Southbank

OSK Property is breaking new ground in future-proofed living at its $2.8 billion Southbank masterplan, Melbourne Square.

The latest tower release, BLVD, was designed by COX Architecture. Their brief was to create a building which will be as relevant by its completion in 2027 as it is now.

Paul Curry, Director of Cox Architects, says BLVD is a rare example of a building designed today with tomorrow's living standards in mind. Its focus on wellness, connectivity, and community sets a new precedent for urban development in Melbourne.

“It’s rare to create a building designed today delivering tomorrow’s living standards. A blueprint for modern life, BLVD is for you and your community to live well and foster better connections than ever before," Curry said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The integration of industry-leading technology and connectivity within BLVD ensures that residents can personalise their living spaces and streamline their everyday lives.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=214124]

Home automation systems allow for effortless control of lighting, temperature, and other amenities, while the smart building app connect residents to a wide range of services and activities.

Smart lockers provide a seamless collection point for deliveries, so need to to collect parcels from the post office on a weekend.

While tech advancements are often the future, so are sustainability and wellness.

Wellness has been a key consideration for millions in recent years since the pandemic. Wellness has been the cornerstone of design considerations and inclusions throughout Melbourne Square. Central to the ethos of&nbsp;BLVD is the pursuit of WELL Certification, a world-leading framework that prioritises the health and well-being of residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211869]

Melbourne Square is one of the first residential projects in Australia registered to pursue WELL Certification, leading the way in promoting holistic wellness and sustainability.

Jack Noonan, Vice President of the Asia Pacific International WELL Building Institute, highlights the importance of the certification, saying that Australia's buildings must respond better to create places that feel healthier, happier, and deliver more sustainable outcomes.

"We know that great spaces prioritise and improve health by helping fuel our bodies, keeping us connected, inspiring our best work and facilitating a good night’s sleep. We also know that our buildings must respond better to create places that feel healthier, happier and deliver more sustainable outcomes," Noonan said.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211866]

"This is why BLVD is one of the first residential projects in Australia registered to pursue WELL Certification.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/osk-property" target="">OSK Property</a>&nbsp;has applied this world-leading framework from the ground up with a holistic suite of integrated solutions, including optimised access to natural light, great thermal comfort and indoor air quality, through to social, fitness and mental wellbeing amenities. Together, they create an ecosystem to help you live well every day."

To increase the wellness of its resident, OSK Property doubled down on amenities and facilities within the building. They have a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, a gym, sauna, a Zen garden, alfresco dining areas with barbecue facilities, and top of the line entertainment facilities including&nbsp;residents' lounges, dining rooms, a cinema/karaoke room, and even a golf simulator. They've catered for the growing work from home trend with co-working spaces, meeting rooms and private booths to work from.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211867]

Sustainability is a core design principle at BLVD. The building is gas-free and carbon neutral operation-enabled, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.&nbsp;To promote electric vehicle usage, BLVD also has provision for electric car charging stations, encouraging residents to adopt eco-friendly transportation options.

The architectural choices in BLVD also contribute to a healthier living environment. The building prioritises access to natural light, ensuring ample exposure to daylight for residents, while superior thermal comfort and indoor air quality will further enhance the well-being of occupants.&nbsp;

Carr Design Managing Director Chris McCue said BLVD is truly a living and breathing building.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=214125]

"We drew deeply on the rich natural landscapes of the surrounding precinct, which are woven through the building’s generous amenities through the material palette and quality fittings. From the gently lit, articulated lobby to the double-height views on the 55th floor, each interior connects immediately to the bay and garden views, offering a sense of scale and freedom," McCue said.&nbsp;

"The residences capture beautifully restrained and timeless interior architecture. Continuing the same reductionist ideology and palette, nature shines through warm, tonal materials and subtle, textured finishes. Together, they create a calm environment for you to make your own and live your way. Perfectly attuned with a design that elevates the senses, we feel very privileged to carve new spaces for the next generation.”

The Evermore delivers ready-to-move-in apartments to Southbank

It was 2015 when OSK Property announced it was to develop a $2.8 billion community on a prime two-hectare site in Melbourne's Southbank, the largest precinct ever proposed in the popular suburb south of the Yarra.

They're only two towers into the grand six-tower masterplan, and they've already lit a spark in property seekers looking for a combination of convenient amenity and lifestyle opportunities.

The project is already multi-award winning, having won the Best Mixed Use Development and the Best High Rise Architecture awards at the Asia Pacific Property Awards in 2020.

Locally Melbourne Square has been a finalist at the UDIA Awards for Excellence in 2021 and the Property Council Australia Awards in 2022.

OSK recently completed stage one of Melbourne Square, two towers already set in an established community with a 3,745 sqm park and double-storey Woolworths, the first in Melbourne, also completed as part of the first stage.

OSK has just launched their second stage, BLVD, another striking 73-level skyscraper with extensive resident amenity more commonly found in a hotel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211867]

BLVD, which is expected to complete in early 2027, will sit within an already established community. OSK started their work on the Hoff Boulevard site in 2017, and to show for it have the completed East and West Towers, the sprawling Kennedy Park, and extensive retail within the development.&nbsp;

The retail component was bought&nbsp;by PrimeWest for $70 million back in 2020, a major transaction before it was completed which highlighted the level of quality OSK was putting together. As well as the Woolworths, there's an adjoining BWS,&nbsp;Pacific Asian grocery store, the 10 Hoff Café, an 87-place childcare centre, and more still to come.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211870]

Kennedy Park was created to act as a natural escape from busy city life. It features extensive established gardens and a waterfall, so residents can connect with nature.

BLVD sits at the heart of the masterplan, located on the fringe of Melbourne's famed Arts Precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211869]

The Arts Precinct pulsates with a rich cultural energy, where Melbourne's most progressive, acclaimed, and dynamic galleries, theatres, performances, and exhibitions take centre stage all year round.

As the Arts Precinct redevelopment evolves, BLVD residents will find themselves at the heart of a globally-recognised cultural centre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211874]

Southbank is one of the top locations for both investors and owner-occupiers who want all of the benefits of the Melbourne CBD without actually living in it.

It's a 15-minute walk to Flinders St station, or a 10-minute tram from the tram stop across the road on Sturt Street.

BLVD within Melbourne Square is poised to redefine urban living in Southbank. With its unparalleled location on the fringe of the Arts Precinct, immersive landscape design, and sustainable architecture, it presents a unique opportunity for residents to experience a tranquil urban sanctuary like no other. Melbourne Square is not just a place to live; it's a community that thrives on its rich cultural heritage and unrivalled amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211872]

As the precinct continues to take shape, it solidifies its status as the epitome of cosmopolitan living in the heart of Melbourne.

OSK have further shown their commitment to Southbank, last year securing a 7,800 sqm site fronting both City Road and Queensbridge Street.

OSK was founded in 1997 in Malaysia and have won a string of awards for their developments across the country.

BLVD at Melbourne Square: An urban sanctuary in Southbank's cultural heart

Apartment buyers are continuing to head back to the Melbourne CBD in droves, following the COVID-induced exodus from the city a number of years ago.

Urban.com.au data found the Melbourne 3000 postcode was the most popular suburb across Victoria in March, particularly for first home buyers. The CBD, and surrounds, have a number of off the plan and ready to move in apartment developments currently on the market.

We've crunched the numbers and looked at the top three most searched suburbs in Victoria on Urban across March.&nbsp;

<h2>Melbourne</h2>

The Melbourne 3000 postcode was again the most searched suburb on Urban in March, making it the most searched across the quarter.

The growth in migration has seen a number of prospective buyers seek out completed stock, with construction timelines currently fairly problematic, and a rental market as tight as it's even been.

Brady Group's 380 Melbourne has been one of the most popular projects in March. The&nbsp;twin tower project is home to a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, which start from $570,000.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2064 project_image_fid=210658]

Designed by Elenberg Fraser, the 65-level towers are located in the heart of the city on Lonsdale Street.

The towers also include 300 hotel suits, along with a retail and cafe arcade, which links the development to the public domain through a low-lying podium that resembles a cascading ripple.&nbsp;

An array of resident's only amenity has also been incorporated, with a resident's lounge and a games room with table tennis, air hockey and foosball tables.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2064 project_image_fid=210654]

There's also a private cinema and karaoke room, along with steam rooms, a sauna, private bar dining and lounge areas, a rooftop garden, 25-metre heated lap pool, and an outdoor terrace with barbecue facilities and seating.&nbsp;

<h2>Southbank</h2>

South of the Yarra River has been another hotspot for buyers across March, with the well-connected suburb known for its vibrant atmosphere, modern architecture, and views of the city skyline.

The most recent collection of apartments to hit the market is the second tower in OSK Property's near $3 billion billion masterplan, Melbourne Square.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211874]

The latest release, which follows the recently completed East Tower, comprises 610 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, starting from $521,000.

The tower is one of&nbsp;the first residential projects in Australia registered to pursue WELL Certification.&nbsp;It offers a podium gym, spa, sauna, and a 25 metre indoor swimming pool, as well as a Zen garden, alfresco dining area and BBQ facilities.

The tower is expected to be completed in late 2026.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211872]

The most recently completed apartment tower in Southbank is Central Equity's FOCUS, which has proved a popular choice for locals who want to remain near the city while enjoying a neighbourhood feel.

The 50-level building, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments starting from $499,000, is ideally located on City Road.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=210866]

Buyers have been sold on the location of FOCUS, which places residents on the doorstep of the arts precinct and its upcoming $1.7 billion revamp.

"Southbank has a leafier feel than the city," Central Equity's Sales Manager Neil Singh&nbsp;says, adding that the suburb still offers all the pros of inner-city living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=206134]

"Within minutes, residents can be at the NGV and Arts Centre, or walk less than a kilometre to reach the Queen Victoria Gardens."

<h2>Brighton</h2>

Melbourne's bayside has long been a sought after address for buyers, with more and more developers taking to the idyllic oceanside for their residential developments.

One of the most popular projects is Martin Brighton, a rare offering in the exclusive suburb due to its interiors, which have been crafted by the legendary Miriam Fanning's MIM Design.

Over 40 per cent of its 11 two and three-bedroom apartments have been snapped up. Luxury developer EBG Developments has recently released an incentive offer for buyers. Their discounted five per cent deposit (half of the standard 10 per cent deposit across other projects) - will sit in a high interest account and earn seven per cent per annum, until the project is completed, which is expected to be in early 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5495 project_image_fid=207664]

One of Brighton's most recently completed projects, 448 Brighton by Sunkin Property Group.

The project has just 20 apartments starting from $1.4 million.&nbsp;

It was designed by renowned architecture firm SJB and sits in landscaped gardens by the equally renowned Jack Merlo.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31946 project_image_fid=211970]

The kitchens are the focal point of the apartment, featuring a sculpted natural marble stone benchtop and appliances by&nbsp;Gaggenau and Bora.

448 Brighton was named both after its location at 448 St Kilda Street, and its proximity to the beach, just 448 metres. It's on the doorstep of Elwood and Elsternwick Parks and a number of&nbsp;cafes, restaurants and private schools.

We've crunched the numbers and looked at the top three most searched suburbs in Victoria on Urban across March.

FOCUS Melbourne: Inside Southbank's newest residential address

STH BNK By Beaulah has hit a pivotal milestone, reaching over $600 million in sales since its launch to the market just four months ago.

The impressive sales flurry includes a record-breaking $35 million sub-penthouse, as well as a $15 million sub-penthouse.

Following a sell-out success of stage one on launch day, totalling $400 million, stage two was brought forward to cater to the demand, which also resulted in a sell-out.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=200218]

Two stages remain in the project which are yet to launch, including the Hotel Private Residence collection, which will offer sophisticated urban living with exclusive hotel services, dedicated property management and exclusive amenities, as well as a selection of customised residences, designed purely off the back of the demand.

Two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments continue to be the most in-demand, accounting for close to 70 per cent of the apartments sold to date, with Beulah even redesigning a number of floors to cater for the high demand for larger apartments.

Many purchasers have taken advantage of the customisable ‘Tailored Living’ services by merging multiple apartments into super-sized residences, with the total number of apartments in the project decreasing as a result of more two, three and four-bedroom configurations.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=193964]

Beulah Managing Director Jiaheng Chan said the sales achieved are reflective of the market’s confidence in the project, particularly in the face of interest rate rises and a global pandemic.

“Most of our purchasers live in Melbourne and Sydney with a large proportion of purchasers stemming from the immediate area who already love the culture, shopping, sport and entertainment of inner-city living but have been searching for a truly integrated precinct to live in,” he said.

“We’ve also seen a surge of buyers from regional Victoria who are attracted to the same things and see Melbourne city as an attractive place to have a home.”

Chan added that buyers were excited by the fact they can live in a mini-metropolis, with the vertical village offering everything buyers could need and more.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=200219]

“They will be able to enjoy the cosmopolitan lifestyle with world-class amenities and services on the doorstep and can simply lock up and leave when travel calls. There is also the unique opportunity to completely customise their home, all while living in the heart of Melbourne.

“Our partnerships with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and with Centre Pompidou have also added immense value for potential purchasers, presenting a truly unique lifestyle offering, that is only further enhanced by our commitment to holistic wellness throughout the precinct. It has really set a benchmark in liveability and this is something purchasers appreciate.”

In June, it was announced STH BNK By Beulah will be home to the most comprehensive collection of amenities in any Australian skyscraper, including a series of unique residents’ clubs, featuring pools, lounges and wellness areas.

All residents will also have access to STH BNK Concierge Services, which includes things from housekeeping, shopping and child minding to pet services, an on-call doctor, beauty treatments and massages, in addition to the recently announced STH BNK Auto Club, a first-of-its-kind fleet of luxury vehicles including BMWs, Teslas, Porches and Range Rovers, which will be for the use of residents to use at their convenience.

&ldquo;With OC fees priced from just $4,000 per year, buyers have been driven by the remarkable value for money STH BNK By Beulah offers,&rdquo; added Teh.

&ldquo;Given premium gym memberships are usually priced from $2,000 and hot-desk memberships at co-working spaces from approximately $4,000 per year, residents with access to all of this and more on their doorstep understand the appeal.&rdquo;

Elevating the pulse of Southbank, residents will have access to the lifestyle podium; a wellness and culture precinct comprising premium retail, cultural events and entertainment, community activities, a childcare centre and inspiring place space, outdoor gardens and rooftop spaces.

STH BNK By Beulah will also be home to Four Seasons Melbourne, as well as the country&rsquo;s first innovative cultural centre for young people, overseen by the globally-revered Centre Pompidou.

Last month, STH BNK By Beulah experienced a record-breaking launch day with $400 million-plus in apartment sales including a record-breaking $35 million sub-penthouse, making it one of the strongest single day apartment sales in the country

STH BNK By Beulah to feature a host of world-class amenity 

STH BNK By Beulah, one of Australia&rsquo;s most anticipated projects which is also to home&nbsp;the country&rsquo;s tallest tower, has unveiled the&nbsp;first glimpse of its Sky Rise&nbsp;Collection&nbsp;ahead of its official April 2 launch.

There will be four distinct collections in the two twisting towers, from one-bedroom apartments to the five-bedroom sky homes.

The first collection, Garden Rise Residences, is set above&nbsp;the podium and provides the closest connection to the pulse of Southbank. With a particular focus on embracing earth and nature, residences within this collection feature timber joinery and natural textures.

Above this collection sits the High Rise Residences, a collection that celebrates all there is to love about Melbourne; grander city vistas, spacious floorplans and timber joinery complimented by mirrored range hoods to reflect the glittering city lights.

The Sky Rise Collection crowns the Garden and High Rise Collections are located high above the clouds, offering extensive&nbsp;views of the city, the bay and the gardens. Extra-large in size, from opulent walk-in wardrobes, a butlers pantry, to a stunning sculptural kitchen island design inspired by the &lsquo;stacking&rsquo; terraces along the towers&rsquo; spine, the Sky Rise Residences are the most prized homes and provide exclusive access to the Sky Rise Residents&rsquo; Club.

STH BNK By Beulah will also feature a series of Hotel Private Residences, combining exceptional interior design with the highest level of residential services.

Philip Rowe, Director of Cox Architecture, said the firm brought a philosophy of healthy living and connections to nature to the design of all STH BNK By Beulah residences.

&ldquo;Our vision for STH BNK is for a collection of residences that provide a home of unparalleled luxury; a curated environment that is immersed in greenery and enveloped by views. A place with a strong connection to this unique place in Melbourne,&rdquo; he said.

Colour schemes and materials throughout are both timeless and highly versatile, reflecting the greenery of the gardens outside the windows while allowing purchasers to interchange between schemes to create a beautiful combination that is uniquely theirs.

The iconic vertical garden that envelopes both towers acts as a natural control of daylight, shielding the apartments from direct sun during summer while maximising the natural light in winter, while residents will benefit from Beulah FreshAirTM - a bespoke centralised ventilation system that provides the freshest and cleanest air in any Australian residential skyscraper.

STH BNK By Beulah will also seek to achieve high sustainability benchmarks, including but not limited to the elimination of fossil fuel for a carbon-neutral future, and sourcing local materials to reduce waste and minimise the project&rsquo;s carbon footprint.

Beulah Executive Director Adelene Teh said the possibilities for homes within STH BNK By Beulah are endless, with buyers permitted to customise residences to create lavish homes within the sky.

&ldquo;A selection of our Sky Rise residences will be eligible for Tailored Living, where the possibilities of a custom-designed home truly are endless; think double height to triple height ceilings, five-bedrooms or more, infinity pools... anything is possible.

&ldquo;Across our four distinct collections, we have created a range of residences to suit all buyer demographics; there is truly something for everyone.&rdquo;

Residents will also benefit from a suite of resident-only amenities and offerings, including the recently announced STH BNK Auto Club, a first-of-its-kind fleet of luxury vehicles including BMWs, Teslas, Porches and Range Rovers for residents to use via a car-sharing model; a private Residents&rsquo; Club that offers resort-like amenities and services; neighbourhood &lsquo;pocket&rsquo; parks dotted throughout the towers to provide a place for residents to connect and unwind in nature, as well as STH BNK Concierge, where luxuries like housekeeping, shopping, childminding and beauty treatments are all taken care of.

STH BNK By Beulah will also be home to Four Seasons Melbourne, as well as the country&rsquo;s first innovative cultural centre for young people, overseen by the globally-revered Centre Pompidou.

In 2021, Beulah acquired the neighbouring site, home to Hanover House. The strategic corner location at 158 City Road has allowed Beulah to increase the footprint of STH BNK By Beulah to a total of 7,706sqm, ultimately creating a rare island site with four street frontages.

In addition, the extra site means more space between the two towers - over 45-metres - as well as an increased commercial offering of 50,000sqm, a 2,000sqm public park on Level 7 and increasing the Community Auditorium to 3,000 seats.

STH BNK By Beulah is currently accepting registrations of interest with the official project launch scheduled for Saturday, April 2.
