Why Penny Lane apartments secured a 99 Walk Score in the heart of Moonee Ponds

Development group <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/giancorp-property-group">Giancorp</a> took to <a href="/developments/moonee-ponds-vic-3039">Moonee Ponds</a> to rejuvenate and reconnect the suburb's Puckle Street precinct with their apartment development Penny Lane, an arthouse cinema and arcade, and a laneway network that boosts walkability.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/penny-lane-moonee-ponds-6-14-young-street-moonee-ponds">Penny Lane</a> comprises a total of 109 completed apartments, each offering generous balconies or terraces. It is the focus on longevity, spatial planning, and environmental credentials that sets Penny Lane apart.

Designed by <a href="/architects/clarke-hopkins-clarke-0">Clarke Hopkins Clarke Architects</a> with carefully selected permanent materials and exceptional finishes throughout the building and residences, such as glass, concrete, steel, warm timbers, and soft feature stones.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1676 project_image_fid=268937]

"Penny Lane has been designed with longevity at the forefront of our thinking," Clarke Hopkins Clarke Architects Multi-residential partner Toby Lauclan says.

Materials of glass, steel and concrete are softened at street level by vertical planting, bluestone and recycled bricks salvaged from the site’s existing building.

"Robust, long-lasting materials including concrete, steel and glass, will ensure the building ages well, is low-maintenance and inexpensive to maintain over its entire lifespan. While concrete comes with high embodied energy it can also help reduce a building's carbon footprint by making add-on elements like cladding unnecessary."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1676 project_image_fid=268938]

Prioritising an ecologically sustainable development, Penny Lane achieves a 7.2 NatHERS rating, with energy-efficient double glazing, LED lighting, rainwater harvesting, and on-site 15Kw of renewable energy, making it a low maintenance and low impact development.

Each apartment has the kitchen as the heart of the home, well appointed with Miele appliances and stone benchtops, where homebuyers can choose between light or dark colour schemes.

The bedrooms feature built-in robes, while the bathrooms adopt an attractive neutral colour palette, maintaining a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic throughout.

Residents of Penny Lane also enjoy exclusive access to amenities on the level three podium garden, a full-line gymnasium, a private lounge, a designer kitchen, and dining rooms for social gatherings. Additionally, the level nine terrace provides expansive views and landscaped spaces.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1676 project_image_fid=268947]

The Penny Lane precinct also features Melbourne’s newest cinema complex complete with a luxury rooftop cinema, Platinum lounge and a range of cafes and casual dining options – the perfect place for a pre-movie dinner or a post-movie wine with friends.

Penny Lane is also conveniently located close to Moonee Valley Racecourse, the home of Australia’s most prestigious horse race, the Cox Plate, while also being just a few minutes from the Queen's Park, Moonee Valley’s oldest park that has a lake, a pool, cottage café, and an expansive gardens space.

Encompass, which will be a&nbsp;minimum 5-star energy rated residential building, has already sold over 50 per cent of its 115 apartments.

Harris HMC has been appointed as the builder and construction of the residential tower is expected to reach completion in mid-2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=21762]

Sarah Bloom, General Manager Development Victoria, Frasers Property Australia, says the expansive city views, location just 2.5km from Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD as well as having local cafes, shops and restaurants at its doorstep, make Encompass a popular choice for purchasers wanting to experience cosmopolitan Carlton.

&ldquo;There is a real &lsquo;wow&rsquo; factor to Encompass, not only from its impressive aesthetic design, but also its many sustainability features, such as water management initiatives, natural light and ventilation to every corridor, consideration of orientation and shading maximising light and ventilation to all apartments,&rdquo;&nbsp;Bloom says.

&ldquo;With all these benefits on offer in one place, it&rsquo;s no wonder that more than 50% of Encompass&rsquo;s apartments have already been sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188245]

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re excited to get started and to mark this exciting milestone with our project partners and members of the community,&rdquo; she says.

Construction starts on Frasers' Encompass, Carlton apartments

The Melbourne developer Kincaid has appointed the longstanding Harris HMC to build its Heidelberg West apartment development, Cultivate.

The privately-owned and family-ran company, led by Dale Kennedy&nbsp;since 2006&nbsp;is among one of&nbsp;Australia&rsquo;s top per cent&nbsp;construction companies, having began build​ing in Melbourne back in the mid 1980s.

Having previously completed The Pullman Hotel on Swanston St and the premium 550 Bourke St office tower, Harris HMC currently has a strong workbook of projects, including&nbsp;Penny Lane, the mixed-use commercial residential development for Giancorp in Moonee Ponds, as well as Allison Parkside, 28 boutique two and three-bedroom apartments in Essendon.

They&#39;ve also worked on a $4.6 million fit out of&nbsp;North Melbourne FC&#39;s offices and changing rooms, as well as box suites&nbsp;at Marvel Stadium.

They&#39;ll be constructing the dual towers at Cultivate, which is over 50 per cent sold to a good mix of first home buyers, investors and owner occupiers.

Kincaid&rsquo;s development manager Joel Martin said it was a strategic move to engage Harris&nbsp;HMC&nbsp;as the builder&nbsp;for the project. They bring an array of skills to the table given their exposure to commercial, residential and fit out works.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=628 project_image_fid=178983]

&quot;HMC has been doing great work in the construction space for nearly 40 years, delivering very well known projects across the state&quot;, Martin said.

&quot;The team has an expert knowledge of how to create contemporary apartment buildings, and we can&#39;t wait to see Cultivate start rising from the ground.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=628 project_image_fid=180702]

There will be some movement on site at the end of the year, with construction ramping up fully early next year for its late 2023&nbsp;completion date.

Construction commencement tends to trigger price increase among off th​e plan developments, due to the nature of the progression of the construction and further costs associated.

Currently the apartments, which have interiors designed by DKO&nbsp;start from $369,000.

The two-bedroom apartments at the moment are priced from $479,000, over $130,000 less than Heidelberg&nbsp;West&#39;s&nbsp;median two-bedroom apartment price of $610,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=628 project_image_fid=178984]

Cultivate is set to change the face of West Heidelberg, which is sandwiched between the established suburbs of&nbsp;Ivanhoe, Heidelberg and Preston.

The street-level will be revitalized, with retail space at the foot of the buildings, which each have separate and secure entry.

The City of Banyule Council has an extensive redevelopment plan for Bell Street Mall across the road, which will see the mall, dating back to 1956, completely regenerated.
