There's nothing like a boost of confidence in a project when the penthouse sells.

It tells other prospective buyers someone is so confident in what's being developed that they're wanting to buy the most expensive apartment in the building.

Melbourne developer Salter Brothers has sold all of the penthouses crowning their new Ivanhoe apartment development, Candela.

Candela has proven popular with a range of buyers, given it's diverse mix of apartment configurations and price points. It offers loft-style, one-bedroom apartments, right through to the now spoken for penthouses.

The spacious floor plans are designed to accommodate young families, multi-generational living, downsizers, and couples seeking a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle with ample space for guests.

The well-appointed kitchens feature Miele appliances, including a stainless steel dishwasher and refrigerator.

Candela's convenient location at the gateway of Ivanhoe Village further enhances its appeal. With a Walk Score of 90 out of 100, Candela is a "walker's paradise," allowing residents to take in the best the suburb has to offer, all without a car.

The nearby Ivanhoe train and bus station can be reached within a short 6-minute stroll, making commuting a breeze, while the surrounding parklands, cafes and restaurants, which trail along Upper Heidelberg Road are also within easy reach. 

Beyond its practicality, Ivanhoe is also known for its rich history and reputation as an education enclave, housing some of Melbourne's finest public and private schools, making Candela an attractive option for families.

Candela boasts a 7-star energy rating, with the John Demos-designed residences crafted to maximise natural light and cross flow ventilation.

Residents will also benefit from a range of amenities within Candela, including an in-house cade, an atrium, wine bar, providore, and a rooftop garden which takes in expansive views across Ivanhoe and toward the city skyline.
