New Glen Iris townhouse development Lori approaches sellout ahead of Christmas move-in

Glen Iris is one of the most family friendly suburbs in Melbourne.

The small seven square kilometre pocket 10km south east of the Melbourne CBD, is an attractive proposition for those with children due to the convenient access to the city, some of the best schools in the state, and a leafy, suburban feel which isn't often found in suburbs this close to the city.

ABS census data shows over 60 per cent of households have children.

Despite being just seven square kilometres, there's a massive 26 parks scattered across Glen Iris, the best for kids being Ferndale Park with an upgraded kids playground built into a hill.

Private girls secondary schools Korowa Anglican Girls' School is ranked as the seventh best private school in the state, while St Cecilia's Primary School and Glen Iris Primary School are ranked 11th and 24th respectively.

Why Glen Iris offers the best lifestyle for families, and what they can buy

Glen Iris in Melbourne's inner east is well known for its leafy streets, charming period homes, and family-friendly atmosphere.

Developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/lk-property-group">LK Property Group</a>, led by billionaire NBL owner Larry Kestelman, identified a small pocket where they knew future residents of their recently launched townhouse development, Lori, would be able to take advantage of the best <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/glen-iris-vic">Glen Iris</a> has to offer.

In 2021 they snapped up an unusually shaped 1,120 sqm site on Malvern Road, an irregular site which allowed for a creative design of eight townhouses set well back from the street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114100 project_image_fid=246532]

Lori, at 1610 Malvern Road, sits opposite a direct laneway through to Gardiners Creek where there's the Gardiners Creek Trail, a 40-minute trail to the city, as well as Nettleton Dog Park and Howard Dawson Reserve.

Just 500 metres down Malvern Road is the popular independent craft brewery Deeds Brewery, as well as the Glen Iris Station, connecting future Lori residents to the city in around 20 minutes.

On the way to the station is Platform Espresso, the popular commuter coffee stop, while just past the station is the hospitality strip on Malvern Road. There's&nbsp;That Greek Tavern, Pimento Thai Cuisine, Beans Republique, bagels and pastries at 3146 Bagels or AM Bakehouse, Italian pizza at Teo's, dinner at Hen's House, and a nightcap at Milton Wine Shop. They all sit within less than 500 metres from Lori.

Glen Iris is a well established, family friendly community, and with that comes excellent schools. The likes of Caulfield Grammer, Sacre Coeur, Auburn High, and Korowa Anglican Girls' School which all feature in the states top 10 per cent best schools list.

There's close physical amenity in the form of&nbsp;the TH King Oval, the aforementioned Gardiners Creek Trail, Gardiner Tennis Court, and Harold Holt Pool, which is just over one kilometre away from Lori.

Lori will be inkeeping with the wider Glen Iris community. The&nbsp;100-year old trees on the site will be preserved, creating a tree canopy from Lori's master suites located on the upper level

Each Lori townhouse will have three bedrooms across two levels, as well as parking for two cars.

The Miele-appointed kitchens feature a highly functional and adaptable open cupboard with plenty of storage space. The location of the kitchen&nbsp;allows for entertaining from the kitchen's terrazzo and natural stone benchtops to flow into the dining and living spaces.

Roger Poole, Chairman of Bates Smart, said the façade is a combination of reflective high-performance glass and a fine metallic finish, divided into graduated groupings that draw the eye upwards, bringing pattern and variety to the façade.

"The design modulates the view, providing a unique perspective from each residence and an ephemeral presence for external viewers., Poole said.

“At the upper levels, the penthouses occupy a singular ellipse that allows for unobstructed panoramic views of the CBD through to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/port-phillip-vic">Port Philip Bay</a>, the Dandenong Ranges, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/toorak-vic">leafy Toorak</a> and down the historic spine of Chapel Street."

Bates Smart's Director and Interior Designer Jeff Copolov said, inside the apartments, lobbies, and residential amenity areas they have&nbsp;curated a timeless and contemporary interior design.

"Schemes are comprised of modern restrained colour palettes able to provide a neutral backdrop to residents’ varied furniture and artwork collections. The finishes are rich, layered and textural. The detailing is crafted and bespoke. Materials are high quality with a luxurious feel," Copolov said.&nbsp;

One, two and three-bedroom apartments are still available in the completed South Yarra tower, with prices starting from&nbsp;$579,000.
