AT A GLANCE:

• Developer: Sunkin Property Group
• Builder: SK Construction
• Architect: ClarkeHopkinsClarke 
• Stage 1 estimated completion date: Late 2025
• Entire precinct estimated completion: 2029

Laying adjacent to premier Bayside locales, in the middle-ring suburbs of Melbourne, is master-planned community, Highett Common. This 9.3-hectare site sets the scene for a new chapter in Bayside living, offering luxury apartments and townhomes, complemented by resort-like precinct amenities surrounded by four hectares of parkland.

Privately owned developer Sunkin Property Group has appointed SK Construction to deliver the $600 million masterplanned development, commencing a unique builder-developer relationship between the two companies, where SK Construction will exclusively deliver Sunkin’s existing and future project pipeline.

This announcement coincides with the beginning of Highett Common’s $70 million Stage 1 construction, which will deliver 167 new apartments completed by late 2025. The community will be delivered in multiple stages over the next five years, which will see over 1,000 new apartments and townhouses across the 9.3 hectare masterplan by 2029.

Now selling are Highett Common’s expansive three and four-bedroom townhomes, featuring open-plan designs across two to three-level floorplans that allow for greater flexibility to meet the needs of downsizers and families.

Thoughtfully designed by ClarkeHopkinsClarke, the residences’ multi-use spaces extend to outdoor zones to reinforce residents’ connection with nature and optimise natural light and fresh air flow. While luxury finishes such as timber flooring, polished stone features with marble finishes, custom woodgrain veneers, pure wool, and refined metals bring elements of nature inside.

The townhomes will feature a collection of premier European Smeg appliances for utmost functionality. Independent street entry and internal access from the lockable garage increase a sense of privacy, fostering a convenient lock-and-leave lifestyle.

The townhomes are linked to the greater precinct through landscaped pedestrian mews designed alongside Tract Consultants. Here, residents have access to a 3-hectare-plus conservation zone with open grassland and walking trails, beautifully landscaped with native flora and fauna.

Moreover, the precinct’s resort-style resident amenities elevate one’s every day, comprising a fully equipped gymnasium and wellness spaces, indoor and outdoor pool, cinema, playgrounds, private dining room, and a community library.

Highett Common’s premier address also places residents moments from a wealth of local amenities. The Highett Road shopping precinct, Highett train station, and top restaurants such as George Calombaris’ The Hellenic House Project are within walking distance. At the same time, daily necessities such as schools, shopping, hospitals, and supermarkets such as Aldi, Woolworths, and Coles are all nearby.

As the first medium-density, Net Zero Carbon community in Victoria and the largest development outside Melbourne’s CBD to pivot to all-electric, Highett Common has been sustainably designed with a series of green initiatives.

Designed to reduce emissions, encourage physical activity, and lower the need for vehicle travel, the precinct boasts OC solar panels, smart car charger capacity, recycled rainwater for landscaping, sustainably sourced timber and steel, a walkable precinct design, climate and noise protection, and more.

Highett Commons’ green commitment is of utmost importance, aimed to give residents better choices and a better future.

Construction is now underway at Highett Common, with Stage 1 completion slated for mid to late 2025.

Three and four-bedroom townhomes are now selling from $1,614,000. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this close-knit community designed for the future.
