In a bid to create a more neighbourly environment in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, one of Australia’s most entrepreneurial family firms, Meydan Group, are radically redefining high-rise city living with their latest residential development, 57 Haig Southbank.
Unlike other faceless tower blocks packed with identical apartment units (which offer convenient city living at an affordable price, usually at the expense of differentiation and flexibility) 57 Haig will be a genuine vertical village. The project is intended to bring that cordial neighbourhood lifestyle and sense of community we see so prevalently in the suburbs, into the city.
Designed in partnership between award-winning Bruce Henderson Architects and Wireframe Architecture, this innovative, 38 level development will be defined not only by its people-centric design but also its philosophy of communal living and social connection.
“We wanted to create a ‘stacked’ village square atmosphere,” Wireframe Architecture’s Geoff Dill said. “Multiple communal spaces provide huge scope for connected community living. Step outside your apartment, and you’ve got instant access to a gymnasium, a residents’ lounge to relax and socialise in, a 12-seat cinema, an open terrace with barbeque facilities – even a children’s playground. Residents who like to work from home will also have access to a fully equipped business centre right inside the building, perfect for networking or hosting business meetings”.
It’s not only the range of communal spaces and enticing hotel-style amenities within the village that cuts down the need to travel, 57 Haig is ideally positioned in the heart of Melbourne’s most loved landmarks so that residents can truly enjoy the freedom and convenience of authentic city living.
Young professionals and families with children can say goodbye to grid-locked traffic and ever-elusive parking bays. Simply take a stroll to Melbourne’s CBD, the Yarra River’s buzzing entertainment and dining precinct, South Melbourne’s vibrant village attractions, as well as the city’s best parks, gardens, and sporting arenas.
If you’re craving time spent in nature, hop on the Clarendon Street tram to Port Melbourne Beach or Albert Park Lake, both just minutes away from your doorstep. Enjoy an evening stroll to Melbourne’s hippest bars and restaurants, or venture down to the South Melbourne Market to stock up on fresh produce.
The development includes a range of differently scaled apartments, from one bedroom apartments to family apartments, helping to create a diverse social mix of residents and a dynamic community of people to connect with.
Each apartment features spacious open plan living areas complemented by full-height double-glazed windows, which allow an abundance of natural light to flood through and create stunning skyline vistas across South Melbourne and the CBD skyline.
Set to commence building in April 2019, 57 Haig provides a fresh perspective on contemporary city living and is set to fulfil all the needs of the modern city dweller.
Apartments range from $390,000 for a one bedroom, $595,000 for a two bedroom, while three bedroom apartments start at $1,100,000.
