	<li>Spacious and sophisticated residences in the heart of Melbourne&#39;s greatest CBD gateway.</li>
</ul>

Raise the curtain on St Kilda Road&rsquo;s new attraction, the ritzy apartments at Opera Melbourne. A joint venture between Golden Age Group and Deague Group, Opera was designed by the architects Bates Smart.

With 228 residences across 19 levels, it revives the splendour of St Kilda Road&rsquo;s past, when it was the hotspot for mansions owned by Melbourne&rsquo;s most affluent inhabitants. A curved teardrop reaching for the skies, Opera features a stunning smoked glass facade with what appear to be crevices from a distance and act as balconies separating each floor.

There are plans for a fine-dining restaurant on the ground floor with a wine cellar nearby, so you can have your very own bottle fetched by a sommelier from your collection when dining out. Better still, host a dinner party in the residents&rsquo; private dining rooms and enjoy fine dining catered by the restaurant. If &lsquo;me time&rsquo; beckons, take advantage of the health retreat on level one, which features a luxurious pool, spa, gym, and sauna.

Upon stepping into the art-deco-inspired lobby you&rsquo;ll be greeted by a concierge who handles everything from receiving deliveries to booking theatre tickets. You will luxuriate in the knowledge that you can access the services of a yoga instructor or art curator whenever your heart desires!

In harmony with Opera&rsquo;s facade are the residences, which meld classic luxury with contemporary design. Spacious and light-filled open-planned interiors flow out to terraces and come in a choice of three refined colour schemes. Interior palettes embrace the concepts of warmth, personality, and high-quality. Kitchens feature Herringbone floorboards, marble benchtops, top-grade timber joinery, and rose gold tapware.

Located in the heart of West Melbourne, Melbourne Village is a shining beacon of modern living in the Spencer Street Village, rising gracefully with two impressive buildings, one soaring 28 stories high and the other standing tall at 22 floors. This development is a pivotal component of an ambitious urban renewal plan in Melbourne, making it an essential addition to the city's skyline.

With more than 529 residences to choose from, Melbourne Village caters to various lifestyles. Additionally, the Village Melbourne development features 30 spacious townhomes and ground-floor retail spaces, revitalising the once industrial streetscape of the Spencer Street Village.

Meticulous attention to detail is evident in the apartment interiors, where materiality, functionality, and craftsmanship come together seamlessly. These grand living spaces offer spacious floor plans, providing residents with a serene retreat from the bustling city streets of Melbourne.

Every aspect of these residences is designed to strike a perfect balance between practicality and luxury. From intelligent storage solutions to premium fixtures and finishes, Melbourne Village ensures a high-quality living experience. The kitchens, in particular, are designed to inspire culinary creativity, boasting bright and open gourmet cooking spaces that seamlessly connect with dining and living areas, all while offering panoramic views. Unique to the Village, the integrated Bosch appliances and ample storage spaces make entertaining and casual dining a breeze.

One of the hallmarks of Melbourne Village is its commitment to individuality on every floor. Rather than relying on a repetitive design, the building facade is a testament to a floor-by-floor approach, ensuring each level stands out.

Designed by the renowned architects at BHA, the Village Melbourne tower's aesthetic is characterised by strong horizontal banding, exposed slab edges, and smaller scale facade elements within these bands. This dynamic facade creates a visually captivating tower that appears different from various angles, while also offering unobstructed and enviable views, not to mention ample natural sunlight.

The architectural solution at Melbourne Village incorporates a modern and responsive podium base that supports the elegant tower forms, maximising both views and natural light.

The Tigers were outplayed by an inform Melbourne Demons under the lights&nbsp;at the MCG on Saturday night.

At Urban we thought we&#39;d take a look at the property stakes between the two suburbs.

The MCG conveniently sits between the two, with Richmond coming from the east and residents in the Melbourne CBD heading west, both less than four kilometres from the iconic venue.

Richmond&rsquo;s apartment price has jumped nearly two per cent, in Q1 2021, according to Jellis Craig. The median unit price now stands at $610,000.

As many markets, Melbourne CBD has seen lower volumes of interest from investor in 2021 than past years given the closed borders, now focusing offers and incentives on owner occupiers.

Still, apartments there are down around 1.4 per cent over the same period.

We&#39;ve rounded up the best apartments for sale in Richmond and Melbourne.

<h2>Richmond</h2>

One of Richmond&#39;s most sought-after developments&nbsp;is Two51 Swan, set on Richmond&#39;s prized Swan Street.

Designed by&nbsp;Watson Young&nbsp;Architects, the project includes ground floor retail space and a grand lobby, rich with gold detailing and art deco opulence.
