Longhouse - 17 Lynch Street, Hawthorn

Malvern East is well known as one of Melbourne's establishment suburbs.

It's <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/vic/how-malvern-and-malvern-east-has-preserved-its-historical-character">retained a lot of its village charm</a>, with little to no development, and heritage houses lining the quaint and quiet streets.

It was this reason <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen Victoria</a> saw <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/malvern-east-vic">Malvern East</a> budding with opportunity for a luxury downsizer apartment development, which didn't encroach on the heritage buildings, but instead brought some modern flair to them.

Offering a limited selection of just seven luxury apartments, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/content/abadeen-officially-announce-expansion-into-victoria-with-two-luxury-projects">Abadeen Victoria's debut Melbourne apartment development</a> positions itself as an exclusive new address tailored for individuals who value top-tier architecture, inviting interiors, and spacious floor plans in a highly desirable location near the vibrant Malvern East village.

Positioned just off Burke Road, Maléa's lower elevation grants a more intimate formal entrance. Boasting a double-height arrival hall, Maléa stands as a striking embodiment of contemporary architecture skillfully designed by the renowned architects at Ewert Leaf.

“The stoic, enduring form unites with a rich palette, combining textural brickwork, layered concrete planes, and sleek metalwork," Ewert Leaf Managing Director Will Leaf said.

"A suite of crafted details and subtle design cues unique to the project anchors the built form within the established architectural fabric."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222393]

Full-height glazing throughout the development frames entrances to private gardens and terraces, while thoughtfully landscaped greenery softens the building's articulation and establishes a visual link to the iconic Central Park.

The interior design, also crafted by the team at Ewert Leaf, revolves around the concept of luxury urban living, brought to life by meticulously crafted floor plans that maximise connections between the interior and exterior spaces.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222407]

Abadeen Victoria Managing Director Andrew Leoncelli said they were&nbsp;thrilled about the connection between the inside and the exterior.

"We've worked really closely with John Patrick to get a great result here," Leoncelli said.

"The courtyards themselves have plenty of space for entertaining and also the opportunity to sit and relax with greenery that is well vegetated and really carefully designed."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222404]

Inside, expansive kitchen, living and dining spaces feature a neutral palette enriched with figured natural stone and tonal timber flooring and joinery. Metalwork detailing strikes a tailored line to contemporary joinery forms.&nbsp;

Sustainability and environmental responsibility were also critical considerations in the design phase of Maléa, which aims to achieve a minimum 6.5-Star Green Energy Rating. This forward-thinking approach ensures Maléa is designed to meet future needs while promoting a greener lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222392]

The apartments at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/malea-94-burke-road-malvern-east">Maléa</a> will feature double glazing, concrete walls and floors, limited gas usage, rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and future electric vehicle battery storage provisions.

Located at 94 Burke Road, residents are just a short stroll away from the vibrant Malvern East village, within one kilometre from several public and exclusive private schools, and less than 30 minutes from Bayside beaches.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/malea-94-burke-road-malvern-east">Maléa</a> is scheduled for completion in mid-2025.

Maléa: A fresh contemporary approach to the historic Malvern East

True parkside apartment projects don't come around too often. And when they do, they tend to be high density, given the cost of the land is considerably premium.

Not&nbsp;Maléa, the newest apartment development in Malvern East by the newly formed Abadeen Victoria.

Abadeen Victoria, the Victoria office of the longtime Sydney luxury apartment developer Abadeen which is being run by Melbourne local development identity Andrew Leoncelli, has launched just seven parkside apartments on Central Park.

“Abadeen Victoria chose Maléa because of its incredible location opposite Central Park in the beating heart of Malvern East," Leoncelli says.

"We are committed to delivering a project of exceptional quality in this dynamic and thriving community across from one of the great heritage parks moments from all the very best that Melbourne has to offer."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222404]

Located at 94 Burke Road, residents will be just a short walk away from the vibrant Malvern East village, where they will find everything they need, from corner stores and newsagents to exceptional cafes and some of the state's finest Italian restaurants—Grazia Restaurant and Via Fratelli.

For a broader shopping experience, residents can quickly drive to the bustling Glenferrie Road shopping strip or explore the stylish retail offerings on High Street Armadale. Chadstone is also easily accessible via Dandenong Road.

Offering a sanctuary from the bustling city, the park provides a serene environment at Maléa's doorstep.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222388]

Residents can kick start their day with coffee from Cannoli and Co., preparing them for a morning stroll along Central Park's walking track or a stroll through the tree-lined streets of Malvern East.

&nbsp;

There's also the Hedgeley Dene Gardens, one of the most popular parks in Malvern East which showcases an informal,&nbsp;picturesque English garden.

As lunchtime approaches, the vibrant local gem, Grazia, awaits residents for an authentic Italian dining experience.

In the evening, residents can conveniently walk to Riserva Wine, just six minutes away, for post-dinner drinks, providing the perfect nightcap.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222392]

"It's an amazing community hub at your doorstep, and being opposite Central Park Road, one of the best in all of the Gascoigne Estate presents one of the last opportunities to secure a park-fronted luxury residence. We are very excited to bring this to the market," Leoncelli said.

Young families will also appreciate Maléa's proximity to public and exclusive private schools. Notable schools within one kilometre include St Mary's School, Lloyd Street Primary School, Sacre Coeur, Oakwood School, and Monash University.

Designed by Ewert Leaf, Maléa comprises only seven park-fronted three-bedroom apartments and a penthouse, with prices starting at $2.6 million. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2025.

A day in the life of a resident at Maléa, Malvern East's newest luxury apartment development

The leafy suburb of Malvern was initially part of the Parish of Prahran until 1856 before it was established as its own suburb.

Named after Malvern Hill in England, Malvern's development was&nbsp;primarily driven by the arrival of the railway in the late 1850s. This transportation link connected Malvern to Melbourne, leading to increased settlement and growth.

One of the significant developments in Malvern's history was the land boom of the 1880s. During this period, grand Victorian and Edwardian-style homes were built, many of which still stand today, showcasing the suburb's architectural heritage. Malvern's tree-lined streets and spacious properties attracted affluent residents.

The neighbouring Malvern East began to evolve as a separate entity in the early 20th century, however it too experienced a housing boom during the interwar period. That saw Californian bungalows and Art Deco homes developed.

The establishment of prestigious schools and institutions in the vicinity such as Caulfield Grammar School and Monash University continued to drive the family demographic. The most recent ABS Census data shows around 60 per cent of residents in Malvern and Malvern East have children.

Both <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/malvern-vic">Malvern</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/malvern-east-vic">Malvern East</a> have managed to preserve their historical character. There's not been an overwhelming amount of new developments in either suburb of the past decade or so.

There are currently three high quality developments currently on the market in Malvern and Malvern East, and we've put together a bio on each.

<h2>Maléa</h2>

<h3>Developer: Abadeen Victoria</h3>

<h3>Address:&nbsp;94 Burke Road, Malvern East VIC 3145</h3>

<h3>Price: From&nbsp;$2.6&nbsp;million</h3>

Luxury Sydney developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has branched out into the high-end Melbourne apartment market, revealing their parkside apartment development <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/malea-94-burke-road-malvern-east">Maléa</a>, which will replace one of the last remaining homes to be redeveloped overlooking Central Park in Malvern East

Maléa, just seven apartments facing the 19-acre Central Park, is the result of a collaboration with Ewert Leaf as the architectural team behind its stoic, enduring form, featuring textural brickwork, layered concrete planes, and sleek metalwork, and John Patrick and Associates who took control of the extensive landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222407]

These luxury apartments, available in two and three-bedroom configurations, feature a beautiful Calacatta Viola in the kitchen, dining area and bathroom, teamed with richer-toned porcelain slabs.

Maléa has been thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind, aiming to achieve a minimum 6.5-star green energy rating. This commitment to environmental responsibility is evident through features like double glazing, concrete walls and floors, limited gas usage for hot water services, rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and provisions for future electric vehicle battery storage in the basement.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222390]

He says to have secured a site directly opposite Central Park, one of the very final sites in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/malvern-east-vic" target="">Malvern East</a>, is a phenomenal opportunity.&nbsp;
