Two Different Projects both Transforming Melbourne Off The Plan Living
Apartments & Developments
19 July, 2024
Melbourne’s real estate landscape is continuously evolving with new developments catering to the diverse needs and lifestyles of its residents. Off-the-plan (OTP) townhouse and apartment projects contribute to this evolution, providing exceptional living spaces that redefine what it means to live well in the Victorian capital.
In this feature, we spotlight two OTP developments: Blackburn Quarter in the eastern suburbs and Hampton Ltd in the Bayside. Though different in location and style, both projects are transforming Melbourne OTP living by providing remarkable homes and contributing to the vibrancy of their respective neighbourhoods.
Hampton Ltd: Boutique luxury by the Bayside
Location and vision:
Situated in the coveted Bayside suburb of Hampton, Hampton Ltd is Spyre’s inaugural venture in Victoria. This project aims to redefine luxury living by blending aspirational lifestyle elements with unparalleled convenience in one of Melbourne’s finest locations. Nestled moments from the picturesque Port Phillip Bay, Hampton Ltd offers a serene suburban setting with exceptional living spaces across 20 apartments and three townhomes.
“With an ambition to expand and bring our unique touch of luxury further afield, Hampton Ltd marks our first Spyre venture in Victoria,” said Daniel Laruccia, Managing Director of Spyre.
“Not only important for Spyre, but also a deeply personal achievement for me as a native Victorian.”
Local amenities and lifestyle
Hampton Ltd benefits from its proximity to various amenities on Hampton Street, just a five-minute walk away. This vibrant shopping village includes boutiques, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, and other everyday conveniences. The nearby Hampton Railway Station and convenient bus routes enhance connectivity, making it easy for residents to access Melbourne’s city centre and other key areas. Additionally, Church Street Brighton, a shopping, dining, and entertainment hub, is within convenient reach.
The Bayside location offers a lifestyle that celebrates wellness and the great outdoors. Residents can enjoy leisurely walks to Hampton Beach, Alexander Park Playground, Peace Park, or Trevor Barker Oval.
“A desirable location for families, there are public and private schools of great repute, for the youngest tot to the high schooler,” added Daniel.
“Haileybury College (Brighton Campus), St Leonard’s College, St Mary’s Primary School, and Hampton Primary School are all within easy reach.”
Design and boutique appeal
Architecturally designed by MLD Studio, with interiors by renowned Studio Brent Lee, Hampton Ltd’s interiors are personal sanctuaries inspired by its coastal setting. The refined and generous living spaces feature muted tones, sophisticated palettes, oversized ceiling heights, and superb craftsmanship. Outdoor spaces are a highlight, with terraces and private gardens offering quiet, sunlit sanctuaries.
Spyre has adopted a philosophy of reduction and deconstruction for this project, moving away from the common idea of maximising density. The boutique development comprises a series of standalone buildings interspersed with landscaped greenery, featuring a private communal space with BBQ amenities and outdoor seating. This design approach creates a limited collection of individual homes, each contributing to the diversity of choice and promoting the idea of a “personal sanctuary.”
Construction and sales update
Hampton Ltd has made significant progress, with the demolition of existing structures completed and ongoing works on the substation. The design team is finalising Protection Works Notices and Stage 1 Building Permits.
With the project’s new display suite arriving on-site, prospective buyers are encouraged to make private appointments before the current suite closes or register to attend the Display Closing Event on 1 August.
Two- and three-bedroom residences are still available at Hampton Ltd, with two bedrooms priced from $1,290,000.
