Central Equity opens Melbourne Grand

The CBD’s latest luxury residential tower is now complete, with the opening of prominent Southbank developer Central Equity’s Melbourne Grand. Carefully and creatively designed in collaboration with Graham Fisher of Guilford Bell Graham Fisher Architects, the 58-level building at 560 Lonsdale St sees Central Equity add to its list of several CBD projects in addition to Southbank, where it has developed more than 30 buildings. Melbourne Grand offers extensive resident amenities and unparalleled luxury in the heart of the CBD and has been designed for the needs of young professionals and empty-nesters as well as for the growing tide of young parents looking to raise their families in the inner city. Melbourne Grand will greet residents with a sense of “hotel style” luxury as they enter the foyer with an experienced round the clock concierge team assisting their daily needs. The apartments are generously sized and many, whether they be one-, two-, or three-bedroom apartments, have studies which accommodate the needs of busy professionals and offer a space to work from home in this ever-changing office life. As working from home has become a much-talked-about topic in recent times, the team at Central Equity prides itself on staying ahead of the curve with industry-leading design and residential facilities, allowing occupants to continue life as usual while work continues from home. The abundance of floor-to-ceiling glazing encourages residents to make the most of the breathtaking views from Melbourne’s inner city and north across to Flagstaff Gardens and south to Port Phillip Bay, with balconies on all apartments to ensure occupants can maximise these views. Melbourne Grand has been built with resident facilities that are ready for use now and incorporate the customary luxury associated with all Central Equity developments. The tower boasts around 1700 sqm of facilities, which include banquet rooms for residents, in-house entertaining, a luxurious diamond class theatre and lounges while fostering a sense of community with a coffee lounge for residents to meet and catch up. Residents will have access to a large gym, sauna, yoga room, indoor swimming pool and barbecue areas, while also gaining access to the exclusive “Lonsdale Club” resident facilities. The project encourages sustainable trans- port alternatives with generous amounts of bicycle and motorbike storage in addition to private car parking. Melbourne Grand is within the free city tram zone and a short walk to several train stations and bus routes Melbourne’s universities, prestige schools, retail precincts, Flagstaff Gardens and the legal district, are all within walking distance. Strong interest has been shown from lawyers, barristers and other members of the legal profession seeking the convenience of being close to the courts and legal offices.
