In a city where new apartment opportunities are few and far between, FIVE FIVE SEVEN - 557 marks a quietly significant moment for Albury. 

This boutique residential address sits just metres from the Albury Botanic Gardens and moments from the town’s main street, introducing a thoughtful blend of design, comfort and connection - the first new apartment building in the local market in around eight years.

Developed and built by Barker Group, FIVE FIVE SEVEN reflects a hands-on approach to quality and delivery - one that prioritises longevity, liveability, and confidence for future residents.

Boutique by design

With just 18 apartments across three levels, FIVE FIVE SEVEN has been intentionally scaled to feel personal rather than imposing. This is a collection of homes where every space feels purposeful, balanced and thoughtfully resolved - a true expression of contemporary boutique living.

The architecture is defined by clean lines, softly curved balconies and refined textures, creating a building that feels contemporary without demanding attention. Generous windows and open-plan living areas invite sunlight and airflow, while the overall form sits comfortably within its established neighbourhood.

A home for every stage of life

The residential mix at FIVE FIVE SEVEN has been designed to suit a range of lifestyles, including a collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, all offering at least one car space.

These apartments are not merely functional; they are designed to feel open, calm and connected to their surroundings. Open living and dining zones flow naturally to private balconies - inviting residents to dine, relax or entertain in comfort.

The thoughtful apartment mix ensures there are options for people looking to downsize without compromise, as well as investors seeking a well-positioned asset in a low-supply market.

Interiors that feel like home

Inside, residences continue the same carefully considered design language found throughout the building. 

Interiors combine natural timber tones or grey-green cabinetry, stone benchtops and soft, ambient lighting to create a sense of ease and cohesion. These calm, durable palettes provide a backdrop that feels welcoming without being overwhelming.

Bedrooms are planned for comfort, with wardrobes and generous proportions that enhance usability and tranquillity; while bathrooms feature elegant fixtures and clean lines, ensuring spaces that are easy to maintain and pleasant to use over time.

Everything within reach

One of FIVE FIVE SEVEN’s strongest attributes is its location. Positioned just moments from Albury’s vibrant town centre, residents are surrounded by daily conveniences that make living effortless. 

Just 100 metres from the Botanic Gardens, residents can start their day with a walk among greenery or unwind in open space without leaving the neighbourhood. For many, this kind of easy access to nature - alongside everyday essentials - is a defining feature of modern regional living.

“Residents will enjoy a plethora of local attractions, all within close proximity to their apartment - including the Botanical Gardens, cafés, restaurants, walking trails, shopping and parks,” said Stean Nicholls Projects director David Stean.

It is, indeed, a location that supports both independence and connection, appealing equally to downsizers seeking convenience and investors recognising the strength of well-located, low-supply housing.

A rare opportunity, thoughtfully delivered

With Albury’s last new apartment release dating back to 2018 - The Hamilton Albury, also developed and built by Barker Group - FIVE FIVE SEVEN arrives at a moment when demand for quality, low-maintenance living is rising, yet supply remains limited. Its boutique scale, central location and considered design position it as a lasting addition to the city, rather than a short-lived trend.

Targeting completion in July 2026, FIVE FIVE SEVEN offers a rare chance to secure a new apartment in one of Albury’s most walkable and established pockets - a place where modern living is thoughtfully integrated into the fabric of the city.
