Rising above the treetops of the Box Hill Gardens, Tempo by property developer MAB is a new expression of contemporary suburban living: where thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and community connection move in perfect rhythm.

From its elevated site at 2 Bruce Street, Tempo sits at the highest point of the coveted Box Hill Gardens precinct, offering panoramic views across the gardens, sweeping outlooks towards the CBD, and vistas to the Dandenong Ranges – a rare vantage point that captures Melbourne’s diversity of landscape and lifestyle.

"Shaping Melbourne’s skyline for three decades has been a great responsibility for MAB,” said MAB co-founder Michael Buxton (AM).

“Tempo continues this passion, designed to be a dynamic and forward-thinking project that is perfectly attuned to Box Hill.” 

With construction fully complete, you can move in now.

Architecture in tune with everyday life

Designed by award-winning architecture practice Hayball, Tempo embodies the studio’s hallmark integration of architecture, interiors, and urban design. As one of the first major developments in Box Hill to be assessed under the Better Apartments Design Standards, this means every residence in the development meets, and exceeds, expectations for natural light, privacy, and ventilation.

Comprising 159 residences across 19 levels, Tempo offers a diverse mix of apartments, sky homes, MAB’s signature loft homes, and a penthouse, catering to a diverse range of lifestyles and preferences.

Inside, generous ceiling heights and floor-to-ceiling glazing flood interiors with sunlight while framing parkland and city views.

Innovative loft homes

Reflecting MAB’s reputation for innovation, Tempo introduces split-level loft residences – a concept pioneered by MAB that elevates apartment living. Featuring double-height living zones and mezzanine levels, these homes offer flexibility for growing families, home offices, or independent co-living.

Available in one- and two-bedroom configurations, the lofts provide adaptable space that evolves with residents’ lifestyles. This is an intelligent response to modern urban living that balances privacy, functionality, and design.

Interiors that express character and comfort

Hayball’s interior design team has curated two distinct schemes that bring individuality and warmth to each home.
The Minimalist palette evokes calm and cohesion through whites, creams, and greys, paired with light oak and a hint of black detailing. Elegant Terrazzo splashbacks and benchtops feature across the kitchens and bathrooms, complemented by a custom dining table that adds a sense of sophistication.

The Traditionalist palette offers timeless appeal with natural timbers, classic panelled doors, and nickel accents that harmoniously bridge traditional style and modern sensibility.

Every residence includes premium touches such as extensive marble surfaces, integrated fridge/freezer, and air-conditioning in master bedrooms. 

For your utmost convenience and privacy, each home comes with at least one secure car space, while dedicated storage cages in select residences add functionality to everyday living.

A lifestyle composed for wellbeing

At Tempo, residents are surrounded by amenities that inspire balance and connection. The north-facing Balcony Garden on Level 1 offers space to unwind among lush greenery, adjoining a music room, gym, and library complete with free Wi-Fi and a Resident Management app for seamless communication and bookings.

On Level 11, the Spa Deck provides a glamorous retreat overlooking Box Hill Gardens, complete with barbecue facilities, al fresco dining areas, and open-air lounge spaces for entertaining.

Security and convenience are built in, with video intercom access, a state-of-the-art digital locking system, and secure entry to the carpark, lobby, and bike storage areas.

An unbeatable location in Melbourne’s east

Perfectly placed between calm and connection, Tempo offers residents the best of Box Hill – a thriving neighbourhood defined by culture, cuisine, and convenience.

Just 140 metres from Box Hill Gardens, daily life unfolds beside open green spaces, a central lake, and peaceful walking tracks. Beyond the gardens, residents are moments from Box Hill Central’s shopping and dining precinct with its vibrant hub of Asian eateries, fresh produce, and everyday essentials.

Rated a “Walker’s Paradise” (95/100) by Walk Score, the address puts everything within easy reach, from transport to education and healthcare. The nearby Box Hill train station and tram interchange connect you seamlessly to the broader east and into the city.

A wide range of education options are nearby, including Box Hill High School, Box Hill Institute, and Deakin University Burwood Campus.
