For a cool $5 million, you could experience a lifetime of royal treatment, including private drivers, Vue De Monde sommeliers upon request and even a book collection curated by none other than the Queen’s personal librarian.

Fender Katsalidis Architects are appointed as lead architects for the project which will span three buildings – one of which is to be designed by Koichi Takada Architects.

The ambitious project aims to deliver a $150 million ‘Glass Cube’ entranceway, which has been modelled off Apple’s Fifth Avenue store in NYC, and over 5,000 square meters of hyper-luxury amenity.

The property will feature its very own ‘residents only’ Gold Class Cinema, an in-house art curator, a 3,000-bottle wine cellar and a golf simulator. On-call health and wellness specialists will be available to residents round the clock should they require an in-house facialist, masseuses, personal trainer, nurse, medical practitioner and even a personal stylist. 

Situated in St Kilda, the building is set to commence construction on the former Novotel Hotel site, right on The Esplanade, and just a short stroll to the beach.

Saint Moritz’s penthouse was quickly snapped up by Australian rich-lister Antony Catalano for his family. The property features seven large bedrooms, four living rooms and two pools. The two-storey cascading waterfall and floating fireplace exude modern opulence, and the built-in 1000-bottle wine cellar adds a notch of prestige to the already glamorous residence. The penthouse also contains an in-house sauna, gym, seven car garage and private lift access. However, you could argue that the best feature of the house is the Nero Marquina bathtub which contains 180º water views across St Kilda.

All off-the-plan Saint Moritz apartments will be on sale this June.
