Property developers Golden Age Group know how to deliver something more than just a stock-standard residential development. 

Their most recent Glen Waverley project Floret is brimming with amenity, while just down the road, the group’s Sky Garden project has been envisioned as a place to live unlike anywhere else in Australia. 

Inspired by the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood, Sky Garden is nestled high above The New Glen shopping centre in the heart of one of Melbourne’s most coveted eastern suburbs.

The New Glen is evolving. Melbourne’s most impressive retail centre will soon be home to a two-level dining precinct, a fresh food market hall and a selection of more than 240 specialty retail stores.

From the amenity of Sky Garden itself to the abundant options of The New Glen and the surrounding vibrant suburb of Glen Waverley, everything residents will need is never too far from the steps of the precinct. 

Each of the communal spaces in Sky Garden are designed as a natural extension of the homes. 

Reminiscent of finest luxury resorts across the world, Sky Garden Club, delivers unparalleled private and dramatic entertaining and relaxing spaces. 

Relaxation and wellness are part of daily life at Sky Garden, with an open plan yoga studio, outdoor Tai Chi areas, a sauna and a steam room. An elegantly appointed library and intimate study areas add an array of options for residents to break away into, coupled with private lounges and an expansive outdoor terrace. 

Keeping active is easy at Sky Garden with a fully equipped gym, studio and dedicated outdoor fitness areas as well as a pool designed to bask in abundant natural light.

Residents will also be able to reserve a private dining room and terrace, allowing them to invite friends and relatives to a barbecue or enjoy meals outside in a lush outdoor setting. 

The latest big screen movies, sports and video games are all on offer in Sky Garden’s private cinema, in addition to spaces set aside for private gaming and games such as poker, Mahjong, chess and cards. 

It’s not just inside Golden Age are developing a curated lifestyle through amenity. 

While the apt name of the project may have already hinted at it, Sky Garden is of course home to a number of considered and landscaped gardens, with the podium botanic gardens unlike anything seen in apartment developments across Australia. 

A place to relax amid the beautiful resident-only gardens, Sky Garden takes contemporary urban living to a new level. Offering a place to entertain, relax and unwind, the podium outdoor spaces at Sky Garden have been designed with all generations in mind.

With a north and south garden, set across 4,000 sqm of elevated and open space, residents have ample space to breakaway and relax in. 

The northern gardens have a focus on socialising, from a play space designed for children to sun lounges where older residents can relax into the evening surrounded by feature lighting. A bar and kitchen allow for easy entertaining, while a vegetable garden allows residents to enjoy getting back to nature.

The southern gardens feature a range of outdoor spaces, from large lawn areas to private dining spaces, with outdoor kitchen and fitness areas. Set among lush greenery and water features, these gardens offer an opportunity to relax, entertain and stay healthy.
