Luxurious apartments with garden connections
The Eastbourne
The luxury residential development built on the site of the former Dallas Brooks Hall offers 245 apartments opposite East Melbourne’s Fitzroy Gardens.

Head of Residential, Mirvac
The design references the site’s history as the headquarters of Freemasons Victoria, and uses stone detailing extensively to provide a sense of craftmanship, quality and refinement. Freemasons Victoria maintains a connection with the development, occupying a purpose-built facility on the corner of Victoria Parade and Eades Street.
Capitalising on the premium position, large terraces provide residents with a tangible connection to the parkland opposite, and define the building’s appearance as a series of floating horizontal planes.

Inside, exceptional residential amenity is more akin to a hotel and includes pool, spa, steam room, gymnasium, yoga room, theatre, private lounges with fireplaces, wine cellar, and a bookable dining room and kitchen.
Creating a sustainable environment for residents was at the forefront of the design, and consideration was given to everything from materials to lighting efficiency.
