Construction starts in $3 billion Melbourne’s Square’s next stage

AT A GLANCE:

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

The next residential release in the $3 billion Melbourne Square precinct is taking shape, with Multiplex appointed as builder, celebrated by the recent groundbreaking ceremony led by developer OSK Property earlier this month. BLVD, the 74-storey residential tower, is set to be completed in Q1 2028, offering upscale apartment living in a coveted Southbank address.

The start of construction in July 2024 heralds the rise of a structure that seamlessly blends architectural sustainability with modern luxury. The enthusiasm surrounding BLVD has been palpable, with over 50% of residences sold out since its official launch nine months ago.

Further demonstrating a strong market demand, the project’s acclaimed Edition Residences have launched, occupying the tower’s levels 56 to 61.

The Edition Residences

The Edition Residences at BLVD, a subset offering exceptional two and three-bedroom apartments, characterises luxe city apartment living with three bedrooms spanning 145 to 174 sqm – a rarity in the Melbourne CBD.

This select range reflects superior living spaces complemented by warm, timber flooring, air conditioning in the living room and master bedroom, top-tier S6 and S8 European Bosch kitchen appliances and, for a limited time only, marbled DEKTON kitchen benchtops and splashback – a step up from what the Gallery Residences offers.  

Sky high, located in the tower’s 56 to 61 storeys, these homes occupy some of the best positions in Melbourne Square to overlook the city, granting living spaces skyline and garden views. With only six residences per level, you are also ensured generous space and utmost privacy.

Wellness amenities galore

BLVD’s allure is further enhanced by extensive wellness and entertainment amenities exclusive to residents. The L55 Skye Club is a highlight, boasting an elegant cocktail lounge, premium dining space, and a well-equipped gym – exclusive only to the Edition residents.

With BLVD being one of the first residential projects in Australia registered to pursue WELL Certification, the development demonstrates industry excellence in meeting stringent sustainability goals. What’s more, it is home to wellness facilities such as a podium gymnasium, spa, sauna, and a 25-metre indoor swimming pool. The podium and terrace gardens host a zen garden, al fresco dining areas, BBQ facilities, and lounges. While the resident lounge, dining rooms, cinema/karaoke room, and golf simulator make the perfect places to entertain loved ones.

A celebrated development

Tan Sri Ong Leong Huat, OSK Group’s Executive Chairman, shared his thoughts on BLVD’s significant construction milestone: “The BLVD groundbreaking represents a major milestone for the Melbourne Square precinct, which has two existing towers and will also feature a build-to-rent tower alongside the build-to-sell residences.”

Echoing this sentiment, Ross Snowball, Multiplex’s Regional Managing Director for Victoria and South Australia, highlighted the collaborative success: “After delivering the first two towers, we are excited to deliver the third tower, BLVD – continuing the same community legacy we started back in 2017.”

City of Melbourne Deputy Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece also praised BLVD’s potential to transform this Southbank address: “BLVD will be a transformational development for Melbourne’s CBD, adding critical housing stock to the market as well as important residential and local amenities.”

From the team’s overarching vision to the meticulously planned amenities, BLVD targets those who appreciate the fine balance between opulent city living and functional sophistication.

One-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments are still available at BLVD, with one-bedrooms priced from $578,000. The Edition Collection’s residences range from $1,255,000 to $2,680,000.
