Olea, the latest apartment project by the local development firm BNG Group, occupies prime position a stones throw from the iconic Caulfield Racecourse, one of the city's most notable landmarks.

The Kambrook Road address of just 11 apartments designed by C&K Architects is just 750 metres from the turf, which has around 25 race days each season and hosts some of the Australia's most famous and historic races including the Caulfield Cup, Caulfield Guineas and the Blue Diamond Stakes.

Olea's location is not just sought-after for its proximity to the track. Even closer to Olea to the north is Caulfield Park, the largest park in Glen Eira which has seven sports ovals, three pavilions, sports training facilities, and three playgrounds.

Caulfield is one of Glen Eira's most popular suburbs, offering both gentrification with new restaurants and cafes, while retaining its village charm just 13km south of the Melbourne CBD. Caulfield is well connected to the rest of Melbourne, with Caulfield Station just 750 metres away from Olea's front door.

Marshall White Projects Director Mark Dayman says the infrastructure of Caulfield North and the surrounding suburbs has led the area to an amazing transformation in recent times.

There's extensive education options in Caulfield, from well regarded primary and secondary schools through to Monash University. There's also Monash's Museum of Art. 

Olea is also just minutes away from a number of shopping experiences, like Chadstone Shopping Centre and the High Street shopping strip.

The apartments, which start from $589,000 for the near 60 sqm two-beds, were completed just a few months ago by BNG Group, who have been developing across Melbourne since 2014.
