Orion International Group's Summus apartments in Maribyrnong was a landmark building when it was completed in 2018.

The three-tower, mixed-use development is among one of the tallest in Maribyrnong, comprises a mix of apartments, townhouses, and 45 hotel rooms currently operated by Quest.

Towering above its surroundings, Summus stands tall as one of Maribyrnong’s most distinctive landmarks, offering panoramic views that stretch across Melbourne's inner realms and the city skyline. 

The strategic location of Summus amplifies its allure. With tram and bus stops conveniently positioned just outside the building, urban connectivity is at your doorstep. Nestled in the heart of Maribyrnong, this emerging hotspot effortlessly combines the tranquility of riverside living with the vibrancy of city life.

The world-renowned Highpoint Shopping Centre, a stone's throw away, ensures that retail therapy and culinary exploration are always within easy reach. The verdant Maribyrnong riverbanks beckon for leisurely strolls, and an eclectic array of restaurants and eateries cater to every palate.

The light-filled floorplans are a canvas for the carefully curated high-quality fixtures and fittings that adorn each apartment. The large double glazed windows not only flood the interiors with natural light but also ensure a serene and peaceful living experience.

The focus on comfort and luxury is clear in every aspect, with standalone car spaces and storage cages ensuring convenience without compromise. And for those seeking more, additional car spaces are available for lease, catering to the unique needs of every resident.

Summus is not just a place to live; it's a place to thrive. The communal garden retreat and entertaining area at the heart of the development offer a serene sanctuary for residents. Whether it's a quiet escape under the shade of a tree or a vibrant get-together with friends, this space effortlessly transforms to suit any mood.

Overlooking the lush gardens, a private lounge and dining room invite residents to host dinner parties, leisurely weekend lunches, or casual gatherings, creating a sense of community that is the hallmark of Summus living.
