Keystone Property Group's latest completed development, Ovation, offers a prime location in the heart of Footscray, providing residents with the advantages of inner-city living while maintaining a sense of individuality.

The project, comprising 131 residences, was built by Platinum Construction and was finished in September 2022.

Keystone Property Group, a well-known local developer, has already made a mark in the booming Footscray area with their previous successful projects, including The Buckley and Victoria Corner. 

The design of Ovation was entrusted to Kavellaris Urban Design (KUD), led by owner Billy Kavellaris. The vision behind the development was to pay homage to Footscray's unique architectural character while introducing a new level of design ingenuity to the area.

Ovation's building form stands out with its bold depiction of recessed voids, distinctive shapes, and protrusions. To enhance the aesthetic appeal, greenery has been strategically incorporated into the recesses on the façade, seamlessly blending the built form with lush, natural beauty.

John Patrick Landscape Architects contributed to the development by designing the verdant elements, further enhancing the overall aesthetic of the building.

Inside the apartments, residents can enjoy stunning views of the city skyline and the surrounding streetscapes through full-height windows that bathe the living spaces in ample sunlight. The interiors of Ovation have been meticulously crafted to create a harmonious connection with the outside environment.

The living spaces feature textured timber joinery and oak floors, exuding a neutral warmth that provides a versatile canvas for buyers to personalise with their own memories and style. The kitchen areas boast modern concrete-finished benchtops, combining style and durability, alongside abundant integrated storage.

Ovation benefits from its central location, with easy access to public transport, schools, dining options, and recreational amenities. Residents can enjoy the convenience of urban living while experiencing the unique character of Footscray.

All of the three-bedroom apartments are sold out, however there's a limited collection of one and two-bedroom apartments remaining.
