One Coburg Quarter

The recently completed One Coburg Quarter is one of the most striking residential components&nbsp;within the&nbsp;landmark $1 billion masterplan by Rothelowman.

Developed by Future Estate, the building connects Melbourne&rsquo;s northern hub to the future.

Its location at 11 Urquhart Street&nbsp;puts it within eight kilometres of the Melbourne CBD, and within walking distance of Brunswick.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=188151]

The thriving cosmopolitan part of inner Melbourne already boasts a number of eateries, parks and entertainment hubs, cementing itself as a place not only rich with history but also with the potential for great expansion.

Ideally located between bustling Sydney Road and the expanses of Coburg Lake, and incorporating heritage bluestone remnants of the 19th century Pentridge buildings, Coburg Quarter will be much more than a new place to live.

Public transport is easy to find in the area, with links taking only 15-minutes to get you to the CBD. Schools and the University of Melbourne are all within close proximity to the unique space, while also being complemented by a new high street, offering a range of restaurants, caf&eacute;s, bars, retailers and spaces to engage with the wider neighbourhood.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=188150]

Coburg is where famous Australian musician, Tex Perkins, with leading publican Danial Caneva restored The Post Office Hotel a few years ago, with the venue now regularly packing in crowds to see gigs in the old pub and enjoy top nosh in the dining hall.

That&rsquo;s just the beginning though - with the traditional Lebanese flavours of Zaatar to the Latin-American infused cuisine of True North all within a stones throw of One Coburg, there are more than enough local flavours and eateries to not only draw people to the area but to keep every foodie here well and truly satisfied.

The communal spaces within One Coburg Quarter include an indoor lounge and dining areas that open seamlessly to an outdoor rooftop terrace with landscaping, outdoor seating and a barbecue for a more private entertaining option.

How One Coburg Quarter fits into Melbourne's Coburg

One Coburg Quarter,&nbsp;the first building within the&nbsp;new Coburg masterplanned community, has been designed as a cultural focal point for the north of the precinct.

Comprising 125 one and two-bedroom apartments, the development sits within Future Estate&#39;s&nbsp;$1 billion project on Urquhart Street.

Masterplanned by Rothelowman, the design response references the colourful industrial past of Coburg, taking shape around the old Pentridge prison and its signature bluestone.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=144842]

<div>
&ldquo;Inspired by its context, the strong horizontal manifestation of the&nbsp;bluestone and mortar courses is reflected in the articulation and&nbsp;expression of the new fa&ccedil;ades&rdquo;, the architects said.

Remnants of the 19th century Pentridge buildings, the bluestone borders the site on three sides and harmonises the old and the new.

&ldquo;Drawing inspiration from the iconic boroughs of New York City and London, our vision for Coburg Quarter is of a new urban com​munity with soul, creativity and a genuine sense of neighbourly spirit&rdquo;, Future Estate managing director, Ben Anderson, noted.

Though while it has a reverence for the mixed-use precincts that help to define these international cities, Coburg Quarter&rsquo;s identity is truly &ldquo;Northside,&rdquo; a natural extension of Brunswick, Northcote and Fitzroy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=180411]

Passing through the heritage walls, residents will entire a landscaped courtyard into a living lobby, designed to be synonymous with a&nbsp;luxury hotel.

Communal and garden spaces on ground level, and a sky garden on level eight complements the European-style central square aimed to engage with the broader community.

The project will integrate residential and commercial aspects, with future development plans for a new hospital and aged care.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=144844]

Spacious floorplans characterise the One Coburg Quarter homes, capturing incredible views and maximising light through full-height windows and clever design.

Its sculptural form extends from its fa&ccedil;ade into its communal areas, with the rooftop space featuring sculptural forms that contrast the robustness of the older heritage fabric.
</div>

Offering 148 apartments, the multi-unit development boasts enviable amenity, including residents bar, lounge, library and roof garden.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=180409]

Buyers can feel at ease knowing their home is soon to be a part of the comprehensive Coburg Quarter masterplan, connecting Melbourne&rsquo;s northern hub to the future.

Design brief: How the Rothelowman-designed One Coburg Quarter came together 

One Coburg Quarter is the newest development by the Melbourne-based property developer Future Estate.

The contemporary eight level&nbsp;building is being constructed on the&nbsp;historic site was once the Pentridge Prison, with the heritage bluestone walls used by renowned architecture firm Rothelowman as part of the facade.

The residential tower homes just 125 one and two bedroom apartments, priced from $351,000.

The&nbsp;multi-faceted masterplan has been designed with the community in mind.

A European-style central square complemented by a new high street, offering an exciting range of restaurants, cafes, bars, retailers and public spaces will form the civic and cultural focal point.

Urban has taken a look at five reasons why One Coburg Quarter should be on a buyer&#39;s shortlist.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=144842]

1. The Developer

Future Estate has been developing property since 2009 when it was founded by its managing director Ben Anderson.

Currently they have two Bundoora projects, Botanic at Parc Vue, the 407 apartment block, and Parc Vue Bundoora, neighbouring Bundoora Park.&nbsp;

Future Estate prides themselves on a more &#39;full circle&#39; approach to property and its management, rather than the typical development only approach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=28884]

Future Estate then seeks to maintain ownership of specific, strategic assets once developed, and then manages the real estate requirements as each project reaches completion.

Such management services include owners corporation, building manager and concierge services, hotels and serviced apartments and hospitality venues.

2. The Architect

One Coburg Quarter has been designed by the renowned architecture firm Rothelowman.&nbsp;

They call 1851-built Pentridge Prison a stunning Australian treasure due to its bluestone construction which has held for for 170 years.

&quot;Echoing the rhythm and language of the historical prison structures, One Coburg Quarter is inspired by the past, yet designed for tomorrow&quot;, Rothelowman note.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=144846]

It was inspired by the unique character of Coburg and a reverence for historic mixed-use precincts in New York City and London.

&quot;Coburg Quarter will have a village feel in an urban context. It will be a natural extension of Melbourne&rsquo;s celebrated northern suburbs such as Brunswick, Northcote and Fitzroy.&quot;

3.&nbsp; The Location

Coburg has long been admired for its multicultural heritage, and culture of community and family. With Sydney Road at its heart, the suburb has gentrified considerably in recent times, however, still very much retains its heritage and relaxed atmosphere. A short stroll down Sydney Road illustrates a community and village vibe that can&rsquo;t be matched in Melbourne.

Rated a 9/10 for walkability, everything is within close reach in Coburg. From up-to-the-minute cafes, restaurants, bars and nightlife, to quality basic amenity such as supermarkets, One Coburg Quarter has it all within walking distance. But delve deeper and you&rsquo;ll find little gems such as the weekly farmer&rsquo;s market at Coburg Primary School and Mediterranean Wholesalers, a wonderful continental market.

Coburg lies within a transport &lsquo;hot spot&rsquo;, offering residents multiple ways of moving around Melbourne. Just a 30-minute tram ride from the CBD, Coburg is also serviced by trains and buses, making it a cinch to get around. If driving is your thing, Sydney road is a major arterial in the north, connecting Coburg to the CBD and neighbouring northern suburbs. What&rsquo;s more, Coburg is a mere 20-minute drive from Melbourne&rsquo;s Tullamarine Airport.

4. The Apartments

On offer are a selection of one and two-bedroom floorplans, each with state-of-the-art kitchens featuring&nbsp;mirrored splashbacks, integrated appliances and four-burner gas hobs, as well as&nbsp;Matte black tapware and minimalist sinks.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=144840]

The living areas feature pale timber flooring and are filled with plenty of natural light.

The bathrooms also exude style &ndash; with matte black fittings, integrated vanity storage and LED lighting.

5. The Amenities

Residents at One Coburg Quarter will enjoy communal indoor lounge and dining areas that open to an outdoor rooftop terrace with landscaped plans, outdoor seating and a barbecue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=144843]

The terrace will have a panoramic view of the Melbourne skyline.
