Yarrabend | Melbourne | Mixed-Use
Summary | A riverfront masterplanned community in Melbourne’s inner east, harmonizing residential, retail, and green spaces with a sustainable, riverfront vision.
YarraBend, located in Melbourne’s vibrant inner east, is a mixed-use masterplanned community harmonizing residential, retail, and parkland spaces. Just 6 km from the Melbourne CBD, it offers 1–4 bedroom residences, with completion in 2025. The project transforms a former industrial site along the Yarra River into a lifestyle hub, integrating dining, shopping, and 10 acres of parklands within the development.
Urban integration - Located 6 km from Melbourne CBD, YarraBend connects residents to the city’s hubs through public transit (Heidelberg railway station, 15-minute ride to CBD) and walkability, fostering a connected urban lifestyle. Proximity to The Bend dining and Yarra River trails enhances its vibrant, community-oriented character.
Sustainability - YarraBend incorporates eco-conscious design and infrastructure, with 10 acres of parklands (Yarra Parklands, riverfront trails), green rooftops, and water storage systems, targeting a 6 Star Green Star Rating. Features include energy-efficient appliances and adaptive reuse of industrial structures, supporting Melbourne’s sustainable urban growth.
Architectural Quality - YarraBend features a contemporary design with clean lines, brick accents, and glass facades, inspired by the area’s industrial heritage at the former Amcor paper mill. The project balances modern aesthetics with heritage elements like the preserved 1920 and 1954 boiler houses, complemented by lush greenery throughout.
Long-Term Design Value - YarraBend ensures Long-Term Value through Urban Integration, Community Engagement, and Eco-Conscious design. Its sustainable, community-focused approach meets Melbourne’s demand for vibrant, riverfront urban spaces, delivering sustained impact and adaptability for future residents.
Strategic Alignment - YarraBend reflects PD’s focus on design-driven urban projects, aligning with Melbourne’s market trends for mixed-use, riverfront communities. Its pre-sales flexibility (completion 2025) ensures adaptability, capitalizing on the mixed-use design to deliver a sustainable, community-focused urban experience.
Why It’s Curated?
YarraBend is curated for its exemplary mixed-use design, reshaping Melbourne’s inner east into a vibrant riverfront community hub. Located along the Yarra River, it links 1–4 bed residences with retail and expansive parklands, championing sustainable urban living. With vibrant amenities and proximity to Yarra Parklands and The Bend dining, YarraBend appeals to middle to upper-income buyers seeking modern, cohesive urban living.
Placemaking Impact
YarraBend fosters a sense of place by creating a community-driven hub in Melbourne’s inner east. Expansive parklands (Yarra Parklands, riverfront trails) and the culinary hub of The Bend (by Adam D'Sylva) encourage social interaction, while its walkable design and access to public transit enhance urban connectivity. The project’s eco-conscious approach creates a sustainable, vibrant environment that integrates with Melbourne’s urban fabric, supporting Urban Integration and User-Centered Design.
