St Kilda

Luxury developer Tim Gurner and his wife Aimee have listed their luxury two-level apartment at GURNER's&nbsp;Saint Moritz project in St Kilda.

The two-level, 500 sqm apartment has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a six-car garage, and is one of just 20 apartments in St Moritz that features floor-to-ceiling water views and private lift access.

The Gurner's retained the apartment when the project, designed by Fender Katsalidis, Koichi Takada, and interior designer David Hicks, was first launched.

The interiors have been completely customised and designed personally by Tim and Aimee, who is an interior designer, in consultation with the GURNERTM design team.

Entry is through a marble-clad lift lobby, which meets a six-metre double-height void in the kitchen, living and dining zones to maximise the water views.

Over $500,000 worth of Italian stone and marble including Calacatta Gold, Nero Marquina and Travertine frame the interiors from the custom kitchen island through to the custom-designed cabinetry and joinery.

The kitchen features an almost five-metre long island, and a concealed butler’s kitchen.

The second living and entertaining space showcases a bespoke billiards table complete with custom finishes and design detailing, while the secluded games lounge is equipped with a kitchenette featuring integrated Liebherr and Vintec refrigeration.

A curved custom-designed helical staircase leads to the second level,&nbsp;finished in polished plaster with a custom brass floating handrail and feature LED lighting. The staircase cost $500,000 to install.

The master suite occupies almost the entire top floor, complete with a custom $120,000 sauna in the grand ensuite, an expansive walk-in robe, separate study and stunning private living retreat with an open fireplace to soak up the bay views.

"When we launched Saint Moritz, we set out to create something that simply did not yet exist in the market, something that had no comparable sales or properties, something that was only emulated in five star resorts in places like New York, Miami or London," Tim Gurner says.

“We took inspiration from around the globe and then pushed it even further with the on-site amenity and dedication to wellness at Samsara. The result is like having your own private-day spa retreat downstairs.

“These unique and truly incomparable elements led to the insatiable demand when Saint Moritz first went to market.

“My wife Aimee and I worked closely with our GURNER design team to create a residence that represents the most luxurious elements of modern life, while taking the Saint Moritz experience to another level yet again.

“Wellness is such a pivotal pillar of my life which is why we wanted to complement the amenities of Samsara downstairs with the residence’s own private wellness features. The benefits of infra-red saunas are incredible and I incorporate the practice into my own daily routine, so we included the custom sauna to the master suite upstairs.

“After living through COVID, we as a community have turned to more intimate dining and entertaining with friends so the custom bar, games lounge and billiards table make the most of this incredible residence – why go out when the new owner can entertain guests at home while Port Phillip Bay shimmers in the foreground.

“My favourite element of the residence has to be the incredibly rare and sought after double height living and dining space that open up to the incredible bay and water views, which offer a front row seat to some of the most breathtaking sunsets I have ever seen.

“Due to the investment into quality, rarity, luxury and the lived experience in both this residence and Saint Moritz, we are expecting interest from both local and international buyers,” Gurner said.

Within the home is an exclusive selection of furniture, handpicked by Tim and Aimee, from luxury overseas brands including B&amp;B ITALIA, MAXALTO and Louis Poulsen, complemented by bespoke pieces locally produced by Australian artisans and manufacturers.

The furniture is worth a combined total of over $500,000 and is available for select buyers.

Full inclusions and custom design elements include: 
 
• Three bio-ethanol fireplaces clad in feature stone (living/dining, games bar lounge and 
executive lounge with a total approx. cost of $150k) 
• Bespoke sauna to master ensuite (total cost approx. $120K)

Tim Gurner lists private Saint Mortiz apartment for $15 million

Malaysian property developer Gamuda Land is continuing to expand it's foothold in the Melbourne apartment market.

Gamuda Land, led by CEO Ngan Chee Meng, have lodged plans for a new mixed-use St Kilda development at 95 St Kilda Road.

Gamuda Land have previously developed 661 Chapel Street in South Yarra and recently secured a 2,600 sqm site in Fishermans Bend, where they are plotting a 200-apartment, mixed-use tower.

The plans for 78 St Kilda Road are for an 18-level building with 78 apartments designed by Bayley Ward Architects. There will be a ground floor co-working space and a cafe tenancy.

Bayley Ward have drawn inspiration from the local heritage of St Kilda.

In their design submission to the Port Phillip Council, Bayley Ward described the proposal as "A living breathing building with a green vertical spine, connecting residents from ground fl oor to a communal landscaped rooftop garden."

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7cc799f6-2017-470d-b4e1-47e6c41f8278" href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/95-st-kilda-road-st-kilda"><img alt="Render of the proposed St Kilda Rd development" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-23%20at%202.42.42%20pm.png?VersionId=uhmQIZ0Kh7Wii5fJeXB6ENkQO9jlpxGh" /></a>Render of the proposed St Kilda Rd development.&nbsp;

The tower will be broken down in 10 one-bedroom apartments, 29 two-bedders and 39 three-bedroom units.&nbsp;

A penthouse is set to spread across the 16th and 17th floors. The lower level will have two-bedrooms, a living area, laundry, and two bathrooms, while the upper level comprises the master suite, as well as kitchen, living and dining areas. The penthouse will also include a private rooftop terrace, with 170 sqm of open space. That will connect to the communal rooftop space.&nbsp;

A central building atrium will be located across the first floor, providing 297 sqm of communal, in addition to a communal rooftop terrace, which will include a community vegetable patch.&nbsp;

The development will boast a fossil-free status, with the sustainable design running on 100 per cent renewable energy supply.

Hip v Hype were in charge of the sustainable elements of the project.

"95 St Kilda Road brings high quality, sustainable apartment living to St Kilda," the planning submission documents noted.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3956b5cd-0f0f-4075-a6f8-e83263728c0a" href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/95-st-kilda-road-st-kilda"><img alt="Render of the proposed St Kilda Rd development" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-23%20at%202.42.59%20pm.png?VersionId=USLM1_.SFIIJ4f1BtiwZYFtunB304vdv" /></a>Render of the proposed St Kilda Rd development.&nbsp;

"In collaboration with Bayley Ward, this high exposure site on St Kilda road provides highly efficient dwellings, coupled with 100% renewable energy supply, in a fossil-fuel free development.

"On-site solar photovoltaic electricity generation complements this efficiency and zero-carbon energy commitment.

"The design responses detailed in this SMP effectively integrate sustainability for this project, and will deliver occupant-focussed spaces, reductions in carbon emissions associated with electricity and transportation, improve resource efficiency, minimising impact and enhancing natural systems consistent with climate resilient principles."

Tract have handled the landscaping of the project, noting their landscape design will aim to provide a green overlay to the built form with an abundance of planting including vines, ferns and trees that are suited to the micro-climate of the various external spaces.

"The planting will cool the innercity urban environment and provide a lush and welcoming environment. The landscape will provide numerous high quality communal spaces that are designed to encourage social connection between the residents of the development."

The project is expected to launch to the market later this year.

Why St Boulevard's St Kilda Road location can not be repeated

St Boulevard, located at the intersection of the grand St. Kilda Boulevard and the Melbourne CBD, is home to three towers, Magnolia, Anaca and Ginko, named after the trees that serve as a garden centerpiece that links the three buildings.

Recently completed to a design by the renowned architecture firm Elenberg Fraser,&nbsp;the biophilic towers rise as high as 21&nbsp;storeys and home 419&nbsp;one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Apartments start from $410,000.

Urban has taken a closer look at St Boulevard and picked out its top selling points.

<h2>1. Developed by The Shakespeare Group</h2>

On each of its projects, The Shakespeare Group team begins with the careful selection of a location that will offer an exceptional level of amenity, as seen in St Boulevard.

The group then collaborates with industry experts like those at Elenberg Fraser, combining&nbsp;research, deep metrics and complex analyses to make&nbsp;decisions.

&quot;Unique, innovative and future-focused, The Shakespeare Group creates liveable spaces and lifestyle-driven communities to be enjoyed now and for years to come,&quot; the group said.

Other projects by The Shakespeare Group include, Habitat, Twin Waters in Queensland,&nbsp;Pullman Cairns and more commercial Melbourne developments on Collins and Bourke Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1260 project_image_fid=173489]

<h2>2. Designed by the award-winning experts at Elenberg Fraser</h2>

Elenberg Fraser is an expert in multi-residential architecture and interior design, currently delivering around 42% of the apartments nearing completion and under construction in Melbourne.&nbsp;

The global practice has won a number of awards for its local projects in Melbourne, such as&nbsp;&nbsp;Fifty Albert in South Melbourne, Luna in St Kilda and A&rsquo;Beckett Tower on Melbourne&rsquo;s A&rsquo;Beckett Street.

&ldquo;We create flexible spaces that can be adapted to a range needs, with practical yet individual approaches to interior design,&quot; the architecture firm say.

&ldquo;Elenberg Fraser residential projects have demonstrated their potential to improve returns and work within strict floorplan and cost considerations, but also provide truly inhabitable environments that excite and engage their owners and tenants.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1260 project_image_fid=175274]

<h2>3. Location,&nbsp;Location, Location</h2>

Located at&nbsp;601 St Kilda Road,&nbsp;St. Boulevard provides residents with a green&nbsp;lifestyle within walking distance to Albert Park to the West and the Royal Botanic Gardens to the East.

St. Kilda is one of Melbourne&rsquo;s most eclectic suburbs brimming with creativity, talent, innovation and entertainment.

The Shakespeare Group said St. Boulevard is placed between a concrete jungle and a bohemian hub with some of the quirkiest boutiques and restaurants lining Fitzroy and Acland Streets, just a few tram stops from home.

Some of Melbourne&rsquo;s best cultural and entertainment venues are close by as it&#39;s not far from the heart of&nbsp;Melbourne&rsquo;s Arts Precinct.

St. Boulevard&nbsp;is within walking distance to some of the best public and private schools in Melbourne. Take a short tram ride into the city, and residents are close to some of Australia&#39;s top-ranking universities.

<h2>4. Over 2,000 sqm of resident amenity</h2>

St. Boulevard offers a multitude of exclusive facilities for residents, set in the natural leafy surroundings.

Private kitchens and dining rooms can be booked by residents, with space available in the climate-controlled wine storage racks. There&#39;s a library room that features an open fireplace, as well as a health club with spa, sauna and steam rooms.

A state-of-the-art gym is also on site, complete with&nbsp;a heated lagoon and lap pool. Outdoors there&#39;s resort-style outdoor pavilions, BBQ pods, garden seating areas and a children&#39;s play area.

The centerpiece of the development is the garden, home to large tree&#39;s after which the buildings are named, Magnolia, Ginko and Anaca.

Why St Boulevard apartments on the fringe of Melbourne's CBD should be on a buyers shortlist

A St Kilda island site spanning 1,370sqm has been bought by a local apartment developer for $7.9 million.

As the suburb continues along the regeneration path, Fitzroys&rsquo; Mark Talbot and Shawn Luo, together with Danny Clark and Michael Gross of Gross Waddell ICR, sold the property at 344-360 St Kilda Road via a June expressions of interest campaign.

It was listed by the vendor who had accumulated the site at the corner of Pakington Street, opposite the Queens&#39; Arms Hotel apartment complex.

The initial 756 sqm acquisition was the corner block in 2012 at $2.7 million. There was then a $3.5 million acquisition in 2016.

The site comes with a permit for a premium six-storey mixed-use development, with 44 apartments and a net saleable area of 4,743sqm.

The local developer buyer was attracted to the project which has residences designed for the growing downsizer and owner occupier segments of the market.&nbsp;

The site is on one of Melbourne&rsquo;s main inner-city arterials serviced by multiple tram routes at its doorstep, walking and cycling trails and Balaclava train station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29048 project_image_fid=151675]

The site currently comprises a single-level showroom and office tenanted by Tradelink and SMR Advertising.

Cordell Connect indicated 344, 350 and 352-360 St Kilda Road had an estimated value of $15 million on construction.

It traded on a sharp 2.4% yield.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The market recognised this site as the largest development opportunity in the suburb for some time, with nearly 200 enquiries received from enthusiastic parties,&rdquo; Talbot said.

&quot;There&rsquo;s a host of residential, retail and commercial projects that promise to bring a new vibrancy to a famous Melbourne location.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89720 project_image_fid=147514]

&ldquo;St Kilda&rsquo;s lifestyle attributes makes it uniquely attractive to a number of demographics, and its catchment comprises established, affluent and transient cohorts.&nbsp;

Last month Colliers sold a development site, zoned commercial 1 zoned, at 102-112 St Kilda Road at an undisclosed price.

The offering was six adjoining properties totalling 827 sqm.

It had been listed unsuccessfully in 2018 with $6 million hopes for all six, having been acquired by the vendors over time, with CoreLogic records showing the last separate sale had been No. 102 for $900,000 in 2012.

Gross Waddell ICR currently has another high-profile St Kilda Road corner freehold for sale with a recently approved permit for a mixed use development. 
&nbsp; 
It is at 46-52 St Kilda Road.

The developer had sought an eight-storey building comprising ground level retail, 26 dwellings, 44 car parking spaces, 33 car stacker parking spaces and 31 on site and two on-street bicycle spaces in 2020, and then secured permission for an eight storey mixed use development consisting of 2,902 sqm* of NSA

The plans offer oversized apartments with a blended average of 116 sqm* of NSA per apartment.

An off the plan two-level Saint Moritz, St Kilda luxury apartment has been offered for sale.

There is no price guidance for the 522 sqm, four-bedroom, four-bathroom space which features six metre ceilings that look out to Port Phillip Bay. 

The apartment comes with an upper master bedroom suite with an executive lounge and an open fire-place.

There is 16 sqm of balcony space and six car spaces.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/saint-moritz-14-16-the-esplanade-st-kilda"><img alt="" height="663" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image_1_2.jpg" width="1023"></a>

The 1301/1401 apartment is being offered through Gurner agent Deborah Wiltshire.

There was a sales advisory from Gurner that 95 percent of Saint Moritz had been sold in mid-2019 when it had recorded $480 million in sales.

The 95 per cent sales tally represented 127 residences of the project's 133 dwellings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2484]

In early 2019, Gurner set Melbourne’s new price record for an apartment sale, securing a reported $30 million for the seven-bedroom penthouse at its ultra-luxury development.

It has 650 sqm internally and 150 sqm externally, plus a seven-car private garage. 

A $9 million sale by Gurner within the project was recently secured by Michael Paproth at The Agency.

The Melbourne-based property developer GURNERTM has secured St Kilda's well known Cushion Lounge and has lodged $35 million plans to create what will be the first in a series of new concept hotels under the Club Maison brand.

Club Maison will provide ultra-luxury boutique short and long-stay accomodation.

Gurner, who paid $2.25 million for the 99 Fitzroy Street building, has had the Sydney HQ'd Warren and Mahoney Architects draw up plans for the first concept hotel, with 25 rooms across six levels. There will be hotel facilities such as a swimming pool and outdoor dining space.

<img alt="" height="1200" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/club_maison_gurner_2.jpg" width="1200">

From Fitzroy Street, where there will be a commercial space facing the street, it will look like the building has just three levels.

The design takes its cues from the Palazzo della Civilta Italiana in Rome and Mondadori building in Milan, with huge arched windows lining the façade, while exposed concrete, brick and steel in repeating curvilinear forms pay homage to Fitzroy Street’s iconic buildings including The George, Brooklawn Mansion and the neighbouring St Kilda terrace homes.

<img alt="" height="1600" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/club_maison_facade_3.jpg" width="1200">

GURNERTM founder and director, Tim Gurner said the Club Maison concept would become an exciting way forward for our brand, carving out a niche in an asset class that is not strictly residential.

“When you look at the successful business model of Soho House in London and New York, we want to take a similar approach and apply it at a local scale.

“Our Club Maison buildings will offer discerning Australians a private club experience with long and short term stays, private and public amenity and a very big focus on world-class hospitality offerings.

“These projects will become long-term investments for us as we look to strategically hold more assets across our portfolio into the future,” he said.

The developer confirmed it had adopted an aggressive acquisition mindset throughout 2020 and plans to acquire 12 to 15 sites of varying scale across the country within the coming 12 to 18 months.

“We are aggressively looking for further sites as the business continues to diversify and grow,” said Gurner.

The site is located just metres from the developer’s first landmark St Kilda project, Saint Moritz, which secured a record penthouse sale last year.

“Saint Moritz really re-invigorated my love for St Kilda – we are excited about the opportunities here and I believe St Kilda is really just at the beginning of a once-in-a- generation transformation."
