Sunkin launch Park House at sustainable masterplan, Highett Common
Alison Warters May 3, 2023

Sunkin, the renowned Melbourne-based property developer, has established a reputation for integrating communities seamlessly into the urban landscape.

They're now launching their much anticipated project Highett Common, which aims to bring refined living and natural elements to the 9.63-hectare former CSIRO site in the heart of the suburb.

Set to deliver the best of Bayside living, Highett Common will benefit from being near to a plethora of amenity, including Highett Train Station, which is just 100 metres away, as well as being under five kilometres from Sandringham Beach, just over a kilometre from Southland Shopping Centre and right next to a Woolworths. 

Each neighbourhood in Highett Common will have its own character and residential landscape, created through streetscapes, green amenity, and distinct built forms by a collaborative team comprising ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects and Tract Landscape Architects.

Pockets of residential neighbourhoods are nestled between the three-hectare Conservation Reserve at Southern Common and the one-hectare park and playground at Northern Common.

Tree lined boulevards provide access for cars while The Mews connects pedestrians and cyclists to their homes and the parks, gardens and community amenity of Highett Common.

The first building to hit the market is Park House, the coveted first residential release, is tucked amongst the greenery that defines the sustainably-minded precinct, designed to reintroduce nature to modern life. 

Park House opens to the local playground and The Mews, settling within pockets of carefully composed spaces that facilitate play, ride, relax, and explore.

Park House features one, two and three-bedroom residences that are versatile and designed to connect with the surrounding environment which features expanses of pillowy lawns, pathways shaded by canopy trees and social places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. 

Priced at $10,000 per sqm, Park House also presents significant value for money when compared to surrounding suburbs such as Sandringham, Hampton and Brighton. 

The $500 million masterplanned development, which will home over 1000 residences when completed, featuring diverse, architecturally designed homes that offer scenic views of the surrounding conservation reserve and parkland.

The site is bordered by expansive parkland and connected by wide, tree-lined corridors and boulevards, creating a rare synergy of natural landscapes and built environments.

A series of carefully curated resident amenities bring resort living to the every day at Highett Common. Conceived as an engaging social landscape for lounging, entertaining, and wellbeing, the development boasts state-of-the-art gymnasiums, residents' swimming pools, and impressive finishes and design that deliver on spaces to host a gathering and elevate entertaining alfresco with friends and family.

Sunkin is also participating in Homes for Homes at Highett Common, an independent, not-for-profit organisation established by Australia's largest and most successful social enterprise, The Big Issue. With research forecasting a deficiency of over 1 million homes in Australia by 2036, time is of the essence to change the narrative.

Homes for Homes encourages registered property owners to donate a small, tax-deductible sum of 0.1 per cent of their property's sale price to create new social and affordable housing in required locations. Donations are pooled with other contributions in your state or territory to make affordable housing more accessible to vulnerable Australians.
