Salta Properties' Essence, South Yarra to be launched this weekend

The new project from Salta Properties, Essence, in South Yarra will be launched to the public this weekend.

The site at 35 Wilson Street, South Yarra is located close to the famous Chapel Street retail strip. It will include a public thoroughfare parallel to the private lobby that will connect Wilson Street and Garden Lane.

Designed by Rothelowman, the development will contain a total 92 one and two bedroom apartments across eight floors. Prices start from $379,000, with construction set to begin later this year.

Sam Tarascio, managing director of Salta Properties, said that the company was focussed on providing a sustainable contribution to the area which captured the style of the area.

“As developers, it is important to create urban buildings that can strengthen and enrich people’s lives. Essence is a timeless and unique addition to the neighbourhood,” said Tarascio.

Speaking at a launch gala last night, Tarascio said that design features, such as moving the study into the bedroom and a floating kitchen bench, were designed to maximise space inside the units, while other building utilities will be hidden inside the walls.

Essence will also include a rooftop terrace for communal entertaining and vertical gardens.

The display suite on Chapel Street (pictured in the gallery above) will be open to the public from Saturday.
