With close proximity to the CBD, Docklands and a major link to the outer suburbs, residents will be connected to some of the best parks, restaurants, bars, entertainment and cultural precincts the city has to offer. Within walking distance, Flagstaff Gardens and the heritage Queen Victoria Market provide residents with green space and access to hundreds of market stalls with daily fresh produce and Summer and Winter night events.With a population of just over 5,000, West Melbourne is set to triple in size vertically with a sustainable environment and human-centric focus towards their urban renewal plans. Beyond the world-class design shared between a handful of architects, residents will also be able to enjoy West End’s restaurant and wine bar strip.AMENITIES INCLUDE:<ul><li>A day spa</li><li>Gymnasium</li><li>Public Park</li><li>Resident’s pool</li><li>Two spas</li><li>BBQ facilities</li><li>Private cinema</li><li>Wine cellar</li><li>Art gallery</li><li>Meditation Centre</li></ul></ul>A food providore, pet washing facilities, electric car charging stations by Tesla, car share, eight cafes and restaurants, an IGA supermarket, medical clinic, a 24/7 pharmacy as well as tree lined laneways with boutiques are huge examples of how West End is not just a residence benefit but a community one.For those who don’t even want to leave the opulence of their own apartment, West End offers in-apartment dining and catering associated with the Adina Grand Hotel which will maintain a presence on site.&nbsp;Bringing homework has often been thought of as a no-no, but West End has made it a relaxing exercise by way of a fully equipped business centre featuring HD projection, live streaming, and Foxtel. A 50-seat cinema room adds to the amenities spectrum within West End.&nbsp;You can expect a spacious and comfortable living with an extensive wall of joinery offering generous versatile storage in each apartment.&nbsp;Interiors offer natural textures such a timber and granite, creating a sense of home and warmth. Timber dining tables are nestled beneath bench tops with Bosch appliances throughout. Cylindrical and cube shapes repeat throughout the apartments in lighting fixtures, joinery and mirrors. Simple elements deliver maximum impact and a generous standard of open living with floor-to-ceiling windows to bring natural light and warmth into residences.Beyond being an exceptionally pet-friendly building, West End offers both dog walking and grooming services to ensure that man’s best friend is fully catered for. Settling will never be an issue within West end, perhaps the only problem could be not wanting to leave.&nbsp;Yet with every available amenity on hand, there may never be a reason to.

The Trenerry Consortium has announced the acquisition of the historic, Burnham Beeches in Melbourne&rsquo;s Yarra Ranges. The transaction was managed directly with the former owners who will hand over the reins of the site&rsquo;s regeneration.

The consortium intends to engage early with the close-knit community of the Dandenong Ranges as an important first step in a holistic review of the master plan.

Placemaking agency Village Well has been appointed to assist with this process, leaning on their extensive experience with both public and private development projects.

&ldquo; We are pleased to be embarking on this regenerative journey with the local community and to be working on such a significant and unique site which is both locally loved and globally distinctive. Burnham Beeches is truly a one time one place offering,&rdquo; says Gilbert Rochecouste, Founder &amp; Managing Director of Village Well.

The property was sold with a permit in place for stage one of the redevelopment, which the consortium intends to proceed with, however it will be seeking input into the amenity and functioning of Burnham Beeches as part of the early community consultation process.

The immediate priority will be to work with Heritage Victoria and Council on a number of building orders to be urgently addressed across the site.

The Consortium has appointed Hamilton Marino, who are also the builders of The Continental Hotel, to complete the works.

The 56-acre site is home to a number of heritage buildings which are set to be restored as part of extensive works to breathe new life into the property, including one of Victoria&rsquo;s most significant art deco buildings, the renowned Alfred Nichols heritage mansion.

Investing in the experience economy is familiar territory for Trenerry, as it works to create a legacy of bringing Victorian heritage icons back to life.

The group recently acquired South Yarra&rsquo;s Poolman House with plans to convert it to a hotel and private members&rsquo; club, while also preparing to open Sorrento&rsquo;s $135 million Continental Hotel later this month.

On this latest venture, Trenerry Director Robert DiCintio said the opportunity to purchase Burnham Beeches was unpassable given its rich history and proximity to the centre of Melbourne.

&ldquo; We know there&rsquo;s a really strong community sentiment around Burnham Beeches and we want to work with Council and the community together with Heritage Victoria and Parks Victoria to ensure this is a place to be enjoyed for generations to come,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo; There&rsquo;s a lot to work through even in this initial stage, and years of work ahead. We are both respectful and excited, if not somewhat daunted, by the journey ahead but I believe with the support of Burnham&rsquo;s passionate stakeholders together with our proven track record, we can see it operating in some capacity later this year.&rdquo;

The Consortium is made up of The Victor Smorgon Group, The Kanat Group and Trenerry Property. As well as South Yarra&rsquo;s Poolman House and The Continental in Sorrento, these proudly Victorian groups have been responsible for several other landmark projects - such as the West End Project in West Melbourne, Ebony at 347 Camberwell Road Camberwell and 88 Trenerry Crescent, Abbotsford.

The consortium intends to engage early with the close-knit community of the Dandenong Ranges as an important first step in a holistic review of the master plan.
