Step into the vibrant village atmosphere that is Footscray’s River One. CHT Architects and developer Blue Earth Group have collaborated to create this high-rise with an exciting assemblage of ground-level retail outlets and commercial spaces that blend perfectly with the flurry of Melbourne’s famous laneways and tasteful street art.
Located at 6 Joseph Road, Footscray, exceptional comfort and livability were at the forefront of the vision for River One. With 210 dwellings spread across 28 floors, the building draws inspiration from the Maribyrnong’s historic maritime atmosphere. Its soaring facade boasts floor-to-ceiling glass and takes colours from dark grey and black palettes.
With premium frontages on the banks of the Maribyrnong River, you are able to step outside your home to the vast communal amenities available within arms reach with bike trails, boardwalks, jetty piers and the vibrant cultural melting pot of restaurants and markets at Footscray Central, just moments from the development.
Experience resort-style living with River One’s communal outdoor and recreational landscapes designed by Rush Wright and Associates.
