Property Information
The Victorian Government's long term plan to create a vibrant new central community, work and residential district in the Southbank precinct is emerging as one of the most ambitious and visionary redevelopments Melbourne has seen.
The Habitat Apartments is a new complex in the heart of Southbank's much-desired cultural precinct, designed to transform the urban living experience.
Habitat Apartments are also perfectly positioned for exploring all the beautiful parks, gardens and open spaces nearby. Residents will be welcomed by three-storey vertical gardens with built-in furniture as well as uninterrupted views towards the city, the Botanic Gardens and Port Phillip Bay.
Habitat will be a 'green' building in more ways than one. In addition to the three-storey vertical gardens and the open rooftop, the development will provide generous areas for bicycle storage as well as bike workshop on the ground floor. Habitat will also offer two cars for sharing by residents, 24/7.
