Cheltenham

Shenfield Property is set to launch their latest residential development in the heart of the coveted suburb of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/cheltenham-vic">Cheltenham</a> in Melbourne's Bayside area.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/plenteous-cheltenham-49-jean-street-cheltenham">Plenteous</a> will deliver a collection of eight architect-designed townhomes offering a blend of elegant contemporary living with functional and energy-efficient features.

Situated in a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac, with a parkland frontage, creating a tranquil and serene environment for its residents, Plenteous offers a mix of two and three-bedroom floor plans that cater to the needs of both families and couples alike.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136588 project_image_fid=208418]

Noorden selling agent David Lamond said Plenteous is a great opportunity for families to move into the upcoming suburb, with plenty on offer and a great location.

“Now is a great time to take advantage of buying off the plan,” Lamond said.

<div dir="ltr">
<div>
”By purchasing off the plan an agreed off the plan price is secured meaning you will not be liable to pay for any additional building costs should they increase during the time of building, as well as taking advantage of stamp duty savings which are a huge bonus in the purchasers favour.”

“So take advantage of buying off the plan and if the market works in your favour by the time you move in the property is worth more than what you bought it for.

“You will also be walking into a newly built property which must have six star rating and is already equipped with solar panels.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136588 project_image_fid=208421]

Each residence has been designed to provide low-maintenance living, privacy and comfort, and contemporary interiors by Aldona Padjak. The soft, neutral colours that adorn each townhome enhance the natural light, while the crafted textures accentuate the refined details of each living space.
</div>
</div>

The townhomes have been designed over two or three levels and feature warm timber floors in the living areas. The kitchen and bathroom joinery is sleek and streamlined, creating a minimalist yet practical look.

Each residence has its own landscaped outdoor space, which provides the perfect spot for relaxation or entertaining. Secure basement parking and storage facilities are also available for residents.

Located just a few steps from the Southland Shopping Centre, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/plenteous-cheltenham-49-jean-street-cheltenham">Plenteous</a> offers its residents a range of shopping, food, and entertainment options. The Southland train station is also nearby, providing convenient public transport with just a short trip into the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136588 project_image_fid=208421]

The development is in close proximity to surrounding parks and recreation facilities, Melbourne's finest golf courses, quality education, beaches, and all that the Bayside area has to offer.

One of the most significant features of Plenteous is its commitment to environmental sustainability.

Each residence incorporates energy-efficient features, including individual solar power and provisions for a car charging point in the basement. By meeting the latest standards in environmental sustainability, Plenteous demonstrates a commitment to a sustainable future, ensuring that residents enjoy a comfortable, sustainable lifestyle.

Shenfield Property launch Plenteous in Melbourne's bayside Cheltenham

Cheltenham in Melbourne&#39;s south-east, a stone&#39;s throw from the Bayside district,&nbsp;is benefitting from an infrastructure pipeline which has investors and owner occupiers interested in the area.

The talk of the town is the proposed metro loop, which would&nbsp;start in Cheltenham and stop at all stations en route to the airport and connect the area as far as Box Hill in Melbourne&#39;s east.

Jo Arbid, director at Captains Property, says Cheltenham has long been a great place to live because of its family-orientated amenities like great parks, schools, shopping and some of the best golf courses in Melbourne.

However, it is now&nbsp;being considered as a great place to invest in due to major infrastructure the government is spending on in the area.

And the decision by the property developer NewCity to create a more boutique residential project than the area is accustom to has paid dividends throughout COVID, with owner-occupiers now seeking more space in apartments.

The majority of new developments in Cheltenham have between 30 and 40 apartments.

But 8 Garfield Street, near Southland and Southland Station, has just 17 apartments across three levels.&nbsp;Designed by Point Architects, 8 Garfield Street is made up of one,&nbsp;two and three-bedroom apartments, with some&nbsp;of the two bedrooms with study rooms over 90 sqm internally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7518 project_image_fid=42519]

&quot;We have been selling all the way through COVID,&nbsp;mostly due to the quiet location on a no through road, spacious apartments and two&nbsp;mins walk to Southland&rdquo;, Arbid says. There&nbsp;there are now only five apartments left in the development which is slated for completion in&nbsp;November.

Each apartment features a kitchen with stone benches and&nbsp;with Miele appliances. That meets the open plan living and dining area which opens either to&nbsp;a courtyard or alfresco terrace. Every apartment also has&nbsp;a storage cage and at least one car space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7518 project_image_fid=42520]

The development has catered for all needs, even down to a ramp up the stairs for families with prams, the active residents&nbsp;with bikes or scooters and the elderly with wheelchairs or walkers.

About the developer

NewCity, with decades of experience in&nbsp;Melbourne and China, has a very experienced local development team led by its development director&nbsp;Sam Failla.

In their local pipeline they have&nbsp;65 Clarke St, the $415 million mixed-use Southbank tower which will comprise over 350 apartments, a 5-star hotel and a co-working office space&nbsp;across its 67&nbsp;levels.

Jo Arbid, director at Captains Property, says Cheltenham has long been a great place to live, however it is now being considered as a great place to invest

A prototype energy-efficient home, dubbed the ‘house with no bills’, is set to go under the hammer tomorrow, on Saturday.
The 199-square-metre, three-bedroom home, is located at 12 Monterey Drive, and was built as part of a study into sustainable living which was undertaken by real estate group MIRVAC.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/2/24/HWNB%202.jpg" alt=""> 
Mirvac General Manager of Residential Victoria, Elysa Anderson, said the complex will be used to shape future projects.
“Designed to look, feel and operate the same way as a typical home, the House with No Bills experiment aimed to help address the increasing pressures of housing affordability and reduce environmental impact with market-based solutions,” she said.
The Cheltenham property was home to the Zimmerman family of four until December 2019.
An Evergen solar and battery system featuring CSIRO-developed intelligent energy management, along with a smart home automation system with environmental sensors controlling internal temperatures, are among the various eco-friendly innovations included to reduce the house’s reliance on grid electricity.
Smart meters and monitoring systems helped the Zimmerman family keep track of where and how their energy was being used, assisting the HWNB in achieving a 75 per cent energy cost saving (approximately $2,000) in 12 months, with the potential to operate with net zero energy bills.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/2/24/HWNB%203.jpg" alt="">
Built in March 2018, the modern two-storey house has an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, two bathrooms and a powder room, and an outdoor entertaining area.
Tiles downstairs are efficient for thermal protection, while upstairs bedrooms are carpeted. There is a single car garage, plus space to park in the driveway.
MIRVAC’s Baden Lucas will auction the house, which is being marketed with expectations from $775,000 to $850,000.
Cheltenham’s median house price is $1.267 million.

Brix Property Group has commenced construction of a Dan Murphy’s store on Bay Road, Cheltenham.
Becon Construction is completing the purpose built facility with construction well underway. 
Set to open by June 2019, the Dan Murphy’s store is the first stage in a multi stage retail and commercial development by Brix Property Group. 
After purchasing the site back in 2017, Brix Property Group negotiated a lease deal with Dan Murphy’s to go on the site.
Brix Property Group Managing Director Adam Brick said that interest in the project has been overwhelming. 
“When we purchased the site we recognised it as being a prime spot for regeneration. The A-grade bayside location on a major arterial road which feeds the top Melbourne bayside suburbs was what really attracted us to the site.” 
“Securing Dan Murphy’s to anchor the site was an impressive outcome. The response from both the community and Council to the new store is very positive, with many recognising it as another step in transforming this somewhat redundant industrial precinct.” 
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/2/21/Chandos%20Ave%20-%20Office%20Elevation%20MR%20PEOPLE%20Update1.jpg" alt="">
Stage 2 of the project, designed Cera-Stribley, includes opportunities for specialty supermarkets, retailers and showrooms of up to 1600 sqm, in addition to commercial office opportunities ranging from 100 sqm through to 3200 sqm. 
“Interest in Stage 2 of the project has been substantial despite only just having locked down our preferred development outcome and commencing the town planning process.
"Tenant interest in the supermarket and retail opportunities have been high with many recognising the strategic positioning being opposite to Dan Murphy’s and the benefits this brings,” Mr Brick said. 
“The office accommodation will set a new standard for bayside with the dedicated end of trip facilities and landscaped roof top terrace. Being a stone’s throw from the new Southland Railway Station and capitalising on the exposure to busy Bay Road, has seen interest from both large and small tenants,” Mr Brick said. 
Brix Property Group has appointed Colliers International’s Dan Noonan to lease the retail component and Damien Adkins to manage the office leasing campaign. 
Colliers International is currently taking registrations of interest for Stage 2 of the development with commencement of construction slated for the Q3 2019.

Dan Murphy’s coming to Cheltenham

Melbourne's south-east apartment market is set for a major boost with Melbourne developer Steller launching three projects in two weeks across Carnegie, Bentleigh and Cheltenham. Urban.com.au is currently tracking Steller's project pipeline valued at over $4.2 billion, which includes its first high-rise foray in South Melbourne, working alongside longtime collaborator architect Ewert Leaf. Already the partnership has yielded hundreds of apartments across Melbourne's South Eastern suburbs.

Steller also recently commenced construction on the first stage of its $80 million Continental Hotel redevelopment in Sorrento. The major redevelopment will re-imagine the 143-year-old icon as a luxury accommodation, wellness, recreation, entertainment and dining destination, with the heritage hotel restored as a leading hospitality and events establishment, along with the addition of three new proposed interconnecting buildings, which will include premium hotel rooms and a wellness centre including a day spa and gym.

<figcaption>Work has commenced on the $80 million Continental Hotel development in Sorrento. Images: Steller</figcaption></figure>Steller's trio of new apartment developments are all located within maturing apartment markets which are well serviced by public transport and within close proximity of retail strips, schools and supermarkets. Carnegie and Bentleigh in particular have benefited from the Victorian Government's Level Crossing Removal program which included the reconstruction of the respective stations, removing the conflict between rail and vehicle, while easing congestion.

Additionally, the three projects align with Steller's strategy in the south-east of delivering low-rise developments of around 30 apartments which are well designed and offer residents a high level of amenity.

<figcaption>Laila, Carnegie. Image: Steller</figcaption></figure>Located within the heart of Carnegie, Laila comprises 35 apartments across four levels, within walking distance of the Koornang Road retail and dining strip, green open space and the recently rebuilt Carnegie Station. The project also capitalises on its proximity to Chadstone Shopping Centre and Monash University’s Caulfield campus, both just just five minutes’ drive away in either direction.

Ewert Leaf's design for the exterior of the building allows it to sit comfortably within the low-rise streetscape. Employing a neutral palette of contrasting shades and highly textured materials, Laila is articulated as a series of buildings rather than one singular mass, with the upper level setback and designed to be visually recessive. The built form has also been designed to maximise privacy while minimising overshadowing to adjoining properties.

Laila's mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, each come with one or two bathrooms, and private outdoor spaces which seamlessly connect to the interiors, with large windows providing living areas with ample natural light and ventilation. The interiors feature timber flooring throughout, while kitchens are appointed with sleek black ILVE appliances and shaker style cabinets.

<figcaption>Sora, Bentleigh.

Situated within walking distance of Bentleigh Station, SORA also benefits from its proximity to Coles, Target, and the Centre Road retail strip which provides an array of essential services and amenity. A number of green spaces are also located within a short walk.

SORA's exterior is characterised by its tiered form, and combination of timber, brick and textured concrete with planters and vegetation providing green flourishes on the facade. The building is expressed as two forms to respond to the built form along the Hamilton Street and to minimise its impact on the streetscape and surrounding properties.

Internally, SORA comes complete with ILVE kitchen appliances and much like Laila, shaker-style cabinetry and natural timber flooring. In keeping with the desire to provide apartments with natural light and ventilation, large windows have been provided which also allow for a green outlook and seamless transition to the outdoors.

A Melbourne-based developer has secured four permit-approved Cheltenham properties for $6.5 million before they hit the market.
The 2,867 square metre corner allotment, which encompasses 1-2 Moola Street and 4-6 Barker Street, has potential for 49 units.
Savills Australia’s Julian Heatherich brokered the deal on behalf of a local investor, securing a land rate of $2,260 per square metre or $132,000 per unit.
Heatherich said the sale was a positive sign of the year ahead.
“2018 has kicked off with a flurry of activity, with developers back in force looking for their next opportunity,” he said.

The winner of the 1969 Wilkinson Award, a Philip Cox-designed house at Cheltenham, has a new owner.
Considered as one of the best mid-century houses in Australia, the late 1960s <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-cheltenham-111765475" target="_blank">19 Norma Crescent</a> home sold midweek, some two years after its listing.
Its last price guidance was $2.59 million having initial $3 million hopes.
It last traded for $1.405 million in 2013 to the Apap family, in fairly original condition. Since then it has bathroom and kitchen renovations which don't detract too much from the style of the home.
It first traded for $108,000 in 1976 when sold by the Hawkins household.
When designed by Philip Cox in 1968, he was an influential proponent of the Sydney School – a style of architecture responding to its environment, often built in natural bushland, organic, and using natural materials.
The Wilkinson is the highest accolade of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects. 
The five bedroom home has been updated and renovated around its central courtyard that features a pool and spa.
There's a self-contained lower level with its own private entry on the 1,150 sqm parcel that adjoins the Lane Cove National Park.
Built with creamy-yellow expressed bricks, it comes with brush box floors, oregon ceilings and exposed cedar rafters.  
"The purchasers are a young couple with three children who will honour and love the home as it is," Noemi Guttmann, the Black Diamondz selling agent said.
