Live parkside in Malvern East: Abadeen Victoria reveal luxury Maléa apartments on Central Park
Central Park is one of the most picturesque spots in Malvern East.
The 19-acre park, which has been the heart of the affluent suburb since 1908, is bordered by just three streets, which makes Maléa, the new collection of just seven apartments facing the gardens, an incredibly rare opportunity.
Maléa is the first development by the newly minted Abadeen Victoria, which is being led by developer and former CBRE executive Andrew Leoncelli. Abadeen Property Group is an established developer of luxury apartments in Sydney's North Shore.
Maléa has been designed by Ewert Leaf to maximise the garden atmosphere in Malvern East.
Ewert Leaf Managing Partner Will Leaf says Maléa manifests a new direction of contemporary boutique living in coveted Malvern East.
"The stoic, enduring form unites with a textural palette, combining textural brickwork, layered concrete planes, and sleek metalwork," Leaf says.
Sustainability and responsibility to the environment were key considerations in the design phase of Maléa, which is aiming to achieve a minimum 6.5-Star Green Energy Rating. The apartments feature double glazing, concrete walls and floors, limited gas usage, rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and provision for future electric vehicle battery storage in the basement.
There are three garden terraces in the building expertly designed by John Patrick and Associates to create an indoor outdoor living environment. The front garden beds are planted with Pine Oak trees, while rows of fragrant magnolias grace the boundaries.
The project is ideally located just a stroll from the vibrant Malvern East Village.
Jellis Craig Projects Director Stephen Bowtell says the project epitomises everything people love about Malvern East.
"Malvern East is all about nature, and Maléa reflects that," Bowtell says.
"It's such a rare proposition in this pocket for there to be a new development, particularly one of this calibre."
Bowtell expects a lot of interest to come from locals, many of whom either live near the park or visit it frequently. He's launching the project next weekend, November 18 and 19, at the Jellis Craig Armadale office at 1215 High St, Armadale where he will give private appointments a full insight of the project.
Leoncelli says Maléa is the culmination of many years of experience working in this community. He says to have secured a site directly opposite Central Park, one of the very final sites in Malvern East, is a phenomenal opportunity.
"It's an amazing community hub at your doorstep and where we are opposite Central Park Road, which is one of the best in all of the Gascoigne Estate, is one of the last opportunities to secure a park fronted luxury residence, and we are very excited to be bringing this to the market."
Leoncelli is no stranger to Burke Road. He's developed on the street before, further north in Camberwell. That project, Victoria & Burke, secured record-setting penthouse sales at $5.5 million each.
