Five reasons why buyers should be looking at South Melbourne apartments, Vivére on Dorcas
Vivére on Dorcas is the latest mixed-use development to hit South Melbourne, offering a new home for residents to enjoy every dimension of vibrancy this most enviable postcode has on offer.
Situated within walking distance of Melbourne’s Art Precinct, this South Melbourne development adeptly echoes the Latin roots of its name, “to live”.
Urban takes a look at five reasons why Vivére on Dorcas should be on a buyers shortlist.
1. Hotel, commercial and residential in one
Not often comes an opportunity where hotel, commercial and residential finds its way into one project.
Soaring above South Melbourne’s Voco Hotel, Vivére is a new collection of 36 upscale residences delivered by BEKL, Amazon Property Group’s Australian operation.
Voco is operated and managed by internationally renowned IHG, offering premium room services, and a range of recreational amenities extended to residents of Vivére, including a gym, a sociable restaurant and bar.
2. Collaboration between top architects at Plus
Vivére is a collaboration between Plus Architect’s director-architect Jessica Liew and interior designer Ivona Golubovic.
The 20-storey building forms a sculptural façade and harnesses the exquisite sightline from the east to west with elegant curves and segments.
Founded in 1997, Plus Architecture boasts a thoughtful and professional approach to design that delivers community-responsive, energy-efficient, beautiful residences crafted around the habits and lifestyles of real people.
“The design prioritises light-filled, practical, considered spaces that denote the meaning of home in a luxury or uber-premium package”, the project marketing reads.
3. Sought-after address
According to BEKL, choosing South Melbourne was an easy decision.
“The address only a stretch from the city centre, offers a lifestyle that is rich and cultured, yet distant enough to procure residents a way of life that is effortless, down to earth, and family friendly”, the developers said.
Located in an elusive pocket of South Melbourne, Vivére enjoys a closeness to Melbourne’s cultural offerings, from street art to live music, gardens to sporting matches.
4. Flawless interiors
Apartment interiors combine artful design with luxury finishes, including statement bathrooms, bespoke kitchens and considered floorplans.
Oversized floor-to-ceiling windows ensure optimal natural lighting, while state-of-the-art V-Zug appliances and a Verde Riviera Quartzite kitchen island complement the opulent exterior.
Each residence features engineered wooden floors and wool-blend carpeting, while private balconies deliver panoramic street views and elevated living experiences.
5. A range of exclusive and local amenities
Vivére on Dorcas is a true advocator of a healthy lifestyle, boasting a range of local and exclusive resident-only amenities.
A well-equipped in-house gym, as well as the central location of Vivére, offer opportunities to work-out, cycle on two wheels, or jog around Melbourne’s iconic Tan Track.
Situated only two kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, off the northern end of St Kilda Road, the development presents a wealth of local amenities close at hand.
These include a range of convenient transport options, including both tram and train lines, as well as the new underground Anzac Train Station expected to reach completion after the construction of Vivére.
