Malvern Collective delivers a neighbourhood of connections

If asked to picture a typical Malvern scene, you’ll likely picture tree-lined streets, vibrant local shopping and plenty of green parks and amenities. This is precisely why developer Kokoda Property’s significant regeneration project, Malvern Collective, is in the perfect location.

The project is a substantial one with 4,714 sqm earmarked for a combination of residential, dining, retail and commercial offerings. In fact, 10 brand new retail spaces will add to the already amenity-rich neighbourhood.

“Kokoda is committed to creating lifestyle-driven projects that support and strengthen local communities and respond to the unique aesthetic of their area, and Malvern Collective is no exception”, said Mark Stevens, Managing Director of Kokoda Property.

“For us, the project is a true execution of large-scale site renewal and one we feel really showcases a balance between open space, functional design and quality.”

One example of this is Malvern Collective’s nod to Melbourne’s buzzing laneway culture, with the project set to feature several amenity-rich laneways as part of the multi-access masterplan for Station Place.

Designed to ensure easy transit for users of the adjacent Malvern Station there are plans for an artisan bakery, organic food store, health and wellness centre, boutique cinema, and plenty more. This impressive level of local convenience is one of many ways in which the project will reinvigorate the neighbourhood and enhance the everyday lives of residents.

“We have been working closely with Transport for Victoria to ensure Station Place becomes more functional for the 3,000 commuters who frequent the area each day”, said Mark, highlighting Kokoda’s plan to create a Transit Oriented Development.

This transport connection will be a key drawcard for buyers given the train station is literally next door. The 8km city commute will be both an effortless and a pleasant one – in collaboration with Tract Landscape Architects, the area nestled between the station and the apartments will be transformed into a green park sanctuary and boardwalk.

Ensuring this outstanding project delivers a thoughtful response to its much-loved surrounds, Kokoda Property engaged heritage consultants Lovell Chen to help create an architectural solution that respects Malvern’s unique history and character.

Further integrating Malvern’s heritage past with its thriving future, local landmark The Angel Tavern will undergo a complete renovation, breathing new life into this iconic venue.

“The Angel Tavern is an institution in Malvern and holds a special place in many locals’ hearts, so we are going to bring it back to its former glory and create a vibrant venue for the entire community to enjoy”, said Mark.

Malvern is notoriously a tightly held area, and understandably so. Its vibrant community atmosphere, abundance of green spaces, and wealth of amenity, combined with that easy city commute, make it appealing to city workers. Meanwhile, families no doubt love the choice of local schools which includes St Joseph’s, Malvern Primary School, Malvern Central School and De La Salle College. Plenty of kindergartens and early learning options are also nearby.

With its achievable price point, all of this makes Malvern Collective a particularly rare opportunity to live in luxury in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after suburbs.

The residential component comprises two buildings of premium apartments, each specified to the highest standard of luxury finishes. Highlights include oak timber flooring, reconstituted stone benchtops (upgradeable to marble), brushed satin tapware, and 2.7m high ceilings for truly spacious interiors.

The building’s five-star hotel-quality communal facilities include a private theatre, spa, sauna, lap pool, private dining room, outdoor terrace and bbq area.

Pricing at Malvern Collective is positioned to welcome buyers of all types, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $415,000, two-bedrooms from $615,000, three-bedrooms from $1,065,000 and the expansive 4-bedroom residences beginning at $2,950,000.
