Luxury new development set to shake up Forrest

The term prestigious location gets thrown around often. It’s fair to say that as the nation’s capital our real estate is prime territory. But, when Parliament House is your closest neighbour, it doesn’t get much more prestigious than this.

“Estate will be just as extraordinary as its location and a building of national significance,” Addval Developments general manager Michelle Dzakula says.

Estate is a residential development of one to four-bedroom apartments. Every aspect has been meticulously planned to make the most of its surroundings.

The building has been angled for the best possible views for every home, with architectural design cues taken from Canberra’s most prominent landmarks.

“Considering the unobstructed environment, the landscaping is unique, with cultivated pocket parks that link three distinct, individually charming buildings,” Dzakula says.

“Built on a perpendicular axis from St Andrew’s Church, the geometry of the architecture reflects the characteristics of the area – from the concentric circles to the striking lines of Parliament House.”

Residents will enjoy high-end furnishings such as Villeroy and Boch tapware, Italian marble kitchen and bathroom splashbacks, quartz Caesarstone benchtops and custom-made joinery and vanities. Estate is also the first development of this scale in Canberra to feature innovative German Gaggenau appliances.

Estate also provides easy access to the Kingston and Manuka shopping and dining precincts. You might even find a politician or two dining nearby, tucking into a plate of crispy duck (Portia’s Place serves the best), plotting yet another leadership spill.

But, the true standout feature of Estate is the communal wine cellar and its adjoining tasting and entertainment areas.

“Addval consulted premier wine personality Tyson Stelzer in the design of the cellar to ensure the ultimate in wine storage,” Dzakula says.

“Every residence will have a private climatic-controlled wine cellar, allowing owners to enjoy their finest vintages exactly the way they were intended to be.”

Expected completion is late 2020.
