No matter where you walk, or which pocket you find yourself in, there’s always something to see and do in Richmond

Whether it’s a stroll down Melbourne’s very own slice of Ho Chi Minh City, Victoria Street, brimming with pho restaurants and plenty of culture.

Bridge Road: lined with shops, cafes and designer stores.

Or the high-end furniture stores, boutiques and restaurants along Church Street, also known for its pumping bars and nightlife, and just a short walk or tram ride to the epicentre of Chapel Street.

All of this is right next door to the centre of the city, which helps explain why so many Melburnians are looking to call this eclectic hub home.

Enter ‘Made,’ a mix of 76 one and two bedroom apartments placing you at the centre of the thriving Church Street precinct.

The elegant new development has everything you need at your fingertips. A drink at the pub after work? Sure. Delicious dinner delivered to your door? Easy.

This is the lifestyle most dream about, but few have the opportunity to live.

“The thing that sets this apartment development apart is that it’s boutique, there’s nothing else like it around this area, or most areas in fact,” explains Eton Property Group’s Director, Bradley Dean.

“The good thing about Made is that it’s set back a bit, not in the middle of 10 buildings in Victoria Street, it’s a bit quieter.”

DKO Architecture has worked with the development’s 101 year old historic facade, blending Richmond’s industrial legacy with a sleek and contemporary design.

This mix of old and new creates an environment rich with textures and personality, which begins with the landscaped courtyard at the centre of the complex.

The industrial meets luxury aesthetic is used throughout each apartment, all of which are filled with natural light courtesy of floor-to-ceiling windows.

A light, bright colour palette helps amplify the feeling of space, with many of the apartments looking out over views of the city and the bustling street life below.

And to top it off, each apartment comes with normal car parks, rather than the car stackers that seem to be the norm these days.

“We’ve had a couple of buyers who live in the suburbs looking to downsize. They are happy to spend a little bit more money to get exactly what they want,” Mr Dean says.

And while many aspects of the prime location have already been discussed, it’s certainly worth mentioning that North and West Richmond stations are within walking distance.

As is Melbourne’s sporting heart: the MCG, in addition to Melbourne Park and AAMI Park. 

Then there is a number of hip and trendy cafes, restaurants, bars, galleries and parks all within a stone’s throw.
