Trenerry Abbotsford development brings residential to the riverfront
The Trenerry project at Abbotsford offers a rare opportunity of riverfront living in Melbourne close to Dights Falls.
Set on the banks of the Yarra River – once dominated by breweries, tanneries and woollen mills – Trenerry Abbotsford will have 109 apartments upon its mid-2013 completion.
With sales set to start next month, its one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments are priced from $465,000, with the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments from $530,000. Both configurations come with one car park.
It has been designed by Carabott Holt Architects, combining new design with the character of the site’s former industrial past.
The building will be fronted by its heritage façade.
“It also features a chimney stack, giving Trenerry a look and feel that is unmistakably Abbotsford,” says Rob DiCintio, director of Trenerry Property Group.
“The desire for waterfront living in city-fringe areas is an evolving trend in the Melbourne market, and Trenerry offers both,” DiCintio says.
The Abbotsford apartments will be built over seven levels.
There will be eight one-bedroom apartments, 97 two-bedroom units, and four three-bedroom units.
Some 92 of the two-bedroom apartments will have two-bathrooms, along with all the three-bedroom apartments.
The average apartment size will be 75 square metres internally, plus all apartments come with balconies, offering riverfront, CBD or Studley Park views. The development comes with easy access to the Capital City Trail.
There are 115 car spaces, one for each apartment, and two each for three-bedroom apartments. Same-floor parking is available for 60 of the apartments.
Storage spaces have been allocated to all apartments.
DiCintio says buyers will have the choice of two colour schemes – one dark and one light.
Buyers can select colour scheme in the contract of sale once the display suite opens next month.
“Trenerry is committed to achieving a five-star first energy-efficiency rating, and we have included initiatives such as large rainwater tanks natural lighting in car parks,” DiCintio says.
The Trenerry Crescent development site, wedged between Collingwood Football Club's Victoria Park stadium and the Yarra River, was bought last year from Australand for a reported $6.6 million.
The developers, Trenerry Property along with the Victor Smorgon Group and the Kanat family, are highly experienced developers, having been involved in various residential and large-scale retail and mixed-use developments over the past 20 years.
The Trenerry apartments are listed through Oliver Hume.
