Wickton launch new Hampton apartment development, Linacre Rise
Bespoke Melbourne apartment developer Wickton has launched its newest project.
Linacre Rise, in Hampton, will feature just 27 two and three-bedroom apartments at 8-10 Linacre Road, next to Linacre Private Hospital and a few hundred metres from Peace Park, Sandringham Golf Club and Sandringham Beach.
Architecture firm Ewert Leaf has designed the low-rise project which will sit in landscaping by John Patrick Landscape Design.
Ewert Leaf said their aim was to create a living environment that exudes openness, brightness and an elevated aesthetic that will also stand the test of time.
"Capitalising on a location in one of Hampton’s highest areas, each residence at Linacre Rise has been carefully designed to capture superb views in every direction. Here, among the calm of a peaceful leafy boulevard, you can relax and recharge, with everything you love about Hampton close by," the architecture firm said.
They said the architecture is a study in contemporary refinement.
"Drawing on the timeless warmth and craftsmanship of traditional brickwork for the exterior. The building itself nestles into terraced landscaping, with ground apartments elevated above the street and generous balconies on higher levels offering views across landscaped planters to the bay."
The 15 two-bedroom apartments start from $1,275,000, while the 12 three-bedroom apartments are priced from $2.05 million.
The apartments feature premium Swiss V-Zug appliances, natural stone benchtops, European oak floorboards, tufted plush pile carpet and tile flooring.
Every apartment gets at least two parking spots in the basement parking which has electric vehicle charging points. The building covers 58 per cent of the 2,415 sqm double-block.
Wickton, based in South Melbourne, are anticipating a Q1 2025 completion for Linacre Rise. Wickton have their sights on future projects in Hampton.
They've had Ewert Leaf also put the design together for new apartments on Beach Road.
