Rosella's prime location in Hughesdale Village
Murrumbeena, in Melbourne's southeast, is known for its wide, leafy streets, lined with Federation-era homes.
Hughesdale Village serves as the heart of both Murrumbeena and Hughesdale, with an array of shops, cafes, and Hughesdale Station.
What has been missing in the area is a new apartment development, which is what prompted joint venture partners Progressio and Damgar Property Group to explore the opportunities available as close as possible to the village.
They secured a prime site at 50 Rosella Street, on the corner of Poath Road, just a stone's throw from the station and the Hellenic Depot, the popular Greek restaurant and bar. They commissioned Cera Stribley to design Rosella, 70 one, two and three-bedroom apartments when completed later this year.
Cera Stribley was inspired by the adjacent Hughesdale Station when designing Rosella. The seven-level building features a façade of rough-cast concrete, dark terrazzo, and warm copper accents, reflecting the architectural character of the Hughesdale Station underpasses.
Each apartment has been designed to maximise natural light and livability, featuring large balconies and terraces that provide excellent outdoor entertaining space
Inside, the apartments start at over 60 sqm for the one-bedroom units. Every apartment comes with at least one car space and is equipped with integrated Miele appliances and stone benchtops in the kitchens.
Rosella residents will be spoiled for choice with Murrumbeena Village just moments away, along with six new retail tenancies on the ground level. These are expected to include a variety of restaurants, cafes, and wine bars.
The location is exceptionally well-connected, with Rosella residents just 20 minutes from the CBD by train, direct from Hughesdale Station.
Murrumbeena Park and its playground, as well as a variety of dining options like Murrumbeena Wine Bar, are all within a 10-minute walk.
Chadstone Shopping Centre, the largest indoor shopping centre in Australia, is just one kilometre up Poath Road. Known as 'Chaddy', the retail precinct boasts over 550 stores, around 100 restaurants and cafes, a fresh food market, and a full entertainment quarter featuring escape rooms, dodgems, mini-golf, a cinema, and bowling.
Rosella is progressing well with construction and is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
