The Melbourne property developer and construction firm BCentral are rubber-stamping their reputation of delivering what they promised when selling their off the plan apartment developments.

They recently completed&nbsp;ALIA in the bayside McKinnon area, and the development, particularly the kitchen, look identical to the renders offered to buyers when the sales launched last year.

Below is an example of how alike the render and finished product of the kitchen are,&nbsp;created by the interior design studio ZUNICA.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/alia-kitchen.jpg" rel="gallery-all"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="580" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/alia-kitchen.jpg?itok=b-B33IPG" width="580" /></a>

<figcaption>Top Image - Render of kitchen. Bottom Image - Finished product of kitchen.</figcaption>
</figure>

ALIA was a collaborative effort by ZUNICA, Perkins Architects, and Bruce Henderson Architects.&nbsp;

Prior to the launch of the apartments last year, the full-floor penthouse sold for nearly $2 million, setting a suburb record for an apartment. A number of the sub-penthouses sold for over $1 million.

BCentral founder Tal Goldman told Urban when sales launched that ALIA was perfect for anyone searching for a premium home&nbsp;with&nbsp;world-class amenity.

&ldquo;This project is so special when it comes to multi-residential living - we have ensured each floor plan is expansive and light-filled, offering that perfect balance of comfort and functionality,&quot; Goldman said.

&quot;Our mantra from day one, was to create the very best residential project McKinnon has been presented with. We focus on doing things right and the results have followed. It is extremely satisfying for the whole development team to have achieved such a lofty goal.&rdquo;

Render v reality: How BCENTRAL's finished apartments stack up against its plans

Soaring Melbourne house prices have got the downsizer demographic&nbsp;questioning whether now is the best time they'll get to let go of the family home.

And that's certainly the case in the Glen Eira precinct, with Heath Thompson, director at Projects by Buxton, saying there's been a&nbsp;strong response from apartment buyers in recent weeks.

"Off the plan buying provides&nbsp;significant stamp duty savings for owner occupiers and the opportunity to secure a property at today’s market value and sell their home at later date to take advantage of capital growth in a rising market makes a lot of sense.”

<div>
Urban have wrapped up four of the best apartments and townhomes&nbsp;on the market in the Glen Eira LGA. 
 
1. <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/mckn-236-jasper-road-mckinnon">MCKN, McKinnon</a> 
Developer:&nbsp;Dealcorp 
Prices: Two bedroom apartments start from $720,000
</div>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4939]

The longstanding Melbourne developer Dealcorp will soon be seeing buyers move in to MCKN, their boutique apartment development in McKinnon.

The project, comprising just 41 apartments across its five levels, has been designed by the award-winning architects RITZ&amp;GHOUGASSIAN and is already 70 per cent sold ahead of its expected August completion.

MCKN has been a hit with families so far, as well as those planning to have kids, due to the size of each apartment and its proximity to&nbsp;McKinnon Secondary College, one of the state’s highest ranked schools. 
 
2. <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/awaken-30-32-rooding-street-brighton">Awaken, Brighton</a> 
Developer:&nbsp;Skelton 
Prices: Two bedroom apartment&nbsp;from $1.15 million

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30087]

Awaken is the latest luxury development by the developer Skelton. Leading Melbourne architect Travis Walton designed the building, set in landscaping by ACRE.

The facade's of the&nbsp;13 townhomes comprise locally-sourced European-styled brickwork and electro-bronze metal detailing.

3. <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/new-ormond-245-grange-road-ormond">New Ormond, Ormond</a> 
Developer: Sloane Property 
Prices: Three bedroom townhouses from $1,195,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28672]

New Ormond is the boutique townhouse project by Sloane Property, who have had Megowan Architectural create the development of just seven townhomes which sit in gardens by John Patrick Landscaping.

Slated for completion in July 2022, the townhomes each have three upstairs bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area which opens to a landscaped courtyard, and a lock-up garage for two cars.

4.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/alia-240-250-mckinnon-road-mckinnon">Alia, McKinnon</a> 
Developer: BCentral 
Prices: Three bedroom apartments from $1.19 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24686]

The recently completed Alia in McKinnon, designed by the well regarded Bruce Henderson Architects, only has a handful of apartments left in the boutique McKinnon Road development.

Also popular for its&nbsp;proximity to&nbsp;McKinnon Secondary College, Alia is located less than 200 metres from McKinnon Station and boasts&nbsp;never to be built out views of the city skyline, bay and ranges.

Soaring Melbourne house prices have got the downsizer demographic questioning whether now is the best time to sell

The top four properties on the market in Melbourne's Glen Eira

In the heart of Melbourne's south-eastern bayside area is <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/alia-240-250-mckinnon-road-mckinnon">ALIA</a> by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/bcentral">BCENTRAL</a>, a boutique 30 apartment development setting a new benchmark for luxury multi-residential living in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/mckinnon-vic">McKinnon</a>.

The market is clearly signalling support for the project which is well over 60% sold including a suburb record for the near $2million full-floor penthouse sale prior to launch, in addition to several recent sub-penthouse sales well over $1million.

Chris Pulvirenti, a Director of Valuation at Savills Australia said, "the market for the right products, carefully designed by experienced operators  was  progressing most steadily as buyers reacted positively to projects that satisfied the right criteria."
