Nedlands

The affluent suburb of Nedlands,&nbsp;which stretches from the banks of the Swan River to the edge of the Indian Ocean, is gearing up to welcome it's newest residential development.&nbsp;

In a joint venture between Aria Land and Blueways Group, the pair will bring a balance of modern functionality coupled with sustainability, with just 32 apartments set for the boutique project.

Set across six levels, Jardin has been designed by Hassell and will offer spacious one, two and three-bedroom apartments, donned with a mix of materials, coupled with abundant greenery and residential amenity.&nbsp;

The architects at Hassell say Jardin captures the essence of its enviable Nedlands location.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110130 project_image_fid=185784]

"The striking, contemporary form is expressed through a carefully curated selection of materials and extensive landscaping that set the backdrop to these beautifully designed, elegant apartments.”

They've collaborated with Source Energy for Jardin, who were the first company in Western Australia to combine grid energy with the installation of solar panels and batteries into an integrated energy network.

“Jardin’s collaboration with Source Energy who are powered by major energy company ATCO, proved its passion for innovating processes that result in benefits flowing directly through to homeowners, the community and the planet," Source Energy say.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110130 project_image_fid=185794]

Jardin harnesses renewable, green energy by supplementing traditional grid electricity with solar and battery systems. This results in strata bill savings to owners while producing a more sustainable energy solution.

The best practice energy-efficient design approach at Jardin creates dual aspect layouts to provide cross ventilation to facilitate natural cooling and maximise city and river views.

The project also features full-height energy-efficient glazing to maximise natural light, promote thermal comfort, while also utilising laminated glass to mitigate external noise.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110130 project_image_fid=185790]

The residents’ communal garden and oversized balcony planter boxes have been designed with considered landscaping and retic controlled waterwise plantings to protect against UV rays from the afternoon sun.

Residents will be welcomed into Jardin through a spacious lobby, with plentiful seating areas, with further residential amenity located on level two, including a communal lounge and a dining and kitchen area.&nbsp;

There's also a fully-equipped gym with premium equipment from Italian health giants Technogym who have been the offical supplier to seven Olympic Games.&nbsp;

Not only does Jardin benefit from it's proximity to the Swan River, Kings Park is also nearby, along with Nedlands golf, tennis and yacht clubs.&nbsp;

The development also encourages sustainable transport with secure bike parking which easily allows residents to take advantage of the close by riverside cycleways and public transport, while also including electric recharging stations.&nbsp;

Sustainability at the forefront of Nedlands apartment development, Jardin

The partnership between Aria Land and Blueways Group has led to a suite of new Nedlands apartment developments with Rivean Residences proving to be the most popular so far.

Construction is underway at Rivean, which is already over 50 per cent sold. Completion of the 28 Giorgi-designed apartments is slated for 2023.

Urban sat down with Blueways Development Manager, Paul Simpson to get some insider information on the popular Perth development

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95299 project_image_fid=178797]

Max Kwok: Rivean Residences is a cooperative effort between Blueways and AriaLand. What strengths do each party bring that add value to the project?

Paul Simpson: Blueways brings its property development experience in Melbourne and substantial capital strength, whilst Aria Land contributes its expertise experience in Perth, where it has established a track record of the development of highly regarded and awarded high-end residential developments.

MK: What are the highlights of Rivean and what is attracting buyers to the project?

PS: Rivean&rsquo;s architects are Giorgi, with whom Aria Land has collaborated in the development of what are considered Perth&rsquo;s most exclusive residential projects, Ten Bellevue and Echelon, which were both awarded HIA Australian Apartment of the Year and WA Apartment of the Year. Giorgi&rsquo;s name is highly regarded in Perth, and has been an attraction to buyers, most of whom emanate from Perth&rsquo;s western suburbs, where Giorgi&rsquo;s architecture is best known and sought after.

Rivean is at the river-end of Broadway, and enjoys wonderful vistas ranging from Kings Park, the CBD and over the Swan River. These views have proven a great attraction to buyers, in addition to the amenity of the Broadway caf&eacute; and retail strip, and the nearby UWA and Queen Elizabeth Medical Centre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95299 project_image_fid=178804]

MK: What were the goals you set out for the architect team at Giorgi?

PS: A contemporary outcome was sought, with clean lines. The balustrade glazing is frameless, to lighten the fa&ccedil;ade, which features planters on various floors and building corners. Giorgi was asked to provide oversized two and three bedroom residences, including two top-floor penthouses. The foliage is designed to be viewed from both inside and outside the development, to further fit in to the leafy Nedlands environment.

The development was also designed to cater for those who may want to work from home, and so most apartments enjoy studies or study nooks, whilst the ground floor features a Business Hub. The residents&rsquo; parking bays and storerooms are also over-sized, which differentiates the development to all others on offer.

MK: Where have buyers for Rivean come from, and who is the development appealing to?

PS: The development is designed for down-sizers, primarily local residents moving from a larger, older home, typical of Nedlands and adjacent suburbs. The proximity to UWA and the QEII Medical Centre has also attracted interest from academics and the medical profession.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95299 project_image_fid=178805]

However, this being the first development in Nedlands under the recently introduced town planning allowing residential buildings of 6 levels in small pockets of the suburb, many of Rivean&rsquo;s apartments are only half the price of a typical Nedlands house. This has provided an entry to the aspirational buyer, who was previously precluded from the western suburbs market due to the house pricing reflecting its exclusivity.

MK: How does Rivean Residences stand out compared to your other upcoming Perth projects?

PS: Most of our other developments also entail a number one bedroom/study apartments, particularly those closer to the UWA and Medical Centre. Rivean residences are larger on average, both internally and in terms of balcony or terrace size. The gym facilities are larger, and the number of residences is fewer, adding to Rivean&rsquo;s exclusivity. Being closer to the river, its views are also sought after.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95299 project_image_fid=178799]

MK: Were there any challenges during the development process that had to be overcome? How did you handle the lockdowns?

PS: The merits of the architecture and new living opportunities of lock and leave, no maintenance accommodation won the approval for our four Nedlands developments and was achieved over a six month period.&nbsp;

The speed of the sales uptake has supported the recent town planning changes; Rivean and our other developments in Nedlands are satisfying a home sector which previously didn&rsquo;t exist. The approval process wasn&rsquo;t affected by COVID, as WA has been fortunate in avoiding the long lockdowns of other states. COVID did, however, allow us to include design features in our apartments, such as a separate study or desk space to accommodate working from home, the new normal following COVID.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93813 project_image_fid=178506]

Located on Broadway in Nedlands, each one, two and three bed design offers an open-plan layout, with premium finishes, stone benchtops and Miele appliances. Every apartment comes with its&nbsp;own balcony or terrace.

Featuring Swan River and city views, it is close to some of Perth's finest shops, cafes, bars and transport links. It is also within the catchment of some of Perth’s most prestigious primary schools, namely&nbsp;Nedlands Primary School and&nbsp;Loreto Nedlands Primary School.

Bordered by Swan River foreshore: How Rivean Residences fit in to Perth's affluent Nedlands

The Nedlands apartment of Kevin Manuel and Elizabeth Gaines, the newly appointed CFO to Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest's mining company Fortsecue Metals, is under contract. 
The sale comes after the couple upgraded to a luxury three level apartment near Cottesloe Beach that set them back $3.57 million.
The 221 sqm apartment across the road from Charles Court Reserve and the Swan River has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
A semi-enclosed entertaining balcony opens from the living areas.
It came onto the market at $1,695,000 when listed over 400 days ago.

The five bedroom home was bought by Australian cricketer Mitchell Starc for $5,235,000.
Their new Cottesloe apartment is set in a block of just four designed by the award winning architect Blane Brackenridge.
It came with interiors from New York designers Al Martinez of Interior Management and Greg Wright.
Gaines stepped down from the board of Nine Entertainment in January.
