Albert Park Tower Demolition to Start Resident Relocations in July 2026
The 150 Victoria Avenue public housing tower will begin resident moves this month as part of a multi-tower redevelopment, with replacement housing projected for later in 2026.
How we reported this
Authorities have confirmed the demolition of the 150 Victoria Avenue public housing tower in Albert Park. Resident relocations are scheduled to begin in July 2026. The move forms part of the third phase of a 44-tower redevelopment program. New housing options are expected to be ready later in 2026.
This schedule directly affects current residents of the tower. Households will need to arrange transfers within the coming months. The timing determines when families must adjust to new addresses and when existing units will be cleared for the next construction stage.
Timeline for Local Households
Relocations starting in July 2026 set the first concrete deadline for Albert Park residents in the tower. Moves will occur in stages rather than all at once. Replacement units becoming available later in the same year provide the next milestone. Residents can therefore plan around two defined periods rather than an open-ended process.
The sequence means daily routines tied to the tower, such as access to nearby services, will shift for affected households beginning this month. Those not yet scheduled for relocation can monitor updates on their own transfer dates through official channels.
Next Steps in the Process
Following the initial relocations, demolition work will proceed on the cleared site. Construction under the broader 44-tower program will then advance according to the established phases. The government projects that replacement homes will meet the later-2026 target, allowing the redevelopment to continue without extended gaps in housing supply for those already relocated.
Albert Park residents outside the tower will see no immediate change to their own housing arrangements from this phase alone. The confirmed dates apply only to the 150 Victoria Avenue building at this time.
