Yarra River

Salta Properties has announced the topping out and completion of the main structural works at its riverfront development, Walmer, at 649 Victoria Street, Abbotsford.

Prominent builders, Hamilton Marino have been tasked with constructing the Yarra River bend development, which will deliver an unrivalled living experience, according to Salta Managaing Director, Sam Tarascio.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3475 project_image_fid=150827]

&ldquo;This milestone marks another achievement for Walmer, which has seen strong interest largely from owner occupier purchasers throughout construction, bringing the development to 65 per cent sold,&rdquo; he said.

Tarascio attributes the popularity of the development to its luxurious offerings, which are the work of revered architects, Bates Smart, along with the site&rsquo;s prime river frontage.

&ldquo;Walmer is a reminder of what true sophistication is, weaving hotel-like splendour into the development&rsquo;s natural urban river sanctuary, creating contemporary and luxurious comforts that are sympathetic to its natural surrounds,&rdquo; Tarascio added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3475 project_image_fid=150789]

The project recently received a Commendation for Design Excellence at The Urban Development Institute of Australia&#39;s (UDIA) Awards, due in part to Walmer&rsquo;s focus in delivering flexible spaces that can pivot and flex to suite a wide buyer type.

Salta has also refined the project, amalgamating apartments from the initial 75 that were proposed, to now 61.

Standing as a threshold between the vibrancy of Victoria Street and the tranquillity of the Yarra River corridor, Walmer&rsquo;s resort-style, nature-influenced experience offers an impressive list of premium amenities, including a porte-cochere entrance, a climate-controlled room for wine-tasting and storage, a complete health and wellness suite including a 25-metre swimming pool overlooking the river, a fully equipped gymnasium, steam room, sauna, treatment room, as well as business and resident dining facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3475 project_image_fid=150816]

Communal areas will also be fitted out with some of the country&rsquo;s best designer&rsquo;s pieces, including Melbourne-based lighting designer, Christopher Boots luxury furniture from Jarden and Kett Furniture, as well as unique photography from Brooke Holmes&rsquo; featuring her famous dramatic Australian landscapes.

Taking Walmer to another level is the integrated building management platform, WE Wumbo, which will provide peace of mind services and communication, adding another layer of luxury to the already impressive project.

Residents of Walmer are expected to take up residence in early 2023, with a limited number of riverfront apartments remaining, ranging from $600,000 to $5,250,000.

Salta Properties top out Yarra River apartment development, Walmer

Residents of Riverbank in Melbourne&#39;s Abbotsford have one of the most enviable addresses.

On the banks of the Yarra River, the Salta Properties development on Victoria Street&nbsp;has been designed by SJB Architects, in collaboration with Carr Design, to&nbsp;blend&nbsp;luxury riverfront living with inner-city residency.

Located not far from the well-known&nbsp;Skipping Girl commercial building and across from Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre, Riverbank is positioned to enjoy the best Abbotsford has to offer.

The popular shopping strip on Glenferrie Road in Kew is a five-minute drive, while Xavier College is just seven-minutes by tram. The tram stop, on the doorstep of Riverbank, offers a convenient commute, while&nbsp;North Richmond station just a short walk away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=194168]

Swan Street wine bar and The Ugly Duckling is five-minutes away from the building, while dining is on the door of The Park House, with Victoria Street and Bridge Road restaurants all within walking distance.

Slightly further afield is&nbsp;the Southgate precinct and Crown Casino, just 10-minutes by car. &nbsp;

Riverbank residents also get extensive amenity in the development.

The sustainable 6+ energy rated building&nbsp;features a number of resident-only amenities, including a swimming pool and gym, cinema, a lounge&nbsp;space, kid&#39;s playroom, bike workshop and even a vaunted golf simulation room.

On the banks of the Yarra River: What's around Riverbank, Abbotsford apartments

Last month the Victorian government ended their stamp duty concessions for off the plan and brand new apartments statewide.&nbsp;

They continue to offer savings for new apartments up to $1 million only in the Melbourne CBD, but those outside of the CBD will revert back to paying full stamp duty.

Discerning developers who are either constructing or have completed apartments outside of the City of Melbourne LGA have continued to offer the stamp duty concessions in an attempt to lure buyers.

The property developer Salta Properties is offering to stump up 50 per cent of stamp duty for buyers in their Abbotsford apartment development, Riverbank.

Buyers can save between $11,000 and $20,000 on stamp duty in the recently completed Victoria Street project on the banks of the Yarra River, less than four kilometres outside of the city. The concessions are on offer until 30th September 2021.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=156269]

One-bedroom apartments start from $505,000 and two-bedroom apartments from $740,000.

The nine-level building has been designed by SJB Architects and is finished with interiors by Sue Carr at Carr Design Group. It is one of two buildings at The Park House, each with their own amenities, with the adjoining Riverbend apartments part of the development.

&ldquo;Our intention was to create a space that had a true sense of home but also a memorable atmosphere,&rdquo; Sue Carr said.

&ldquo;We want the purchasers to feel a connection with the landscape.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4136 project_image_fid=156385]

Each apartment has Gaggeneau appliances in the kitchen, engineered oak floors and marble-effect stone.&nbsp;

The sustainable 6+ energy rated development includes a number of resident only amenities, including a swimming pool, sauna and gym, cinema, a lounge and library space, meeting room, kids play hut, bike workshop and even a golf simulation room.

$4 million expected for rare river frontage site in Hawthorn

A 50 metre glowing sculpture will rise six metres out of the Yarra River designed by Melbourne artist Tracy Sarroff and feature 16 buoyant crystalline shards made from opaque acrylic, that will move with the tide and interact with pedestrians.
The development in the Yarra River at Yarra’s Edge in Docklands, named the Light Buoys, was commissioned by Yarra’s Edge developer, Mirvac, was inspired by the formation of reeds that are native to the Yarra.
Elysa Anderson, Mirvac’s General Manager of Residential Victoria said Light Buoys takes into account the design intent for the urban character of the Yarra’s Edge precinct and embraces the urban and riverfront nature of the precinct.
Artist Tracy Sarroff said she had been inspired by both science and science fiction to produce the artwork with its glowing shards of mostly cobalt blue and icy green shades, which will warm to red and pink hues when sonar sensors detect pedestrians moving closer.
“Light Buoys takes inspiration from science fact and science fiction, transforming what were once reeds and the West Melbourne Swamp, the work melds that natural past with a potential future,” she said.
“Although crafted using science and technology, the installation has life-like features: moving, breathing, pulsing and responding to the proximity of others.
“The installation enhances the locale and the riverside vista which are prime features influencing residents’ decision to move to Yarra’s Edge, while similarly enhancing the Yarra’s Edge experience for visitors and the art journey that exists along the Yarra."
Victorian Minister for Creative Industries, Martin Foley, officially launched the artwork in a ceremony on 1 August 2017.

It has been the work of Michael Cohn, who runs his own business importing and distributing textiles in Australia, and his wife Ann. 
They paid $1,404,000 for the 8,200 sqm double block in 1996.
