The Highlander, Melbourne - 490 Flinders Street, Melbourne

The Hub - 8 Garfield Street, Richmond

38 Freshwater Place, Southbank

The development site of the recently launched The Highlander, one of the first Melbourne CBD towers to be launched for several years, has hit the market.

The 352 sqm site&nbsp;at <a href="/new-apartments/the-highlander-melbourne-490-flinders-street-melbourne">490 Flinders Street</a>&nbsp;and 1-9 Highlander Lane comes with approved plans for a 24-level tower designed by Metier 3.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13067 project_image_fid=256355]

Singaporean investment firm Havenport Investments had been seeking to develop the building that has 35 apartments, a ground floor with a residential lobby, a cafe, retail spaces, a basement level with a car stacker for 10 vehicles, bicycle parking, and site services.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<a href="/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> is expecting the site to sell for around $12 million.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13067 project_image_fid=256357]

Colliers, Head of Investment Services – Victoria, Matt Stagg, said the permitted project is well advanced, offering an approved building envelope, positioned to capitalise on the premium view lines over the Yarra River and the high-end amenity stemming from the Rialto precinct that is around 75 metres away.

“We expect both local and offshore build-to-sell developers to compete for the site, as apartment pre-sales rates are improving across Melbourne," Stagg said.

"Population growth estimates show Melbourne to have the largest forecast migration of all the capital cities in Australia in the next 10 years”.&nbsp;

Colliers is expecting the site at 490 Flinders Street and 1-9 Highlander Lane to sell for around $12 million.

The Highlander, Melbourne development site hits the market

Melbourne's popular Flinders Street is set to get a rare new apartment development in the form of The Highlander, an architecturally striking tower just off the Yarra opposite the Sea Life Aquarium.

The Highlander, at <a href="/new-apartments/the-highlander-melbourne-490-flinders-street-melbourne">490 Flinders Street</a>, is being developed by Singaporean investment firm Havenport Investments, who added the adjoining site at 1-9 Highlander Lane to create enough space for the 23-level building which will home 35 apartments.

There will be a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, some half and some full floor. The levels up to 14 will have a maximum of three apartments, while from 14 to 21 will have three-bedroom, full floor apartments.

Level 22 homes a near 300 sqm, $7.5 million penthouse with unobstructed views over the river and Southbank.

The two-bedroom apartments, which start from 82 sqm, start from just over $1 million. The three-bedrooms start from $1.3 million.

The plans also include a ground floor with a residential lobby, a cafe, retail spaces, a basement level with a car stacker for ten vehicles, bicycle parking, and site services.

Designed by Metier 3, The Highlander features a dynamic facade&nbsp; through its chamfered and patterned windows.

The interiors feature wide solid oak floors, marble countertops and oak cabinetry throughout.

The heart of each Highlander apartments is the kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry and top-of-the-range AEG and Gaggenau appliances.

Andrew Norbury, founder of Metier3, said the philosophy of The Highlander deliberately avoids maximisation.

"Instead, we approached The Highlander as an artful expression of home design-less apartments, greater homes-drawing inspiration from a time when form and function were thoughtfully woven together with empathy and purpose."

The Highlander's location at the eastern end of Flinders Street, at the edge of the Hoddle Grid, allows for&nbsp;southern views of the Yarra River and an eastern perspective of Melbourne's Gardens. It's also just a stones throw from Southern Cross Station.

Castran Gilbert is marketing the project. They already have a number of reservations.
