AVJennings shift focus to Melbourne's inner ring for latest residential community

Earlier this year off the plan buyers moved into JWLand's <a href="/buildings/the-grounds-ivanhoe-east-177-the-boulevard-ivanhoe-east">The Grounds of Ivanhoe East</a>, the striking mini-masterplanned development in <a href="/developments/ivanhoe-east-vic-3079">Melbourne's Ivanhoe East</a>.

Situated just <a href="/developments/ivanhoe-east-vic-3079">nine kilometres northeast of Melbourne’s CBD</a>, <a href="/buildings/the-grounds-ivanhoe-east-177-the-boulevard-ivanhoe-east">The Grounds of Ivanhoe East</a> comprises a collection of townhouses and a trio of apartment buildings surrounding by extensive landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=210856]

<a href="/buildings/the-grounds-ivanhoe-east-177-the-boulevard-ivanhoe-east">The Grounds of Ivanhoe East's</a> limited collection of two-level townhomes, Oak Terraces, boast a facade blending brickwork, textural concrete render, and Monument-finished metals inspired by the grand homes of Ivanhoe East.

Oak Terraces feature engineered wide timber floorboards and a controlled neutral palette, creating a warm and light-filled canvas. Large windows maximise natural light, offering views that blend the indoors and the outdoors.

These two-level homes provide independent entries, outdoor terraces on both levels and a lockable garage for two cars. Attention to detail extends to carefully selected features and finishes adorning each townhome.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=210854]

Entertainers’ kitchens showcase premium SMEG appliances and a Vintec 50-bottle wine fridge, complemented by polished stone benchtops and satin finishes.&nbsp;

The stone island bench, serving as an available workspace or as an extra dining zone or bar, subtly separates the kitchen while maintaining a connection to the dining area and lounge.

Catering to different lifestyles, the floor plans incorporated extended living zones and spacious upper-level landings for additional lounges, home offices, or media rooms.

Meanwhile, <a href="/buildings/the-grounds-ivanhoe-east-177-the-boulevard-ivanhoe-east">The Grounds of Ivanhoe East's</a> trio of apartment buildings — Wilfred, Wamba, and The Boulevard — offer two, three, and four-bedroom configurations overlooking gardens and the city skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=210861]

Each apartment maximises natural light through floor-to-ceiling glass doors to connect the open-plan living areas to the outdoors—an extended space for entertaining.

Bedrooms and bathrooms in both townhomes and apartments are spacious and light-filled.

Bedrooms feature clean, plush wool carpets and full-height wardrobes concealed behind panels of satin finish joinery, while master suites are equipped with walk-through robes as a private dressing room.&nbsp;

Bathrooms boast floor-to-ceiling tiling and stone vanities with elegant squared basins and tapware. Some master ensuites include a sculptural, freestanding bath and heated under-tile flooring.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=210864]

JWLand has emphasised community and the environment at The Grounds, with more than 15,000 sqm of land dedicated to gardens and public spaces.

"When forming the masterplan for The Grounds, we focused on creating this landscaped environment where residents are still connected to nature, without having to maintain their own gardens,” stated JWLand’s Project Marketing Manager, Nick Babic.

Limited two and three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhomes remain at <a href="/buildings/the-grounds-ivanhoe-east-177-the-boulevard-ivanhoe-east">The Grounds of Ivanhoe East</a>.

<a href="/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney">Hyde Metropolitan</a> by veteran Sydney developer <a href="/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> is set to be the tallest address in Hyde Park when it's completed in late 2028.

Construction is expected to kick off this year at 133-141 Liverpool Street in the <a href="/developers/deicorp">Sydney CBD</a>, on the site of the Polding Centre building which dates back to the 1970s and has been occupied by offices ever since.

Following the site acquisition in 2021, <a href="/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> undertook a design excellence process by selecting Candalepas Associates to create the striking tower.

CBRE Residential Projects Managing Director Dave Milton said Hyde Metropolitan will be "one of the preeminent Sydney residential development on the southern end of Hyde Park."

The project will home 168 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, of which a number will have never-to-be-built-out views across Hyde Park.

Upon arrival, residents will be greeted by an eight-level-high private lobby with arched cathedral fenestrations—serving as a podium of the Candalepas-designed 55-level tower.

Hyde Metropolitan’s ground level will also be home to a proposed high-end restaurant and cocktail lounge—fitting to its surrounding vibrant streetscape.

The exclusive upper levels will be home to Hyde Metropolitan’s oversized apartments with 2.9 metre-high ceilings, adding depth and volume to the view-filled rooms.&nbsp;

The apartments’ spacious entertaining areas give way to remarkable winter gardens wrapped by floor-to-ceiling picture windows embracing the sweeping views overlooking the city.

The master bedroom has large ensuites and spacious walk-in robes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21809 project_image_fid=215741]

It was 2018 when Matrix Development descended on Melbourne's St Kilda Road precinct, snapping up what used to be the&nbsp;Habitat HQ backpacker hostel for $16 million.

The 2540 sqm corner site fronting St Kilda Road and Blanche Street will be home to the ten-level boutique apartment, M333.

M333 comprises 76 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, including two limited penthouse duplexes. They will sit above a ground level which will have two retail spaces, expected to be a mini grocer and a specialty bakery cafe.

<img alt="M333" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="25d1e44f-d971-44a7-bdf5-d3979c507179" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-10%20at%201.11.56%20pm.png?VersionId=d4FAkFPmoY._ivnAeraTkuJ3Gmp4_DhW" />

All apartments will have one or two parking spaces as well as lockable storage areas.

Matrix worked with leading Australian architecture studio Rothelowman to deliver the project.

M333's exterior showcases a visually cohesive symmetrical form, crafted from a texturally rich material palette and complemented by lush greenery for an organic and gentle touch to the building's overall appearance.

Esteemed landscape architect Trac will landscape the vegetation surrounding the development's exterior.

The interior spaces have been purposefully crafted to be spacious and open to create a seamless flow between indoor areas and the balconies.

M333: The newest apartments coming for Melbourne's St Kilda Road precinct

BLVD is the newest address in Melbourne's cultural Southbank hub.

It's the latest stage of OSK Property's $2.8 billion masterplan, Melbourne Square, which is becoming one of the most impressive precincts ever developed in the Victorian capital.

With everything going on at Melbourne Square, Apartments.com.au CEO Mike Bird recently caught up with OSK Property Business Development Manager Michael Koschar in their recently opened display suite to discuss Melbourne Square, and BLVD, in more detail.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C_AbLiLA3QE?si=BPFaEZC4xded9rsl" title="YouTube video player"></iframe>

Koschar says the project has been getting attention since day one.

"It's a massive site of huge importance, not only for us, but also the council and the City of Melbourne," Koschar says.

"Anytime you developer such a large site in the aerts precinct of a city, it's going to get a little bit of attention, and certainly it was no different for us selling our stage one."

Koschar says as a developer it was extremely important that they found a large enough site that enabled them to buildessentially a city within a city, not just a singular site where they put up one tower with limited space and amenity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=214122]

The amenity and community has been a big drawcard for buyers, with Koschar suggesting a car just isn't needed at Melbourne Square.

"You can walk to almost anywhere you need to&nbsp;get to," Koschar says.

"Here we've got the two-storey Woolworths downstairs under our stage one, we've got a Nido&nbsp;Child Care which is also a huge benefit for locals that live around here. They can&nbsp;drop the kids off and perhaps take the tram into the city to get to work, so we're seeing a huge&nbsp;change in how people are living and how they're choosing to live in this area."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211870]

While the amenity is plentiful outside the building, BLVD in particular is set to bring facilities which are more commonly seen in high-end resorts.

There's a level eight podium with a gym, 25-metre swimming pool, spa and sauna, as well as a zen garden with alfresco dining and barbecue facilities.

Cleverly taking advantage of how tall BLVD will be, OSK Property had COX Architecture locate some of the amenity as high up the building as possible.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=214126]&nbsp;

The 55th level is occupied by&nbsp; the Horizon dining rooms with unbeatable views over Melbourne. On the 55th and 56th floors is the Co-Quarter co-working space with a choice of meeting rooms, individual pods, lounge and break-out area to work from whilst enjoying inspiring views over the bay.

Also on level 55 is the Skye Club for the exclusive use of premium residences located on levels 56 and above. Here you’ll find a luxurious lounge with cocktail bar, a private dining room and another gym.&nbsp;

There's also a golf simulator, cinema room, and even a karaoke room.

The lifestyle&nbsp;factor at BLVD, paired with the approach to sustainability within the apartments, see OSK Property push for&nbsp;WELL pre-Certification for healthy living. BLVD would be the first residential project in Australia to secure the certification.

The Park Ridge Master Planned Area (MPA), according to the Logan City Council's vision, aims to develop as an integrated and sustainable urban community. The MPA is expected to accommodate a population of approximately 30,000 people and provide up to 8,000 jobs by 2026.

One developer tapping into the anticipate growth is Property &amp; Equity who have delivered a collection of 23 townhomes to the area.&nbsp;

Residents will benefit from the recent completion of the Logan Hospital expansion, a $145 million project, which has transformed the hospital into a state-of-the-art health facility, catering to the growing population in the southwest growth corridor.

Just over one kilometre away lies the Park Ridge Town Centre retail precinct, which features popular supermarkets Coles and Woolworths, as well as a range of specialty retail, food, and health stores.&nbsp;

For additional shopping needs, the Grand Plaza Shopping Centre in Brown Plains is a short seven-minute drive from Wattlebrush Gardens, offering a wide selection of stores.
