The Bradford, Kew - 365 Cotham Road, Kew

The Bradford in Kew presents an opportunity to join the ranks of one of the Melbourne’s most exclusive enclaves, with heritage overlays and planning controls limiting obtainability.

Developed by Jafari Property Group with a focus on those looking to downsize without compromising on quality and luxury appointments, The Bradford offers discerning buyers the chance to secure a blue-chip property and enhanced lifestyle, enjoying the area’s abundance of amenities and relaxed community atmosphere.

Surrounded by grand estates and mansions and tree-lined thoroughfares, The Bradford comprises 10 luxury residences curated by the highly-regarded Cera Stribley architecture and interior design studio.

Designed over three levels, the building integrates into the surrounding streetscape, cleverly divided into four smaller entities, with generously-proportioned single-level apartments, including two penthouses, ranging from 95 sqm to 227 sqm, with gardens and outdoor terraces from 13 sqm to 148 sqm, which add to the sense of light and space.

Euroka Toorak - 5 Brookville Road, Toorak

The Sydney-based developer, Sun Property Group, broke into the Melbourne apartment market with Euroka.

The renowned architect and design firm, Carr Design, has created the 10 luxury apartments, which features a robust form, with a gallery-like, three-tiered elevation. Each apartment has been designed with a unique aspect across the three levels.

Each residence prioritises natural light and airflow, with functionality at the heart of each floor plan.
