Overview
The spectacular transformation of the Alphington paper mill into the ‘world’s most liveable suburb’ has been something to behold over the past five years of the YarraBend development. And the latest architect-designed addition won’t disappoint.
Masonry House, consisting of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, will be a welcoming entry point for residents. Its grand archway and art installation lead to a public courtyard designed by landscape architects MDG, with a sprawling lawn and raised lawn planters, seated areas and feature lighting.
Located on the corner of Mills Boulevard at the entrance to YarraBend, the building’s shape and style take their cues from the site’s heritage as much as it hints at the future. The innovation and thoughtful planning poured into Masonry House deliver four essential features for future residents: community, convenience, culture and contemporary design.
Project Features
On completion, YarraBend will become home to approximately 1300 new residences. Masonry House is just one of the many buildings that will sit on the massive 14-hectare site, with almost 300 metres of frontage to the Yarra River. Masonry House will belong to the Artisan precinct, centred around a vibrant retail piazza where people can socialise and enjoy artisanal offerings.
Shared spaces throughout the precinct, including the landscaped courtyard adjacent to Masonry House and communal rooftop terrace, encourage a sense of connection with neighbours. Into the broader YarraBend community, a Health and Wellness Centre, complete with world-class gym equipment, spas and saunas, will provide a place for residents to work out and relax. At the same time, The Hub will offer co-working spaces, business facilities and a private dining room.

Location
Located just 6.5 kilometres from the city, YarraBend is an excellent choice for city commuters. Alphington is also one of Melbourne’s most central suburbs, complemented by the fact it’s just over the river from the Chandler Highway entrance to the Eastern Freeway. This leads to the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula in one direction and the CBD. Public transport is all too easy with Alphington train station just 450 metres away and buses on Chandler Highway. Masonry House residents will also enjoy the convenience of Alphington Village, a shopping centre that is set to feature Coles and Aldi, plus speciality stores.
