SP Setia crafts luxury high-rise Down Under for city dwellers, investors and offshore residents
LOCATED in Melbourne’s bustling prime central business district (CBD) is SP Setia’s newest landmark in Australia – UNO, a 65-storey high-rise which is part of a mixed-development.
Encompassing a heritage building the podium houses ground floor retail, foyer space, a childcare centre, a hotel and carparking with hotel rooms activating the aspect towards A’Beckett St.
Thereafter, 54 levels of UNO extends vertically from its podium, housing the remainder of a hotel as well as 486 residential apartments.
The development is targeted at young families or couples, investors, downsizers and even offshore residents who frequent Melbourne, voted the world’s most liveable city in 2017.
Selling from A$499,000 (RM1.57mil), the apartments within UNO will be available in a variety of layouts with sizes ranging from 548 sq ft to 1,100 sq ft.
The development enjoys immediate access to all of central Melbourne’s retail, recreation and employment opportunities, with the property being strategically located within the metropolis.
Construction is planned to commence in the third quarter of 2018, after launching within the first quarter of the year. The property is targeted for completion by the second quarter of 2021.
Potential buyers can choose from layout arrangements of one bedroom and one study; two bedrooms with two baths; two bedrooms, two baths and a study; or even the biggest unit configuration of three bedrooms with an additional study.
The development will stand out as a stunning addition to this active part of the city because of its high performance colour-shifting dichroic glass which displays visual transitions between shades of copper and sandstone colours, depending on the angle the building is viewed from.
The curved, concave floor plate shape expressed in the tower form is a direct result of the urban context of the site. The building is crafted to maximise and optimise the viewing angles of individual apartment units.
Guests frequenting the development will find hotel amenities on level nine of the building while residential facilities will be located on levels 40 and 64 of UNO.
Other residential facilities include an indoor heated pool, a yoga studio, kitchen and library.
Access to UNO is a breeze with a multitude of tram and bus stops within walking distance; the Melbourne Central Train Station is only two minutes away.
Accessibility to the high-rise will be improved with the upcoming CBD North Station which will be located five minutes away. The locale is also backed by easy access to highways.
Other attractions within walking distance of UNO are the Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Central, RMIT University, Flagstaff Gardens, State Library of Victoria, Emporium Shopping Centre, University of Melbourne, Bourke Street Mall, and Chinatown.
