Construction commences on Greensborough's Albero apartment development

Construction is underway at the new Greensborough apartment development, Albero, in the leafy suburb north-east of Melbourne.

Albero will comprise 45 contemporary residences developed by Citinova, with the design a collaboration between prominent architecture firm Point Architects and designers InvoDesign and Biasol.

The development, 17 kilometres from Melbourne and set in the growing suburb which blends greenery, amenity and a lively entertainment hub, was designed to connect to its wider surroundings.

“Albero is conceived through a deep understanding of its local context, we wanted to encapsulate a sense of place within the interior design with a strong connection to the abundant parklands of Greensborough and design a life with all the necessities to live simply, in comfort and style,” Biasol said when discussing the vision for the residences.

Comprising a sculpted façade, forming the illusion of a floating exterior, Alberto displays a silhouette form, with bold linework that frames the development amongst the setting.  

Soft timber accents and natural finishes have also been incorporated to complement the leafy surrounds and bring a sense of nature to the residences.

With sustainability at the forefront of the design, each residence at Albero features energy efficient appliances, use of recycled rainwater and expansive double-glazed windows that allow for an abundance of natural light to flood the interior spaces.

Green landscaping cascades down the façade, providing a visual connection to the surrounding parklands, while the generously sized balconies act as an extension of the homes, allowing for indoor-outdoor living.

The top two levels of Albero will be dedicated to open communal spaces.

One, two and three-bedroom apartments are available at Albero, which is expected to be completed by mid-2023.
