Recently we were invited to visit the newly completed Focus by Central Equity. It's not every day a new apartment building hits the market in central Melbourne, so this is a property tour you won't want to miss.

Watch our apartment tour:

FOCUS AT A GLANCE

Address: 81 City Road, Southbank VIC 3006
Developer: Central Equity
Architect: Doig Architecture

Living in Southbank puts you right at the centre of the city's world-class facilities. You can walk to the Royal Botanic Gardens, South Melbourne Market, and in the evening enjoy a picturesque dinner along the riverside or see a show at the adjacent arts precinct, which is undergoing a $1.7B rejuvenation.

Each apartment boasts 2.7 metre high ceilings, which paired with floor-to-ceiling double glazed windows make the room feel light and spacious while also giving you a great view of the city. 

Extensive acoustic engineering also ensures each living area is quiet, despite being in the heart of the city. 

In the kitchen, you've got Miele appliances, German Hansa tapware and a Fisher & Paykel dish drawer. 

There's also a beautiful composite stone benchtop, plenty of integrated storage and LED feature lighting. 

The resident facilities at Focus are similar to those you'd find at a resort. The pool is heated, and the glass-roofed ceiling lets in plenty of natural light, making it the perfect spot to hang out year-round. 

You've also got a gymnasium and sauna, a resident's lounge, a landscaped barbeque terrace and even a 17-seat theatre.  

Some other cool features to note are that as a resident, you'll have secure keyless access to the resident facilities and the building, there's a 24-hour concierge at the lobby, and you've got three high-speed lifts – which is a bonus you wouldn't normally consider, but it makes all the difference. 

Central Equity is a Melbourne-owned development company that has delivered over 80 projects in the past 35 years, giving them a competitive edge when it comes to knowing what buyers want and how to create a home that they will enjoy living in.
