Tucked into a leafy pocket nearby the lively Ashburton village hub and a stone’s throw from the convenience of the Ashwood retail strip, KM Develop’s Chapter residences have been designed with a nod to community, connection and convenience.

Residents of Chapter will be spoilt for choice with much to do right on their doorstep with village living at the focus.

Surrounded by world-class cafes and dining, three pristine parks for respite and recreation, with Ashburton Park, Warner and Markham Reserves, as well as top-notch schools, everything needed to live well is here.

A mere five minutes away is the Ashburton station, where a train can take you right to the CBD in just 40 minutes.

KM Develop was established in 2013 to harness the knowledge gained after years of prior experience in managing complex development projects and investments.

An arm of professional services investment and advisory firm, KordaMentha, they are committed to developing the highest quality projects.

Chapter delivers an exclusive collection of just 24 one, two and three-bedroom residences at 363-367 High Street, Ashburton – the centre of Melbourne’s thriving southeast.

KM Develop’s ethos is one of quality and connectedness.

‘"Our residences are more than just attractive properties to live in — they are communities of people, places of rest and retreat, and spaces to create memories," KM Develop’s Managing Director Steven Wong says.

"We think about comfort, about the space, about the floorplan and the quality of living. We think about who your neighbours will be, the nearby parks and cafes you can walk to, and the everyday amenity that makes living better," Wong says, adding that Chapter is no exception.

Wong says people love living in Ashburton because of its great vibe and a strong sense of community.

The architecture mavens at Ewert Leaf have designed spaces bathed in natural light with seamless access to private al fresco hideaways.

High-quality fixtures and fittings are standard throughout, with Managing Director, Will Leaf saying the organic palettes of warm timbers and natural stone were inspired by the leafy surroundings of the nearby Gardiner’s Creek as well as local parks and reserves set in amongst the heart of Ashburton.

The outdoor space is no less impressive, blending stylishly into the streetscape and softening the smooth facade with a curated selection of lavish greenery.

Chapter is being marketed and sold by Mike Cannon-Brookesrector, Jarrod Farey, who says Chapter is a high-quality boutique development in a fantastic location.

“We’ve had strong success to date,” he said.

“The majority of buyers are downsizers and owner-occupiers attracted by the amenities surrounding the project, the generous apartment sizes and the design quality and value.”

Further, KM Develop recognized an opportunity to fill a gap for high-end apartments similar to those found in Glen Iris, Malvern and Camberwell.

Completion of Chapter residences is slated for fourth quarter, 2023.
