In the heart of Kensington, just a stone’s throw from Melbourne’s vibrant CBD, an exciting new development is drawing attention. 15 Thompson Street isn’t just another address; it’s the future of sustainable, community-focused living in one of Melbourne’s most connected and thriving neighbourhoods.

Assemble, the developer behind this visionary project, is setting new standards for modern living in collaboration with architect Hayball and builder Hacer Group. With an approach that centres on resident satisfaction, the team’s innovative approach allows buyers to secure their future homes without any sort of pressure.

Homeownership made easier

Scheduled for completion in June 2024, 15 Thompson Street unveils 198 impeccably designed residences. This development is distinguished not only by its aesthetic and contemporary appeal but also by its inclusive vision, which aims to make homeownership attainable for a broader segment of Australians.

Assemble’s flexible purchase pathway allows future residents the unique opportunity to move in and familiarise themselves with their homes, enabling them to decide to buy when they’re ready.

Here, rest assured that rent prices will not get away from you while you save. Rent is set for up to five years with fixed annual increases set at three per cent. If you opt to buy, you can purchase at any stage during the five-year rental period with a fixed price agreed upfront. This price will increase by three per cent per year from the project’s completion, providing you with the time, space, flexibility, and certainty you need to make your purchasing decision.

Sustainable, well-designed homes

Sustainability forms the core of 15 Thompson Street, manifested through its complete reliance on renewable energy, solar panels lighting common spaces, and a resolute all-electric design. The development achieves a 7-star NatHERS rating, illustrating its commitment to environmental responsibility alongside resident comfort.

The residences themselves are meticulously designed, ranging from studio to three-bedroom floorplans. Many feature a distinctive warehouse feel with exposed concrete ceilings to most apartments and spacious balconies that offer sweeping views of Kensington and Melbourne city. High-quality finishes are standard, with Fisher and Paykel appliances seamlessly integrated into each living space, embodying both style and practicality.

Community centred living

Beyond the individual residences, 15 Thompson Street is committed to fostering a vibrant, interactive community. Facilities include a dedicated workshop for DIY projects and messy jobs, whether it’s fixing bikes or building planter boxes, a bookable event space, and even a bookable two-bedroom guest house for when guests come to stay.

Enjoy a landscaped internal pocket park designed by landscape architects and urban designers Oculus. While crowning the development, the expansive rooftop space is equipped with a kitchen, pizza oven, futsal court, a pet park, and vegetable gardens, all set against the backdrop of the Melbourne skyline.

The location of 15 Thompson Street further underscores its appeal. It is situated just three kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD and in close proximity to Kensington Village, Kensington Station, and the Younghusband office precinct. The introduction of Arden Station and the redevelopment of the Kensington Community Aquatic and Recreation Centre are set to enhance the area’s connectivity and community amenities even further.

With more than 70% of the dwellings already allocated, 15 Thompson Street is a testament to the demand for innovative, community-centric living in Melbourne.

A selection of larger-than-usual studios and two- and three-bedroom apartments are still available, with prices starting from $450,000.
