Prospective buyers are welcomed into the suite with a series of architectural models, illustrating Escala’s place within MAB Corporation’s master-planned community. While this particular display suite is not a full model home, the impeccable attention to detail within every aspect of the showroom will give buyers a great understanding of how the apartments will look upon completion.

Escala NewQuay is the highly anticipated addition to Melbourne’s Docklands. The multi-residential development raises the bar for modern city living with innovative design, quality building and a focus on community living.

The development is one of the first projects in Melbourne to take on board the Victorian government’s Better Apartments Design Standards. By meeting the architectural criteria, apartments will have liveability at the forefront of design, meaning more spacious, light-filled interiors.

A staggering 75% of the 173 residences have already sold, with buyers drawn in by the developer’s commitment to quality, and unique residential offering.

Escala NewQuay lofts, apartments and SOHOs

Designed by Six Degrees Architects, the development comprises one, two- and three-bedroom configurations, with a range of apartments, lofts and SOHOs (home offices) on offer.

Escala NewQuay is a stone's throw to the brand-new District Docklands shopping precinct where residents enjoy perusing the open-air shops, catch a movie at the newly established Hoyts cinema, or pick up some fresh produce at The Market. The new Docklands market will feature meat purveyors, bakery treats, a delicatessen, coffee roasters and 25 specialty retailers.

Residents can also access the free City Circle tram and the Capital City Bike Trail, which are right on Escala NewQuay’s doorstep. Within walking distance is Marvel Stadium, Flagstaff Gardens and Library at the Dock.

For those who travel a lot, the trip will be made even more seamless with access to the convenient Skybus Airport Shuttle, which picks up NewQuay residents from its District Docklands stop every half an hour. For families looking to move to NewQuay, a brand new Docklands Primary School with Giraffe Early Learning Centre is scheduled to open soon.

Homes start at $609,000 with an anticipated development completion of 2021. Want to learn more about Escala NewQuay? Reach out to the sales agent today.
