The latest in luxury apartment living has arrived in Melbourne, with buyers seeking high-end amenities and stunning design in new developments. 

With many projects now offering more and more luxurious communal facilities beyond the bare minimum, we took a look at three Melbourne apartments boasting the best bonuses and facilities.

1. R.iconic Melbourne

253-273 Normanby Road, South Melbourne VIC 3205

Looking for 5-star amenities? Here are 3 lavish apartments in Melbourne's CBD under $700,000

Located in the city’s new CBD South precinct, life at R.Iconic will be one of connectivity and vibrance. 

R.Iconic is the city’s only residential building with uninterrupted water views, which are guaranteed to remain thanks to its locality and planning footprint.

Each living environment is stylish and refined, with luxurious features everywhere you look. In the kitchens, modern mirrored splashbacks are paired with chrome fixtures and reconstituted stone benchtops boasting timeless style. 

This $850 million development designed by Plus Architecture boasts twice as many amenities as other properties on the market - with a clear focus on wellbeing, fitness, entertainment, nature and technology. Facilities include an on-site running track, a zen garden, resort-style pool, flotation spa, sports courts and more for residents to discover.

Each home's neutral tonal palette provides a canvas for residents to add their own style to their brand new home, while an abundance of built-in storage makes downsizing a breeze. 

Construction of R.Iconic is underway, with completion estimated for 2022. Developer R.Corporation has a unique, end to end client service model delivering on its promise of a premium property purchase and ownership experience.

With prices starting from $507,000, there are 456 residences on offer across a range of one, two and three bedroom suites.

2. The Docklands Residences

3-43 Waterfront Way, Docklands VIC 3008

Looking for 5-star amenities? Here are 3 lavish apartments in Melbourne's CBD under $700,000

Capital Alliance has challenged the norm of traditional apartment living with their latest development The Docklands Residences, designed by award-winning Bellevue Hill.

With an emphasis on providing lifetime homes for owner-occupiers, the team wanted to ensure buyers could enjoy the same benefits that come with owning a detached dwelling yet live in a fantastic inner-city location. 

Each apartment is equipped with high-end Gaggenau appliances, floor-to-ceiling windows, engineered timber flooring and stylish walk-in showers.

Taking cues from aerodynamic contours of yachts moored at Docklands, the facade of The Docklands Residences features a graceful, translucent screen which wraps around the building creating shelter for the private winter gardens.

The Docklands Residences will sit atop a brand new 8-floor Marriott Hotel, and residents will be able to enjoy the use of 5-star hotel amenities, including a spectacular infinity pool, gym, sauna and spa, as well as Marriott’s hotel services such as room service, concierge and housekeeping.

The development will include 200 hotel rooms and 88 limited oversized residences, with enviable aspects of the water, city and Bolte Bridge.

With construction almost complete and settlement taking place in January 2021, few residences still remain, now selling from $693,000. To learn more or to book an appointment with the sales agent, enquire today via Urban.

Dockland’s newest icon delivers you the flexibility to work from home with the luxury of resort-style amenities.
