Melbourne, renowned for its vibrant culture and bustling city life, has a new jewel in its crown with Far East Consortium's now complete West Side Place development.

Nestled on the corner of Spencer and Lonsdale Streets, the colossal project is Melbourne's largest residential development to date, delivering a life of luxury, convenience, and endless opportunities for its residents.

At the heart of West Side Place are four towers. Towers 1 and 2 combine thoughtful, lifestyle-focussed design with breathtaking views across the Docklands and Port Phillip Bay, while towers 3 and 4 offer spectacular views across the CBD and Flagstaff Gardens

Integrated lush garden plazas, shopping arcades and a central laneway create a dynamic urban environment that is teeming with life. Imagine stepping out of your apartment and finding a plethora of food and beverage options just steps away, all conveniently situated within the West Side Place precinct.

Beyond the development itself, the area surrounding West Side Place is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. From delightful culinary experiences to boutique shopping destinations and serene green spaces, residents are truly spoiled for choice. The vibrant community events further add to the rich tapestry of city life.

Location is key, and West Side Place has it nailed. Situated within the coveted University High School-Zone, the development is just a short walk from Flagstaff Gardens, Southern Cross Station, and the Free Tram Zone. This translates to the ultimate city living experience, where everything you need is right at your doorstep.

Southern Cross Station, located just across the road, ensures that residents have easy access to transportation, making it a breeze to explore the city and beyond, and for those who appreciate fine dining, premier restaurants are scattered throughout the neighbourhood, offering diverse culinary experiences. 

West Side Place's location is not just about convenience – it's about a world of entertainment and cultural experiences. The Yarra River is just a short walk from any direction, while Spencer Street and King Street, running parallel to each other, are lined with an array of retailers, cafes, and restaurants, each offering a unique culinary journey. From Korean to Indian and Modern Australian cuisine, there's something to please every palate within proximity.

Sports enthusiasts will be delighted to be just a stone's throw from Marvel Stadium, while world-class attractions such as the National Gallery of Victoria, The Lume, and Crown are easily reachable from West Side Place.

Inside West Side Place, residents can choose from a variety of apartment layouts, including one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus study, and multiple two-bedroom configurations. The apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and provide residents with views of the city and Port Phillip Bay.
