Frater keeps families in mind with South Kingsville townhouse development, Knew
Melbourne saw 26 suburbs join the million-dollar median club last year, with South Kingsville one of the recent entrants with the median house price reaching $1.04 million.
The suburb is known as the golden triangle, located between the West Gate Freeway, the Yarra River and the Bay. The geographic shape of South Kingsville represents fire, energy and success in all walks of life in Feng Shui philosophy, which local developer Frater Group have utilised as the vision for their latest residential development.
Named after its location at 82-96 New Street, Knew flows between the trendy café culture of Yarraville and the beachside havens of Port Phillip Bay, marking the intersection of urban living within waterside reach.
Designed by IN8 Architects, 32 residences will be delivered across the site, with a collection of two, three and four-bedroom apartments.
As a boutique suburb, South Kingsville serves up a melting pot of cuisine, from the award-winning Middle Eastern restaurant Dukkah, to soul food barbecue at Burn City Smokers, Italian pizza, pasta and gelato at Motorino Pizzeria and breakfast and coffee spots like go-to BlackSheep all nearby.
Frater knows it takes a village to raise a family, and with the residences focussed on attracting an owner-occupier market, South Kingsville is the education enclave families will want to be around.
With 11 schools sitting within a two kilometre radius, residents will be nearby to top ranking schools such as, Westbourne Grammar and Heatherdale Christian College, along with Suzanne Cory, which holds selective entry for academically gifted students.
It’s not just higher-educational offerings in the area drawing families in, with Knew set to also hold its own on-site childcare centre.
The South Kingsville childcare centre will allocate space to five children’s rooms as well as a cot room on the ground floor to give working families the assurance of long day care, with priority childcare placement in the district poised to double its population to 9,712 people by 2041.
Based in Melbourne, Frater Group has delivered a number of projects across the state, with residences from Preston, to Ivanhoe, and North Melbourne.
