Melbourne Bayside

Having quietly evolved as one of the most sought-after suburbs in the Bayside area, the streets of Hampton are now home to some of Melbourne’s most exclusive and luxury residential projects.

On the fringes of the enviable Brighton, Hampton has positioned itself as offering the same exclusive Bayside lifestyle, at a more affordable price point than some of the high-end Melbourne suburbs carry.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=193034]

Differentiating itself from the larger projects on the market in the area, the Riva Ridge-developed&nbsp;Soul Hampton offers just eight apartments across the site.

The group engaged locals, Finnis Architecture and Interiors to design the building, with the apartments incorporating&nbsp;natural stone and veneer timber paneling,&nbsp;packed with fine finishes and appliances.

Half of the residences have sold across the project, with local downsizers taking up the stock.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=193039]

David Lamond from project marketer Noorden said Soul has seen very high interest from locals, who are looking to downsize without compromising on space and luxurious features.

“This is the ideal development where you can lock up and go away for the weekend or two.&nbsp;As small boutique developments are becoming harder to come by, this is a great time to secure your home whether it be downsizing or securing your luxurious Bayside Melbourne residence,” Lamond said.

“The people who have purchased so far are loving the idea of being so close to the Beach and part of only eight&nbsp;luxury homes. I am looking forward to working with each and every one of them through the process of Soul coming to life."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=197035]

Just two expansive, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments remain in Soul Hampton, along with a three-bedroom residence and an exclusive penthouse.

The two-bedroom apartments span 123 sqm, benefitting from an additional home office/study space.

The three-bedder finds its place on the ground floor of Soul Hampton, covering 146 sqm, adjoining to a large outdoor garden, with two-bathrooms, while the penthouse tops Soul Hampton, with views across the Bay, spanning 137 sqm, with home office/study space and two-bathrooms.

The Melbourne-based developer Lowe Living have only one apartment remaining in their luxury Bayside development Azura Aspendale, which saw solid sales growth despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Foster Street townhouse and apartment development was launched in March last year, the same month COVID had Australian's in lockdown. Within six months of the project launch, 26 of the 27 residences had sold.

Construction is well underway on Azura Aspendale, a mix of eight townhouses and 19 apartments created by design-studio Golden. They created the homes in collaboration with landscape architect Jack Merlo and Chamberlain Architects.The project is expected to be completed in late 2021.

Lowe Living Founder and managing director, Tim Lowe, said that the meticulous craftsmanship and unparalleled attention to detail of Azura Aspendale, combined with the elite location of pure beach- front living, will present a once in a lifetime opportunity for buyers.

“Azura Aspendale is inspired by its unique location,” Mr Lowe said. “Its sophistication and sensitivity to its surrounds is something we have not yet seen in beach-side living.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26408]

“From the tranquillity afforded by spectacular use of light and space and its carefully crafted floorplans that promote open-plan living and connection to the outdoors, to its sleek, stylish and premium finishes, Azura Aspendale represents a new generation of high-end coastal living.”

“Its absolute beach front location, with supreme views of the bay, combined with its thoughtful design, makes Azura Aspendale one of a kind.”

Inspired by tropical modernism examples in Brazil and Asia, the material palette of concrete, red brick and timber, sits in harmony with the coastal landscape.

Jack Merlo has given great consideration to the coastal location, using feature foliage and greenery to link the landscape and architecture.

“One of the most unique aspects of Azura Aspendale is the relationship between architecture, landscaping and surrounds,” said Mr Lowe. “These elements have all been carefully considered to create a sense of tranquillity and a private sanctuary, nestled beside the beach.”

“With the beauty of Port Phillip Bay quite literally on your doorstep, and only a short walk to the vibrant eateries and cosmopolitan amenities of Aspendale and neighbouring suburbs, Azura Aspendale will give owners the rare opportunity to enjoy a sea change while not compromising on locale or quality."

We sat down with Aultun Group managing director Bruce Yang to discuss Sixth Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136]

JR: What demographic was the development pitched at?

BY: The growing numbers of 25-58 year old bayside residences who wanted to keep the bayside lifestyle &amp; improve on their current living accommodation without moving out several suburbs. Therefore affordability was just as important as quality. The homes had to feel as much a part of the beach side living as they did family wise, inclusive of&nbsp;creature comforts that one would expect in a family home, for example great outdoor entertaining areas, well-appointed fittings &amp; fixtures to name a few.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

JR: What was the brief for Point Architects?

To embrace the bayside lifestyle, using colours of rammed earth &amp; beach tones. Create areas that are bright &amp; airy with room for growing families to entertain.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/sixth-avenue-15-sixth-avenue-chelsea-heights"><img alt="" height="905" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/sixth_avenue_chelsea_2.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

JR: Which part of the project are you most looking forward to seeing when completed?

Construction commences very shortly, so the time spent designing &amp; planning have come to an end and it&rsquo;s time for realisation. The collaboration of each stage of the development from the site acquisition to completion.

There are many hero moments, though the one that leaves me with goose bumps is seeing families move into their new homes. The buyers take the same experience as we do, they are in anticipation of the possibilities a new home brings.&nbsp; The joy of home ownership is right up there in one of the greatest experience of a lifetime. &nbsp;&nbsp;

JR: What will be the biggest drawcard for buyers to the project?

They say property is about three things, For us they are beach, transport &amp; amenities. What a perfect storm this is with style, quality &amp; affordability.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/sixth-avenue-15-sixth-avenue-chelsea-heights"><img alt="" height="849" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/sixth_avenue_chelsea_3.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

JR: How important is the Bayside location? And why as a development team have you decided to focus your projects in that area?

We love the South East &amp; Bayside, it&#39;s where Melburnians go to the beach be it for a day trip or week on the Peninsula. You will always find something new to do, surrounded by some of Melbourne&rsquo;s best government &amp; private schools, the new Mordialloc by-pass will also bring so much value to the area.

Our expectation is that we will see a sharp price increase in property values in Chelsea Heights end of 2022 start of 2023 when this project &amp; the Chelsea railway upgrade have been expected for completion.

The South East &amp; Bayside will always be a better investment not only financially also holistically &amp; social factors wise.&nbsp;

They say property is about three things, for us they are beach, transport & amenities. What a perfect storm this is with style, quality & affordability.
