The details come to life inside completed Candela Ivanhoe apartments
The emphasis on natural light at Candela Ivanhoe is now on full display, with developer Salter Brothers completing construction of one of the few newly built apartment developments in Melbourne's sought-after, leafy suburb of Ivanhoe.
Central to the design of Candela Ivanhoe, which comprises 58 residences ranging from one-bedroom apartments to larger three- and four-bedroom homes and loft-style residences, is a sunlit central atrium.
The atrium was designed to draw natural light deep into the building while connecting the apartments with the shared resident spaces.
"Natural light was a major consideration throughout the design process, influencing everything from the positioning of the apartments to the materials and finishes selected for the interiors," Dumindha Ranasinghe, Director Funds Management at Salter Brothers, said.
With construction complete, prospective buyers can now walk through the finished apartments and see how that design approach translates into the homes themselves, rather than relying on architectural renders and floorplans.
From the moment you enter, the planning feels intuitive. Integrated storage keeps everyday life organised, while full kitchens with Miele appliances connect seamlessly with generous living areas, creating a welcoming setting for quiet mornings, entertaining and everything in between.
Flexible layouts, substantial storage and clear separation between living and private zones make each residence easy to live in. With construction complete, you can now experience the usable space around each zone, the natural flow from kitchen to living area and the generous proportions of the bedrooms.
Comfort is complemented by energy-efficient design, including double-glazed windows and a 25kW rooftop solar system that helps power communal areas. The development also achieves a NatHERS-certified average energy rating above seven stars.
Select apartments capture views towards the Dandenong Ranges, bringing an ever-changing outlook into the living space and adding to the sense of light and openness.
Live in the heart of Ivanhoe Village
With a Walk Score of 90, Candela places cafés, restaurants, food shopping and public transport within easy reach, so daily life can be enjoyed without relying on a car. Leading schools, natural parkland and golf courses are also close by, giving you exceptional choice for education, recreation and relaxation.
At home, the central atrium connects you to a residents’ lounge and landscaped rooftop terrace. Beyond the building, everything Ivanhoe Village has to offer is close at hand. It is a thoughtfully designed, low-maintenance lifestyle that gives you the freedom to simply lock up and leave.
Completed residences are now available to inspect, ahead of residents moving in from October 2026. Private appointments are now available.
