Melbourne homes near Botanic Gardens attract buyers,
Melbourne is globally recognized for its dynamic arts, culture, and culinary scenes. The arts and gardens precinct serves as an ideal base for exploring them.
For enthusiasts, living here offers unrivaled access to world-class galleries, theatres, and restaurants, all surrounded by stunning gardens.
Aria Melbourne, developed by Evolve Development, will be located at 135 Sturt Street. It will feature 183 luxurious apartments across 18 levels.
One, two, and three-bedroom residences will be available, starting from $735,000. Impressively, 50% of the apartments have already sold through an exclusive pre-release.
According to Ashley Williams, founder and managing director of Evolve Development, “The strong sales indicate high demand for contemporary residences with top-tier amenities in Melbourne.”
“Most of our buyers are locals who recognize the value of such a prestigious building in this prime location,” Williams added.
“Melbourne’s population, particularly in the immediate CBD area, will continue to grow. Consequently, Melbourne needs more ‘right-sizing’ and diverse housing options to cater to various lifestyles.”
“Aria Melbourne is designed to meet the needs of those upgrading from existing apartments, simplifying their lifestyle, or professionals seeking a luxurious, functional home in proximity to everything they desire.”
Modern design
The design was inspired by the surrounding arts precinct and the Royal Botanic Gardens, creating a seamless connection.
“We wanted every element and experience in the building to link you to the precinct,” explained Mr. Williams.
“From the way the apartments maximize views of Melbourne’s iconic landmarks and gardens, to the bold, sculptural interiors,” he added.
“Above all, we aimed to create a boutique building that embodies a unique lifestyle, making owner-occupiers feel truly at home.”
The Masters Collection Apartments set a new benchmark for city living. They feature high-end amenities for even the most discerning residents.
Each apartment is equipped with natural stone finishes, integrated fridges, and premium 90cm appliances, alongside impressive feature entry joinery.
Expansive frontages and panoramic views stretch from the bay to the city and gardens, providing a stunning urban backdrop.
Certain layouts within the collection offer added features such as butler’s pantries, dedicated laundry rooms, and tranquil retreats.
Additionally, some apartments include bars and double vanity ensuites, catering to a variety of lifestyle needs and preferences.
Luxury amenities
The project offers a wide range of high-end amenities, adding a touch of five-star luxury to daily living.
These include a concierge service, a north-facing heated infinity pool with city skyline views, and a fully equipped gym.
Additionally, there is an outdoor entertainment terrace with a BBQ area, a dedicated art exhibition space, and an on-site café.
“The art gallery exhibition area hosts a full-time gallery featuring local talent. It serves as a reminder to residents.”
“They are in the cultural heart of Melbourne, especially when heading out from the east side of the building,” explained Mr. Williams.
With such an extensive list of amenities, residents enjoy a heightened lifestyle that Mr. Williams believes is now expected in modern apartments.
“We are witnessing a shift in buyer expectations, with increasing demand for amenities that have become a new standard in apartment living.”
“Providing shared amenities not only nurtures a stronger sense of community, but it also enhances the lifestyle for Aria Melbourne residents.”
Unbeatable location
One of the key attractions of Aria Melbourne is its easy access to the CBD and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Both are within walking distance, making it convenient for residents to enjoy these iconic Melbourne landmarks.
Additionally, a walk along the Yarra River is a popular activity for those living in Southbank.
Aria Melbourne residents will also be situated near the city’s world-renowned arts and cultural scene.
The National Gallery of Victoria and Hamer Hall are right at the building’s doorstep, offering convenient access to culture.
Meanwhile, ACMI is just across Princes Bridge, providing residents with even more cultural experiences to explore.
These venues regularly host rotating events and exhibitions, further enhancing the area’s cultural vibrancy.
The precinct is currently undergoing redevelopment, with government investment focused on creating more communal and green spaces.
Certain developments, such as Aria Melbourne, have been approved to enhance the suburb and its offerings.
“The ongoing investment in arts institutions, public outdoor spaces, and private sector redevelopment of commercial buildings means transformation,” explained Mr. Williams.
“This will ultimately turn the area into one of the most sought-after pockets in all of Melbourne.”
