A quiet transformation is taking place in Melbourne’s city centre with families choosing to put down roots in the CBD.
Driven by a desire for convenience and lifestyle, modern families are increasingly seeking out larger, more liveable apartments that support their growing need to live in environments full of energy, creativity, and opportunity.
Meeting the call to redefine what it means to raise a family in Melbourne city, The Queensbridge Building is a new luxury development designed with modern urban living in mind.
The 65 spacious three-bedroom apartments in the Queensbridge Residences prioritise comfort, flexibility, and long-term liveability, offering more than just a place to live, but a lasting home in the heart of Melbourne.
Why are families moving into the Melbourne CBD?
The vibrant lifestyle of the Melbourne city centre, filled with cafés, culture, events, and entertainment, offers families a dynamic place to live.
Everything they need, from top schools, world-class universities, and employers of choice to sprawling parks, cultural institutions, and public transport, is at their doorstep, offering more opportunities for career growth, education, and social connection.
With large modern apartments now making it possible to enjoy city living without compromising on space or comfort, more and more families are trading in traditional and high-maintenance homes in the suburbs for quality time doing the things they love.
Daniel Denize, brand manager of Time & Place, the developer behind The Queensbridge Building, says their three-bedroom apartments blend the feel of a traditional home with the advantages of urban living.
“Today’s buyers are seeking family-sized apartments that combine space, flexibility, and high-quality design – features that are often associated with traditional homes but harder to find in urban environments.
With large living spaces and a design that prioritises family needs, the Queensbridge Residences provide modern families room to grow without compromising on location or convenience,” he says.
Located in the heart of the CBD, The Queensbridge Building offers residents family living with an exciting Melbourne city lifestyle.
What makes a family-sized home?
A family-sized home offers enough space for everyone to live, play, relax, and grow comfortably.
It includes generous living areas, spacious bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and thoughtful storage.
Flexibility in layout also allows for changing needs as children grow or families evolve.
Floor plans for the Queensbridge Residences’ three-bedroom apartments are generously sized from 100 sqm to 170 sqm.
With architectural design by Fraser & Partners and interiors by Flack Studio, the apartments feature thoughtful inclusions such as family-sized kitchens, premium finishes, and large picture windows providing stunning views of the city.
Starting at $1.482 million, they offer families a more affordable option than comparable homes in Melbourne’s inner and middle-ring suburbs.
In neighbouring Albert Park, for example, the median price for a three-bedroom house is $2.392 million according to realestate.com.au data.
“The apartments offer families the space they need and the design ensures that residents have enough room for everyday living, entertaining, and personal moments.
“The interiors embrace the concept of ‘modern nostalgia,’ blending the comfort of a traditional home with the sleekness of contemporary design,” Denize says.
The large open-plan living spaces with generous kitchens are perfect for families.
What are buyers looking for in family apartments?
Buyers are looking for family apartments with spacious layouts, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and modern finishes that won’t need renovating or updating.
They want open-plan living, natural light, and access to outdoor areas and communal spaces.
Centrally located where the Melbourne CBD meets the Yarra River, South Melbourne, and the Arts Precinct, the Queensbridge Building is less than a 15-minute walk to over fifteen green spaces, world-class sports facilities, the city’s cultural precinct, South Melbourne’s iconic markets, and Melbourne’s bayside playground.
The Queensbridge Building, built by Hickory, also provides residents with exclusive access to The Clubhouse managed by the building’s experience director.
It includes a lap pool, yoga rooms, a gym, wellness facilities, a modern “kitchen pantry” corner store, co-working spaces, lounges, bars, dining rooms, a ground floor bistro, clubhouse catering, and rooftop gardens.
Residents can enjoy extra luxury and convenience with in-building amenities like the lap pool.
Onsite and pay-as-you-go services are also provided by the boutique Hannah St Hotel.
“The shared amenities with the Queensbridge Building precinct play a key role in fostering a sense of community and enhancing residents’ lifestyles,” Denize says.
“The pool house, gym, and yoga rooms offer opportunities for relaxation and exercise without leaving the building, while the clubhouse provides additional space for social gatherings on site.
“The Hannah St Hotel anchors the precinct by offering convenient food and drink options, with the added benefit of providing services on a pay-as-you-go basis.
“This makes the Queensbridge Residences an ideal choice for families and downsizers looking for a connected, vibrant living environment with easy access to everyday conveniences.”
