You've heard it before - location location location.

We recently had a tour through Mirvac's latest apartment project, Prince &amp; Parade, a beautiful multi-residential development that not only faces Princes Park, but it's situated fronting Brunswick's infamous Sydney Road and on the number 19 tram line which runs to the CBD every six minutes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=217137]

This display suite is stunning.

First up, we have the kitchen in the Celestial palette, which features warm hues of muted ochre and burnt sienna. With over 50 years of experience, Mirvac know you want to see more than one design scheme in real life. I love the unique curved natural stone and the shaker cabinetry, which is paired with these striking custom handles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=217110]

This kitchen is in the Sanctuary palette, with pale eucalypt and paperbark tones, taking cues from Australia's bush landscape. Moving along, we've got a generous dining area that can comfortably seat up to 8 people, which flows perfectly to the lounge for post-dinner relaxation and socialising.

The display suite also has one full-sized bedroom, and a pretty impressive walk-in wardrobe featuring custom timber joinery and full-height mirrors. While in the ensuite, the green stone really pops, giving the space a lovely sense of playfulness and style. The fully electric building, is set to achieve an average 7-star NatHERS rating, with solar panels on the roof which will assist to power the common areas, which will in time reduce owners corp fees for residents.

When you feel like entertaining guests, you'll have access to a bookable dining room equipped with a fireplace, kitchen and dinnerware. And for the ultimate relaxation, you can head to the tranquil resident's lounge or the rooftop terrace, which boasts city skyline views, meandering pathways and verdant greenery.

South Yarra House might be the most beautifully crafted apartment development South Yarra has ever seen.

Developer Wattletree has had SJB mix architecture with density to create something that hasn't been previously available before.

The 58-apartment project, inspired by simple, brutalist, art-deco New York architecture, has been a hit with downsizers in particular so far, who want to stay close to the action of South Yarra without the effort of maintaining a home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112970 project_image_fid=214711]

They're getting an equally high level of finish that they could ever get in a home at South Yarra House, with renowned Hecker Guthrie handling the interiors of the project.

We recently took a tour of the South Yarra House display suite which features the centrepiece of the home, the kitchen, lined with marble benchtops and Gaggenau appliances.

South Yarra House comprises just three and four-bedroom apartments, a maximum of five apartments per floor. They will sit above a commercial and retail podium.

Each apartment features intuitive configurations, ensuring a seamless flow that resonates with the needs of modern living. Enveloped by an uninterrupted north-facing panorama overlooking the Yarra River, these homes effortlessly capture the essence of serene luxury.

Another key stand out of the apartments is the ceiling heights, which range between 2.8 metres and 3.3 metres high, far above the Australian standard of 2.4 metres. High ceilings create a sense of space, and allow for more natural light to flood the apartment through equally high floor to ceiling windows.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112970 project_image_fid=214705]

Every facet of South Yarra House showcases a commitment to quality. From the Gaggenau in the kitchen to&nbsp;custom veneer joinery, meticulously handcrafted bricks and brushed nickel tapware, every fixture and finish has been considered.

Communal spaces take shape in the form of a rooftop haven with a swimming pool, alfresco dining space with a barbecue kitchen, and an indoor dining area.
