Melbourne, a city divided by the Yarra River, can be seen as a incomplete puzzle, with different neighbourhoods and areas dictating lifestyles and personas.

So where does a tree-lined suburb, that is so conveniently located 6kms east of the CBD fit in?

If you haven’t guessed already, it is Hawthorn - and the latest development to hit the area, in Hawthorn Bond, has used the suburb’s leafy promenades and hills to define itself - Hawthorn Bond is a self-portrait of its inspiration and motivation.

Located at 609 Burwood Rd, Hawthorn Bond presents contemporary living in one of Melbourne’s finest residential pockets. In a block of only 31 unique apartments, showcasing both one and two bedroom apartments, it is without surprise that 30% of the apartments have already sold. 

“We don’t believe that blue chip locations should only be accessible by those who can afford the accompanying price tag,” said Shine Corp representative Helena Lau, “with an offering of 31 unique floor plans, we’ve tailored the development to offer a range of apartments for everyone.”

In such a competitive market, developers, architects, landscapers and builders must aim to rise expectations of both the industry and the purchaser.

“Luxury living in the highly sought after suburb of Hawthorn has never been more accessible with the launch of Hawthorn Bond,” said Samson Tiew, Director of One Design Office, “we offer an affordable entry into a suburb that boasts a median house price of over $1.5 million.’

Hawthorn Bond’s accessibility and proximity to a wide-range of amenities and conveniences is one of the many reasons why the demand for apartments in this block is so high.

“Located on Burwood Road and within walking distance to the quaint Auburn Village, residents of Hawthorn Bond have an endless amount of amenities at their finger tips,” said Samson Tiew.

“Apartments on levels three and four will enjoy picturesque views of the surrounding suburbs, with west-facing apartments capturing city views, and north-facing apartments overlooking Central Gardens.”

It is with these surrounds; surrounds that are atypical to Hawthorn’s environment, that Hawthorn Bond formed.

“The key design intent was to present the building as an element of the existing streetscape that is rich in heritage such that the building sat harmoniously within its surroundings.”

With a lot of the building materials sourced locally, particularly the use of Hawthorn Black Bricks, the development’s facade is directly paying homage to the rich industrial heritage of Hawthorn, rather than besiege it with a foreign design promise.

“It was one of the key considerations when the design was being birthed,” continued Mr Tiew, “the use of pastel coloured tiles and timber floors softens the concrete ceilings; the natural material pallet works together to present sophisticated living that celebrates local history whilst providing a canvas for individual taste.”

With Australian hardwood flooring, Smeg appliances and natural finishes throughout, Hawthorn Bond is perfect for anyone who demands comforts and luxury, yet this time, without the million-dollar price tag.
