Everything you need to know about the brand-new Port Melbourne development, Port Lane

A coastal community with an urban flair, Port Lane is a collection of expertly designed three-bedroom townhomes in Port Melbourne.

The project draws on its beachside locations to deliver serene and sophisticated residences and a real sense of community.

At an entry price of just $1,025,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, Port Lane offers residents incredible value at a reasonable price.

Urban takes a look at everything buyers should know about the new development in Melbourne.

1. High-quality developers

Listed amongst Urban’s list of 10 developers to watch in Victoria this year, ID_Land delivers high-quality communities of varied scale and complexity, and Port Lane is no exception.

Founded in 2009, the group competes against the industry’s leading players and boasts a diverse development pipeline in excess of $2 billion.

2. Community feel

First home buyers who are looking for quick access to green space and a real sense of community should feel confident in the amenities at Port Lane.

“At Port Lane, coming home feels like landing in a safe haven,” the project marketing reads, with an entrance pergola marking residents’ arrival.

Offering manicured pocket parks, residents can bask in the sunshine, explore the gardens or invite friends to a barbeque.

3. Carefully designed apartments

“Creating spaces that evoke an atmospheric interior experience, Port Lane celebrates light, softness, subtlety and shifting forms”, said the interior designer, Paul Hecker of Hecker Guthrie.

The home’s considered design features an abundance of light and space to allow for private moments, outdoor entertaining areas and fluted glass to mimic the reflective water of the Bay.

4. Exteriors designed by award-winning architects

Designed by Rothelowman, the exteriors of each three-bedroom residence complement the coastal surrounds.

The material palette of crisp white juxtaposed against warm timber tones and green accents create a sense of modernity and nod to the site’s heritage.

Secure car parking, flexible floorplans and manicured gardens are among the project’s many offerings.  

5. Curated landscaping

Selected by landscape architects, Tract, the development features a mix of native plants suited to the coastal environment.

Designed to soften the modern architecture, Tract’s landscaping sits in harmony with the Port Melbourne community and contrasts the built form of the homes.

6. Ideal beachside location

Located just moments from the glistening waters of Port Phillip Bay, Port Lane is just a five-minute walk to Port Melbourne Beach. Port Lane’s absolute connectivity places Melbourne at your fingertips with the CBD just a 20-minute tram trip away.

In all directions, residents are spoilt for choice with the numerous lifestyle amenities of the surrounding suburbs.

Live the active life with morning runs at Albert Park Lake, long afternoon walks at the Royal Botanic Gardens, or weekend bike rides around the coast and parklands.
