As Australia’s bush capital, there’s one thing Canberrans have learnt to take advantage of and that’s our stunning vistas.
Our tree-lined streets mean immediate views are packed with greenery. Look further beyond and we’re captivated by rolling countryside in one direction and the beautiful Brindabellas in the other.
Coupled with our stunning sunrises and sunsets and you have to admit that Canberra maintains a fairly ideal backdrop for life. So when a development maximises our surroundings, of course we’re going to take notice.
Introducing The Residences – a group of 90 one, two and three-bedroom apartments in Turner, boasting beautiful views and a stunning 360-degree rooftop garden.
“It’s the final stage of HTI Group’s awarded Midtown precinct in Turner,” says agent Sam Dodimead of Blackshaw Projects.
“The larger floor plans capitalise on a northerly aspect with unparalleled light-filled living and there are terrific views across Turner, O’Connor and towards Black Mountain from the higher floors.”
On the top floor is the rooftop garden that allows residents to really soak in the Inner North’s views.
“This space is ideal for entertaining and provides a great value amenity for the residents,” says Dodimead.
The visually impressive precast concrete building was designed by award-winning Cox Architecture and slots seamlessly into the surrounding precinct, which received an ACT Architecture Award in 2019.
“Compared to other developments on the market, The Residences boasts larger, wider floor plans with lots of storage and big double-glazed windows,” Dodimead says.
“Every floor plan has been carefully designed to ensure each of these boutique homes maximises space and sunlight.
“But a particular favourite of mine lies on the north-eastern corner of the building where there is an enormous, 118-square-metre floor plan. Purchasers can choose to have the layout in either a two or three-bedroom configuration, priced from $695,000.”
Each home comes equipped with quality Smeg appliances and is fashioned with striking natural finishes and the opportunity to choose from two distinctive, yet elegant light and dark colour schemes.
“These apartments are for people seeking great value and space,” says Dodimead.
“Those seeking low-maintenance lifestyles will find single-level floor plans and the ability to combine units an attractive proposition.
“And if you compare the cost of owning a similar size property in areas like Braddon, Campbell or Kingston, you can buy a lot of lifestyle with the money saved by choosing to own at The Residences.”
Best of all, it’s within walking distance to hubs like Braddon and the Ainslie shops. The Inn above Edgar’s in Ainslie is a gourmand’s delight, while The Duxton in O’Connor makes for the ideal local watering hole.
Expected completion is in approximately 24 months.
Price guide: $310,000-$805,000
