It’s the second time they’ll do houses instead of apartments.
The Block has found the next location for the upcoming season of the show which will take place at a series of 1850s mansions in St Kilda according to The Herald Sun.
The property is at 38 Grey Street, and is a backpacker’s hostel with a “seedy reputation”. Sources have told the publication there are five mansions built behind the rundown façade and will be the largest homes ever remodeled by contestants on the show.
The publication is reporting that producers nabbed the property in an off-market deal and is set to be the second St Kilda property to be renovated by the show.
It’s also the second time the contestants will be renovating houses and not apartments.
Signs have gone up around the premises alerting backpackers they will soon need to leave.
Sources have told the publication that producers are hoping to make a positive change to St Kilda.
