A look into these exclusive Southbank penthouses

AT A GLANCE: 

• Developer: OSK Property
• Builder: Multiplex
• Number of Residences: 602
• Estimated Completion Date: March 2028

Melbourne, renowned for its distinctive lifestyle blend of culture, arts, and sports, was named the world’s fourth most liveable city by CNN this year. This comes as no surprise, with the Victorian capital offering more than just recreation, but a stable society, healthcare, education, and world-class infrastructure.

Southbank, an inner-city suburb just south of the city, is deemed an important cultural hub of Melbourne. It epitomises the best that the metropolis has to offer, and in the heart of it? Melbourne Square.

This $3 billion lifestyle precinct’s latest residential release, BLVD, characterises luxe city apartment living with its newly released Penthouse Residences – a truly exceptional stand-out in the Melbourne Square collection.

Constructed by the esteemed builder Multiplex and formed from the vision of developer OSK Property, BLVD aims to set a new standard of finer living in Melbourne with these eight meticulously designed homes, curated by internationally renowned designer David Hicks.

The Penthouse Collection

David Hicks, the creative genius behind the penthouse designs, has masterfully blended Eastern elegance with Western luxury to create spaces that are both grand and intimate.

“To establish a unique direction, we looked towards the East and the West for inspiration,” said David.

“From the most luxurious developments in New York to refined Parisian apartments, to luxury hotels in Japan and Asia.”

This global perspective endows this Penthouse Collection with a unique character, offering an exceptional living experience.

“Each apartment has been meticulously designed, documented, and detailed as its own project… ensuring a level of product superior to others,” David said.

Each of BLVD’s seven penthouses boasts a private entry lobby, marble flooring, large island benches and marble benchtops in kitchens, extensive glazing to allow natural light and stunning views from each space, and ensuites to each bedroom. These are truly grand homes in the sky.

The Garnet: BLVD’s duplex penthouse

Akin to Manhattan’s world-class ‘Billionaire’s Row’ penthouses, ‘The Garnet’ is a masterful blend of luxury, elegance, and bespoke craftsmanship. This duplex penthouse is BLVD’s crowning jewel and truly one of a kind.

Upon entering, residents are greeted by a grand hall with a white, sculptural staircase floating above water. Opposite is a wine cellar enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glass framed in polished brass.

The spacious main living area is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows to the right, with the elegant kitchen running its length and connecting to the dining area. A grand island bench made of rich burgundy marble contrasts with a layering of Calcutta viola, while state-of-the-art appliances are concealed for visual effect whilst performing to the most demanding chef.

The Garnet’s primary suite is inspired by luxury hotels worldwide, featuring fabric-lined walls and custom timber veneer joinery topped with another layer of marble. The adjacent dressing room exudes the feel of a chic boutique with silk-like carpeting, patterned timber veneer, more marble, and mirrored panels. Completing the opulent experience is a marble-clad ensuite boasting a custom-designed bathtub against breathtaking bay views.

Composing the finest materials and fittings into a unique sanctuary, The Garnet oozes luxury and elegance.

Melbourne’s most liveable lifestyle precinct

At 19 Hoff Boulevard Southbank, BLVD residents are in the perfect locale to enjoy Melbourne’s finest offerings. The proximity to the Royal Botanical Gardens, the arts precinct, the South Melbourne market, and the CBD places residents at the nexus of culture and convenience.

BLVD is proud to be the first residential project registered for WELL Certification in the city, underscoring a commitment to sustainability and wellbeing, boasting fitness and wellness spaces such as a podium gym, spa, sauna, and 25-metre indoor swimming pool, and podium and terrace gardens with al fresco dining and BBQ facilities.

The development’s design, featuring a curved façade and interiors devised by Carr, includes minimalist palettes and floor-to-ceiling glass that provide stunning views and flood each residence with natural light.

As anticipation for BLVD grows, so does the opportunity to be part of what is destined to be one of Melbourne’s most enviable addresses. The launch of the BLVD Penthouse Residences on the 20th of September 2024 marked a pivotal moment in luxury living in the city.

The penthouses span between 180 sqm and 471 sqm, with prices starting from $4.46 million. Melbourne Square’s next residential tower, BLVD, is expected to be completed by March 2028.
