A day in the life of a resident at Maléa, Malvern East's newest luxury apartment development
True parkside apartment projects don't come around too often. And when they do, they tend to be high density, given the cost of the land is considerably premium.
Not Maléa, the newest apartment development in Malvern East by the newly formed Abadeen Victoria.
Abadeen Victoria, the Victoria office of the longtime Sydney luxury apartment developer Abadeen which is being run by Melbourne local development identity Andrew Leoncelli, has launched just seven parkside apartments on Central Park.
“Abadeen Victoria chose Maléa because of its incredible location opposite Central Park in the beating heart of Malvern East," Leoncelli says.
"We are committed to delivering a project of exceptional quality in this dynamic and thriving community across from one of the great heritage parks moments from all the very best that Melbourne has to offer."
Located at 94 Burke Road, residents will be just a short walk away from the vibrant Malvern East village, where they will find everything they need, from corner stores and newsagents to exceptional cafes and some of the state's finest Italian restaurants—Grazia Restaurant and Via Fratelli.
For a broader shopping experience, residents can quickly drive to the bustling Glenferrie Road shopping strip or explore the stylish retail offerings on High Street Armadale. Chadstone is also easily accessible via Dandenong Road.
Offering a sanctuary from the bustling city, the park provides a serene environment at Maléa's doorstep.
Residents can kick start their day with coffee from Cannoli and Co., preparing them for a morning stroll along Central Park's walking track or a stroll through the tree-lined streets of Malvern East.
There's also the Hedgeley Dene Gardens, one of the most popular parks in Malvern East which showcases an informal, picturesque English garden.
As lunchtime approaches, the vibrant local gem, Grazia, awaits residents for an authentic Italian dining experience.
In the evening, residents can conveniently walk to Riserva Wine, just six minutes away, for post-dinner drinks, providing the perfect nightcap.
"It's an amazing community hub at your doorstep, and being opposite Central Park Road, one of the best in all of the Gascoigne Estate presents one of the last opportunities to secure a park-fronted luxury residence. We are very excited to bring this to the market," Leoncelli said.
Young families will also appreciate Maléa's proximity to public and exclusive private schools. Notable schools within one kilometre include St Mary's School, Lloyd Street Primary School, Sacre Coeur, Oakwood School, and Monash University.
Designed by Ewert Leaf, Maléa comprises only seven park-fronted three-bedroom apartments and a penthouse, with prices starting at $2.6 million. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2025.
