Wonderfully delivered by ICD Property and Elenberg Fraser, and one of Australia’s fastest-selling projects of 2019, Aspire Melbourne is set to become a beautiful new addition to the city’s glistening skyline. 

Exuding modernist simplicity and elegance, this landmark project, due for completion in 2023, is intimately tied to its location and heritage, reflecting both the city’s past and future.

Aspire Melbourne represents the last chance for buyers to purchase into a CBD super tower — one that offers an incredible amount of onsite amenity within a stunning structure. 

“The elegant and sinuous form of Aspire Melbourne reflects the ever-changing character of the city and announces a new iconic centre for Melbourne’s grand West-End,” says Callum Fraser, director of Elenberg Fraser.

The land beneath this impressive new development was once a picturesque composition of lush greenery, earthy terrains, and shimmering water. Now, Flagstaff Gardens plays a significant role in the makeup of the façade. 

“The picturesque gardens present an irresistible reference for our design,” Mr Fraser adds. “We were intrigued by the idea of the tower as Flagstaff for contemporary Melbourne. It becomes a landmark within the park precinct yet provides an elegant backdrop to multiple vistas from within the gardens.

“This metaphor of the flagstaff has inspired the design of Aspire Melbourne as a contemporary sculptural object. Boolean techniques give the tower its form with a fabric-like skin that almost billows softly in the wind.”

Within this luxury development lies a host of onsite amenity that rivals that of a 5-star hotel. Across its multiple levels are an array of beautifully appointed spaces specifically designed for ultimate relaxation, recreation or exercise. Whether you want to spend time with friends and family or seek a quiet haven to wind down, Aspire Melbourne provides the perfect location. 

Reminiscent of an Australian billabong, the pool is a sumptuous watering hole. Lying in a grotto-like setting, experience a sense of space and escape before retreating to the smaller, adjoining chamber for the changing rooms, sauna and spa.

For an even more lavish spot, the indulgent outdoor hot tub offers the idyllic spot for a post-dip glass of champagne. Set atop a podium and with sweeping vistas of the sparkling CBD, this location is surrounded by lush greenery and a dining area for extravagant and intimate gatherings. 

Aspire Melbourne is home to two exercise areas for activity and wellness. The gym is coupled with a wellness centre, which features floor-to-ceiling windows that reflect the serene landscape beyond — a tranquil spot for early morning yoga as the sun rises over the horizon.

The library is a magnificent mix of traditional lounges and desk areas. Work, study or simply curl up and enjoy a good book in this tranquil environment. Or, for something more social, hold intimate dinner parties, or cocktails and canapé celebrations, within multiple private dining rooms scattered throughout the building.

Enjoy a poker game with the finest scotch, single malt or bourbon in the Whiskey Parlour, revel in a bottle of bubbles among the clouds in the Champagne Conservatory, or hold casual drinks and dinner in the Park Suite Residents’ Lounge whilst peering out across Flagstaff Gardens. For special occasions, this exclusive space features a fully equipped kitchen, mirrored walls and marble benchtops.

Your home at Aspire Melbourne reveals the perfect viewpoint to indulge in panoramas of the stunning, flickering lights of the skyline. The interiors are designed for tomorrow’s city, offering sanctuary and respite for cosmopolitan urbanites seeking to recharge.

In the kitchen, dramatic stone surfaces and bespoke metal elements referencing the precious metals of the Gold Rush era provide elements of luxury. Meanwhile, the generous island benches ensure effortless meal preparation every time.

A restrained colour palette and a natural material selection create a sense of calm in the bedrooms. Gold accents continue this historic reference, while expansive windows maximise the outlook over the CBD. 

The bathrooms are defined by a paler palette consisting of white tiling and joinery. Stone benches and mirror splashbacks also adorn this relaxing and peaceful haven.
