National apartment developer Sun Property Group is continuing its push into Melbourne with their second project in the city's most affluent postcode getting the green light.

Following on from their debut Melbourne apartment development in ToorakThe Brookville, Sun Property Group (SPG), has secured approval for their next project, around 500 metres away on a double block at 226-228 Williams Road.

They'll be building a three-level block of just 18 high-end apartments designed by Cera Stribley, a mix of 10 two-bedroom apartments, four three-beds, and four penthouses.

The prime 1,114 sqm site is just 250 metres to Hawksburn Train Station and 400 metres from the 59 Tram. SPG will be retaining the Smooth Bark Apple Tree, which will stand in front of the building and be accompanied by new landscaping by Jack Merlo.

The apartments will sit above a two-level basement which will home 38 parking spaces for residents and visitors.

Cera Stribley said the site, near the intersection of Toorak, Prahran, and South Yarra, is ideally located in a vibrant and upscale neighbourhood in Melbourne.

"This intersection seamlessly blends the charm of Toorak’s leafy streets, Prahran’s urban lifestyle, and South Yarra’s cosmopolitan atmosphere," Cera Stribley said in their submissions to the local council.

They said the proposed development aims to bring together the strengths of these areas by providing a variety of residences that cater to the broad demographics that may be attracted to this location.

SPG, whose HQ is in Sydney, also has a project in Chatswood at 1a-17 Bowen Street, next to the Great Northern Hotel. They're currently working on Aurora, a boutique development of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments in Willoughby.
