Abbotsford

Salta Properties has announced the topping out and completion of the main structural works at its riverfront development, Walmer, at 649 Victoria Street, Abbotsford.

Prominent builders, Hamilton Marino have been tasked with constructing the Yarra River bend development, which will deliver an unrivalled living experience, according to Salta Managaing Director, Sam Tarascio.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3475 project_image_fid=150827]

&ldquo;This milestone marks another achievement for Walmer, which has seen strong interest largely from owner occupier purchasers throughout construction, bringing the development to 65 per cent sold,&rdquo; he said.

Tarascio attributes the popularity of the development to its luxurious offerings, which are the work of revered architects, Bates Smart, along with the site&rsquo;s prime river frontage.

&ldquo;Walmer is a reminder of what true sophistication is, weaving hotel-like splendour into the development&rsquo;s natural urban river sanctuary, creating contemporary and luxurious comforts that are sympathetic to its natural surrounds,&rdquo; Tarascio added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3475 project_image_fid=150789]

The project recently received a Commendation for Design Excellence at The Urban Development Institute of Australia&#39;s (UDIA) Awards, due in part to Walmer&rsquo;s focus in delivering flexible spaces that can pivot and flex to suite a wide buyer type.

Salta has also refined the project, amalgamating apartments from the initial 75 that were proposed, to now 61.

Standing as a threshold between the vibrancy of Victoria Street and the tranquillity of the Yarra River corridor, Walmer&rsquo;s resort-style, nature-influenced experience offers an impressive list of premium amenities, including a porte-cochere entrance, a climate-controlled room for wine-tasting and storage, a complete health and wellness suite including a 25-metre swimming pool overlooking the river, a fully equipped gymnasium, steam room, sauna, treatment room, as well as business and resident dining facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3475 project_image_fid=150816]

Communal areas will also be fitted out with some of the country&rsquo;s best designer&rsquo;s pieces, including Melbourne-based lighting designer, Christopher Boots luxury furniture from Jarden and Kett Furniture, as well as unique photography from Brooke Holmes&rsquo; featuring her famous dramatic Australian landscapes.

Taking Walmer to another level is the integrated building management platform, WE Wumbo, which will provide peace of mind services and communication, adding another layer of luxury to the already impressive project.

Residents of Walmer are expected to take up residence in early 2023, with a limited number of riverfront apartments remaining, ranging from $600,000 to $5,250,000.

Salta Properties top out Yarra River apartment development, Walmer

Residents of Riverbank in Melbourne&#39;s Abbotsford have one of the most enviable addresses.

On the banks of the Yarra River, the Salta Properties development on Victoria Street&nbsp;has been designed by SJB Architects, in collaboration with Carr Design, to&nbsp;blend&nbsp;luxury riverfront living with inner-city residency.

Capturing the curves of the Yarra below, Riverbank is part of The Park House, which are&nbsp;two complementing buildings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=194167]

Perfectly positioned on the winding banks, Riverbank residents get&nbsp;direct access to the Capital City Bike Trail which runs alongside the Yarra River for almost 20 kilometres providing walking, running and cycling paths that connect Richmond and Abbotsford to the CBD and through Yarra Bend Park to Kew and Collingwood.

Located not far from the well-known&nbsp;Skipping Girl commercial building and across from Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre, Riverbank is positioned to enjoy the best Abbotsford has to offer.

The popular shopping strip on Glenferrie Road in Kew is a five-minute drive, while Xavier College is just seven-minutes by tram. The tram stop, on the doorstep of Riverbank, offers a convenient commute, while&nbsp;North Richmond station just a short walk away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=194168]

Swan Street wine bar and The Ugly Duckling is five-minutes away from the building, while dining is on the door of The Park House, with Victoria Street and Bridge Road restaurants all within walking distance.

Slightly further afield is&nbsp;the Southgate precinct and Crown Casino, just 10-minutes by car. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=194166]

Riverbank residents also get extensive amenity in the development.

The sustainable 6+ energy rated building&nbsp;features a number of resident-only amenities, including a swimming pool and gym, cinema, a lounge&nbsp;space, kid&#39;s playroom, bike workshop and even a vaunted golf simulation room.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=4136]

Capturing the curves of the Yarra River below, The Park House’s avant-garde design includes two apartment buildings, Riverbank and Riverbend, that individually complement and integrate with their surroundings.

On the banks of the Yarra River: What's around Riverbank, Abbotsford apartments

The importance of interior designers creating the spaces and details within apartments has never been more important to residential developers.

Salta Properties,&nbsp;one of Australia&#39;s largest privately owned companies, called in the very best for their residential development The Park House in Melbourne&#39;s Abbotsford.

Carr, led by the design guru Sue Carr, handled the interiors at The Park House, the Victoria Street development made up of&nbsp;two buildings, Riverbank and Riverbend. They are named after their location, a stones throw from the Yarra River and bordering the popular Main Yarra Trail.

Urban recently spoke with the interior design guru Sue Carr, discussing all of the design elements of Riverbank.

JR: What was the brief from Salta for the interiors of the apartments?

SC: With every new project, we always begin by asking &ndash; what is the demographic of the purchaser? What is the lifestyle shift? Where is the location?

At Carr, we passionately believe that good architecture and design can enrich lives and make a difference to those that use and engage with it.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=156263]

Every project is unique, so we take into consideration the client, brief, place, cost plan and timing. All these factors combine to produce a response that has at its core, a powerful concept and a logical outcome. We call this the &lsquo;Big Idea&rsquo;, which remains with the project from end-to-end and guides the outcome.

With The Park House development, we looked at the location and the natural environment for inspiration. This was the &lsquo;Big Idea&rsquo;.

Surrounded by some of Melbourne&rsquo;s most animated and exciting precincts, the development sits on the banks of the Yarra Bend parklands, in a green belt framed by massive plane and gum trees.

One of the great aspects of this site is its proximity to the river and the bike paths that run along it. There is a spine that allows you to ride, run, row, or walk without seeing a major road. We love this idea of coming home after a long day at work and feeling like you have stepped away from the city and into the country. You can access stillness and natural beauty without having to abandon the excitement of a cosmopolitan urban lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=156274]

In response, we wanted each home to be a private sanctuary. We wanted to create a warm and welcoming environment with textures and earthy tones.

For the design, we opted for a unified palette, where we used few materials as possible. This direction links all the individual spaces, creating a coherent overall offering achieved via subtle repetition of form, materiality, and texture.

The brief was not just to design beautiful apartments, but also address the vast amenities. The aim was to allow neighbouring residents to interact with one another, getting the most from the building in terms of comfort, entertainment and occupant wellbeing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29856 project_image_fid=89781]

JR: How early in the design phase do you and the architects collaborate? And why is earlier the better?

SC: The building fa&ccedil;ade reflects the ripples of the Yarra River. Although we did not literally carry this theme into the interiors like the architects, we responded to the site&rsquo;s natural surroundings with our own interpretation. Our materials, colours and textures respond to the immediate site context and its makeup.

JR: What really stands out for you about the design? What is your favourite feature?

SC: There is an understanding in our practice of the significance of detail in design. There are considered subtleties in The Park House that will unfold and come to be appreciated over time.

We really wanted the interiors &ndash; both public and private &ndash; to encourage people to slow down, to consider the spaces, and enjoy the transition from the street, bike path or car park, into their home. We wanted them to enjoy the process of switching off at the end of the day and engaging with their surroundings.

To achieve this, we created integrated lighting throughout each of the apartments and through the public walkways. It is subtle and soft.

In each apartment, we also designed a custom light that floats above the kitchen island bench. This provides a sculptural element to the interior while also projecting a soft, interesting light. The routed timber veneer in the joinery, adds another level of texture.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29856 project_image_fid=89769]

Exaggerated proportions in the kitchen splashback highlight the scale of porcelain and create a grand sense of scale. Metal detailing to joinery in the kitchen and bathroom adds a refined aesthetic. Recessed LED lighting showcases the feature porcelain in the bathroom and kitchen

Our intention was to create a space that had a true sense of home but also a memorable atmosphere. We want the residents to feel the connection with the landscape beyond, with the building and their apartment becoming a welcoming sanctuary for them to take in all this development has to offer.

JR: What part did you play in the design of the amenity? And what design principles were important in the shared spaces?

SC: The Park House has vast amenity. It offers spaces both inside and out for all purposes &ndash; relaxation, work, entertainment, solitude &ndash; and for all demographics. There is a children&rsquo;s area, a private lounge, a bar, a home theatre, a golf simulator, a pool, a spa &ndash; the list goes on and on.

While working with Salta, we were strongly informed by ideas about public and private space, and how these new emerging types of urban spaces are full of design possibilities.

For us, it was important that all these spaces seamlessly flow into one another. Many of the transitional spaces are dark and atmospheric, which ensures that as residents move into the light and open spaces, the sense of awe is enhanced by contrast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29856 project_image_fid=89782]

Animating the larger functional spaces is natural light, invited into the building as the sun moves across from the east to the west. These ever-changing light effects and connection to landscape combine to form remarkable spaces that lie somewhere between art, sculpture, and architecture. Larger format glazing frames the view beyond, maximising outlook.&nbsp;

Part of the beauty of this development is the way it negotiates opposites. There is an intentional contrast between light and dark material palette. Certain areas open to the surrounding landscape, with internal lounges spilling out onto alfresco terracing, leading down to the river. This encapsulates a luxurious sense of home, inviting the residents to settle into these more private but public amenity spaces. The amenities are the key to a truly unique lifestyle on the banks of the Yarra River.

On the flipside, darker spaces, such as the library and meeting rooms, employ a darker, masculine palette. These interiors are richly layered and create a warmth.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=4136]

"Our intention was to create a space that had a true sense of home but also a memorable atmosphere," Carr said.

Inside the Carr Design interiors of Riverbank apartments in Abbotsford: Urban chats with Sue Carr

SJB are one of Australia&#39;s most sought-after architecture firms for anything from mutli-residential apartment developments to commercial towers and luxury home builds.

They&#39;ve got two studios, in Sydney as well as Melbourne, and have been the brains behind the likes of Crown&#39;s luxury Waterfall apartments in Sydney and Kings Domain in Southbank.

One of their most recent designed was the&nbsp;Abbotsford apartment development The Park House, developed by the renowned Salta Properties, with a major influence in the design being the building&#39;s proximity to the Yarra River.

Urban spoke to SJB&#39;s Michael Bialek, who headed up the design team for The Park House, to discuss how it was created.

What was the brief from Salta for The Park House, and then more specifically Riverbank? How did it need to differ from Riverbend?

Salta&rsquo;s brief for the The Park House project was to deliver a quality residential development as the final piece for the wider Yarra Gardens precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=156385]

The project should provide significant improvements to the public realm through the provision of new visual and physical links from Victoria Street through to the Yarra River. Compromising over 500 apartments, the new buildings should respond positively to the landscaped character of the adjoining completed Green Square project and allow construction in stages towards the new proposed Walmer Plaza.

Riverbank addresses the &lsquo;urban edges&rsquo; of Victoria Street and Walmer Plaza, while Riverbend is less prominent &ndash; connected to the adjoining Green Square project and overlooking the bend in the Yarra River.

What were the most important features of the site/location which influenced your design?

The most important features of the site are the frontage to busy Victoria Street and the opportunity presented by the north-facing frontage to the Yarra River. These differing conditions resulted in building forms that have been shaped to respond to their location on the site and precinct planning that ensures a high quality public realm with enhanced amenity and connection to the Yarra River.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/riverbank-%E2%80%93-the-park-house-631-victoria-street-abbotsford"><img alt="" height="810" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/park_house_salta_plans_sjb.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

Were there any other buildings&nbsp;you&#39;ve designed previously&nbsp;(or just seen) that influenced the design?

SJB was previously involved in the delivery of three residential projects fronting both Burnley Street and Victoria Street in the precinct. Each project has a distinctive aesthetic based on its orientation, typology and scale &ndash; townhouses fronting laneways, apartments along street frontages and common amenities surrounding landscaped courtyards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=156385]

The buildings which are in close proximity to the retail complex Victoria Gardens, create a varied yet unified residential community which enjoys access to shopping facilities, public transport and riverfront recreation.

What were the biggest challenges of the design?

The challenges faced in the early design phase related mainly to the sensitive location of the site along the Yarra River.

Taller built forms were shaped so that the actual and apparent width of buildings were minimised when viewed from the river. These sculpted forms have been aligned generally to be perpendicular to the river corridor. Building separation, height and setback controls also influenced site planning and built form outcomes.

A two-tier river edge movement system was also incorporated into the master plan in order to maintain and enhance the &lsquo;natural&rsquo; river character at the lower level. A continuous bicycle connection is provided at this lower level while a more active &lsquo;urban&rsquo; character is created at the upper level with new pedestrian connections from the river to Shamrock, Walmer and Davison Streets.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=156274]

What interested you about the project?

The most interesting aspect of the project was the opportunity and challenge to provide significant improvements to the public realm and amenity for new occupants and the surrounding neighbourhood.

Unlocking this parcel of land formally occupied by the Melbourne Fire Brigade was a significant achievement by the project team, delivered through the provision of new public spaces and connections to the Yarra River.

What part of the design were you most proud/most interested in seeing when it&nbsp;was completed?

SJB is able to look back with pride at its role in the delivery of a series of residential projects in the precinct, which were successfully adopted by the marketplace over several years. The area has been transformed into a &lsquo;new neighbourhood&rsquo; with an improved public realm and new connections to the Yarra River.

In The Park House project, residential amenity is of high quality. Planning of apartments provide significant northerly outlook over the natural landscape of the river setting while common facilities are well located and generous. The aspirational planning principles for the site have been delivered while the residential character and amenity of the buildings are both innovative and responsive to this unique setting.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=166461]

How closely do you work with Carr Design when creating the apartments? 

SJB &amp; Carr Design worked collaboratively during the design phases of the project, with extensive briefing sessions determining the aspirations for both teams. The interior design of apartments and common areas was to respond to the architectural character of each building. Particular attention was paid to the extensive recreational facilities including swimming pools, lounges, playrooms and entry lobbies.

How we designed Riverbank apartments in Abbotsford: Urban chats with SJB's Michael Bialek 

Last month the Victorian government ended their stamp duty concessions for off the plan and brand new apartments statewide.&nbsp;

They continue to offer savings for new apartments up to $1 million only in the Melbourne CBD, but those outside of the CBD will revert back to paying full stamp duty.

Discerning developers who are either constructing or have completed apartments outside of the City of Melbourne LGA have continued to offer the stamp duty concessions in an attempt to lure buyers.

The property developer Salta Properties is offering to stump up 50 per cent of stamp duty for buyers in their Abbotsford apartment development, Riverbank.

Buyers can save between $11,000 and $20,000 on stamp duty in the recently completed Victoria Street project on the banks of the Yarra River, less than four kilometres outside of the city. The concessions are on offer until 30th September 2021.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=156269]

One-bedroom apartments start from $505,000 and two-bedroom apartments from $740,000.

The nine-level building has been designed by SJB Architects and is finished with interiors by Sue Carr at Carr Design Group. It is one of two buildings at The Park House, each with their own amenities, with the adjoining Riverbend apartments part of the development.

&ldquo;Our intention was to create a space that had a true sense of home but also a memorable atmosphere,&rdquo; Sue Carr said.

&ldquo;We want the purchasers to feel a connection with the landscape.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=156385]

Each apartment has Gaggeneau appliances in the kitchen, engineered oak floors and marble-effect stone.&nbsp;

The sustainable 6+ energy rated development includes a number of resident only amenities, including a swimming pool, sauna and gym, cinema, a lounge and library space, meeting room, kids play hut, bike workshop and even a golf simulation room.

Golfer Craig Parry lists Abbotsford home with $10 million hopes, and own putting green

<html><body>
The Zagame family has acquired a recently rezoned Abbotsford land parcel of 4,735 square metres for $21 million.
Fitzroys agents Paul Burns and James Lockwood negotiated the sale of 112 Trenerry Crescent on behalf of the Australian Education Union (Victorian Branch) following an expressions of interest campaign.
The site has an existing four-level brick building with a net lettable area of 4,252 square metres, and fronts on to the Yarra River overlooking both Dights falls and Victoria Park, in addition to having views of the CBD skyline.
Burns said 15 offers were received from a mix of local and offshore bidders, predominantly made up of developers, with some partial owner occupiers.
“Bidders had schemes for a mix of office and residential uses for the property, looking to take advantage of the property’s recent rezoning to Mixed Use,” he said.
The AEU had previously used the building as their Victorian headquarters for many years, and held onto the property following their relocation until the rezoning was formalised.
Burns said the strong purchaser interest was driven by the property’s city fringe location and proximity to the burgeoning nearby office markets of Cremorne and Richmond.
The site had views to the Yarra River, Dight Falls, Victoria Park and the Melbourne CBD.
The existing building will be kept and re-used.
“Office vacancies across Melbourne’s city fringe have been tightening to historic lows and businesses are increasingly looking to Abbotsford as the next hotspot for commercial activity,” Burns said.
He said the property offers direct access to trains and buses, the Eastern Freeway and recently upgraded Hoddle Street, and a range of trendy lifestyle options and the scenery of the Yarra River, all within short walking distance.
Lockwood said developers are now looking beyond the busy Cremorne and Richmond markets for their next projects.
Cadence Property Group has lodged plans for a major office development on Victoria Crescent, near the Carlton and United Brewery, and Salta Property Group is undertaking a mixed-use project with office, apartment and build-to-rent components next to its Victoria Gardens shopping centre.
