New homes in Kensington are careful infill builds within heritage controls. We build homes that respect the streetscape and make the most of narrow lots.
Kensington has Victorian terraces and workers' cottages on narrow lots, with heritage overlays across much of the suburb.
NMB Homes is a second-generation family builder based in Coburg North. We've been building in Melbourne's inner north and inner west since 1993, under fixed-price contracts, with Ninos personally involved in every job.
