Hampton Ltd reaches lock-up: Three distinctive buildings completing this year in Bayside Melbourne

AT A GLANCE: 

• Developer: Spyre
• Builder: AbeWolf
• Address: 36 Deakin Street North, Hampton, VIC 3188
• No. of Residences: 23
• Estimated Completion Date: Late 2026

Spyre’s first Victorian venture has hit a significant milestone. Hampton Ltd has reached the lock-up stage, meaning the façade is on, windows are glazed, and the roof is waterproofed.

From here, family-owned construction firm AbeWolf will move construction indoors with fit-out, joinery, finishes, and stone.

For those who’ve been watching this one, now is the time to look closely: construction is completing this year, and two-bedroom residences start from $1.65 million.

Three buildings. Three distinct characters.

Hampton Ltd isn’t a single apartment block, but three individual buildings, each with its own address, arrival experience, and sense of identity. Wrapping the corner of Thomas Street and Deakin Street North, the collection is rare in both scale and ambition for a suburb like Hampton.

The Boutique Collection at 28 Thomas Street is the most intimate of the three, with just four residences across three levels. Two apartments on Level 1 offer two bedrooms each with courtyard and garden frontages, while two double-storey three-bedroom homes on Levels 2 and 3 command large wraparound balconies. High ceilings and wide arc forms on the façade give it a quiet grandeur.

The Townhome Collection at 24 Thomas Street is the pinnacle of the collection. Three four-level townhomes, each with its own private street entrance and basement garage. Generous living and dining areas flow to spacious outdoor areas, and the master suite occupies the entire top level with expansive views. These are homes built for people who want the scale and privacy of a house with the low-maintenance lifestyle of this exclusive community, all within one of Melbourne’s most sought-after suburbs.

The Residences Collection at 36 Deakin Street North offers the broadest range. 16 oversized residences across three levels, including two-bedroom and three-bedroom layouts, courtyard apartments with direct street access, and two penthouse residences with private rooftop terraces. A landscaped pedestrian path leads through to a private lobby, framed by star jasmine.

Together, the three buildings offer something genuinely diverse: wrap-around balconies, outdoor terraces, walk-up entrances, and oversized kitchens. These aspects are rarely found in combination, let alone at this sought-after address.

Architecture that earns its place

Interiors are by Studio Brent Lee, who describes his approach as “restraint in palette and generosity in beauty.” Natural materials, oversized ceiling heights, and considered lighting create homes that reveal their quality over time rather than announcing it all at once.

An alluring neighbourhood on the rise

Hampton itself has momentum. The Hampton Pier rebuild was completed in January this year, and a new pocket park is being developed at the former Scout Hall site at 6a Willis Street, with construction expected to commence mid-2026.

The locale is a suburban paradise, sitting 17 km from Melbourne’s vibrant CBD, moments from Port Phillip Bay, and surrounded by some of the Bayside’s best. The Hampton Street shopping village offers a tapestry of boutiques, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, and everyday convenience just a five-minute stroll away. Also a five-minute walk is the Hampton Railway Station, a gateway to Melbourne’s pulse.

Families rejoice, with public and private schools of great repute within easy reach, such as Haileybury College (Brighton Campus), St Leonard’s College, and St Mary’s Primary School.

The bayside walking trail is a beloved local gem, and it’s just a 10-minute walk from the front door.

This location didn’t just land in Spyre’s lap. On the contrary, it was the result of the team’s dedicated work.

“The team tirelessly scoured the region in search of the perfect site for a Spyre project, and at last, this long-term journey is becoming a reality,” explained Daniel Laruccia, managing director at Spyre.

“The location we’ve selected for Hampton Ltd stands as a testament to our unwavering pursuit of excellence and commitment to developing property in only the finest locations.

“Nestled in a serene suburban setting, moments from the picturesque Port Phillip Bay, this project promises to offer exceptional living spaces that seamlessly blend aspirational luxury, lifestyle, and convenience.”  

A native Victorian, Hampton Ltd is also a deeply personal achievement for Daniel, demonstrating the ongoing passion he has for his home state.

“Offering Hampton Ltd is undoubtedly a proud moment for me, for Spyre, and an exciting new chapter for Hampton,” he said.

Hampton Ltd is completing later this year. With two- and three-bedroom residences selling, there is no better time to secure your place here.

Prices start from $1.65 million for a two-bedroom home with two baths, one study, and one car parking space.
