcare, Jetts fitness gym, allied health services, office spaces and more.

Thank you to everyone involved in reaching this significant milestone, including QIC Real Estate, Hume City Council Mayor Cr Naim Kurt, Becon Constructions (Aust) Pty Ltd and NH Architecture.

This week we were delighted to provide eight property students from RMIT and the University of Melbourne with an exclusive tour of our MAB Preston Crossing project. Students were provided a first-hand look at our completed buildings and current stages under construction with a mix of townhouses, apartments, Nightingale apartments and social housing showcased. Led by David Allt-Graham, Alex McMillan, David Hall and Maddison Caulfield, the student group walked away with some valuable insights and a better understanding of the diverse work we do at MAB.

Brick by brick! Merrifield residents were invited to be part of our community art paver project - Merrifield Community Pathways. This unique initiative was launched to bring our community together and celebrate the 10-year journey of Merrifield. We'd like to thank the members of the Merrifield community that have helped make this project possible!
 
Merrifield Community Pathways is an opportunity for residents to leave an everlasting mark with the installation of personalised pavers located at the entry of Belmore Park, due to open in May 2024.
