Display Suite Tour: Inside the Highett Common masterplanned development by Sunkin Property Group
Highett Common by Sunkin Property Group is set to rise from one of the best spots in Bayside, connected to both extensive public transport, amenity, and the beach.
We recently visited the Highett Common display suite at 37 Graham Road to look at the project in more detail.
In a city like Melbourne, where public transport is so good, buying a home in an up-and-coming fringe suburb is always an astute choice. Highett is a prime example – you're close to the beach, there's a thriving hub of bars and eateries, and you can hop on the train and be in the city in under 40 minutes.
Architecturally designed by famed Melbourne-based design practice ClarkeHopkinsClarke, Highett Common's thoughtful masterplan offers provisions for sustainable living, verdant green spaces and apartments crafted using the finest quality materials.
Whether you're after a one, two or three-bedroom apartment, Highett Common has a range of intuitive floorplans to choose from. What I love is that all apartments have been thoughtfully oriented with floor-to-ceiling glazing to make the most of the parkland views – it's the kind of attention to detail that comes with great design.
The 9.3-hectare masterplan includes a Conservation Reserve, a one-hectare public park and playground and a new community library – with walkways taking you through leafy, tree-lined corridors and boulevards. In fact, over 40 per cent of the site is dedicated to green open space.
At Highett Common, you'll also have access to multiple state-of-the-art gymnasiums with wellness areas and two luxurious swimming pools, one outdoor and one indoor – as well as residents' dining room and lounge perfect for hosting gatherings with friends and family.
You'll also have access to a platform that enables you to connect with your neighbours via a smart community app, enabling you to book amenities, receive project updates and alerts, join social clubs, sign up for fitness and wellness activities and access local business services.
As the first medium-density masterplanned, Net Zero Carbon community in Victoria, the all-electric development boasts solar panels for energy generation into the development, smart car charging capability, recycled rainwater for irrigation, sustainably sourced timber and steel and many more energy efficiency features.
Located at 37 Graham Road, Highett Station is literally a two-minute walk away; Highett Shopping Centre with a Woolworths supermarket and specialty shops right next door.
You can cycle to the beach and bay trail, and you're spoilt for choice when it comes to dining and bar options along Highett Road. Civil works across the whole masterplan are currently well underway, with completion of the first stage of Highett Common slated for mid-2025.
