Rosella Murrumbeena apartments snapped up as construction advances
Rosella, the only new apartment development in Melbourne's Murrumbeena, is gathering significant traction in both its sales and construction.
Over half of the 70 apartments have already sold in the Rosella Street project by Damgar Property Group which is slated for completion in late 2025.
Rosella, designed by Cera Stribley and ideally located across the road from Hughesdale Station and Hughesdale Village, presents a rare opportunity to buy brand new in the south-East Melbourne suburb.
Only 100 new apartments were delivered between the 2016 and 2021 census, primarily due to a scarcity of development sites.
Cera Stribley crafted Rosella's facade to feature a combination of rough-cast concrete, dark terrazzo, and warm copper accents.
The idea was to mirror the curves of the underpasses at Hughesdale Station, while also using different materials and tones to differentiate the ground-level podium, which will be home to several commercial tenancies, with the residential component above.
The curved facade informs the interiors of each apartment, with visually appealing curved interior walls, a feature more commonly found in higher-end apartment developments.
The apartments have open plan kitchen, living and dining spaces that open to large terraces.
At seven levels, Rosella will be one of the tallest buildings in the area, so Cera Stribley has created a communal rooftop space with outdoor kitchen and alfresco dining that will offer views over the neighbouring suburbs and back to Melbourne.
Rosella residents will be on the doorstep of Hughedale Village which has several cafes, a wine bar, The O.C Public Bar and Hellenic Depot across the road.
Within a three-minute drive is Chadstone Shopping Centre, the biggest shopping centre in Australia.
Builder Markscon is progressing well with construction. Buyers are expected to move in before Christmas 2025.
