Located on the historic Alphington Paper Mill site just 6.5 km from the Melbourne CBD, the YarraBend development represents a blend of modern living and rich heritage within a masterplanned riverside community. Offering a diverse mix of apartments, townhomes, and houses typically priced from around $700,000 for apartments and upwards of $5.6m for exclusive penthouses, it sits firmly in the mid-to-premium market. Set along the Yarra River and surrounded by expansive parklands, many residences enjoy direct frontage or are within a short walking distance-often just a few hundred metres-of the river and its network of trails, reinforcing its strong lifestyle appeal.

Designed as a lifestyle-focused precinct, YarraBend features resort-style amenities including wellness centres, gyms, pools, co-working spaces, and a curated retail and dining village, all supported by a strong emphasis on walkability and green open space. Its inner-city location allows convenient access to transport, with typical travel times to the CBD of around 15–20 minutes. Sustainability is also a central pillar of the development, which has achieved a ‘six leaf’ accreditation under the Urban Development Institute of Australia EnviroDevelopment framework-the highest rating available-highlighting its commitment to environmental performance. This is reflected in features such as reclaimed materials, green rooftops, rainwater harvesting and rain gardens, solar panels, energy-efficient lighting, and bike storage for every home. Combining contemporary architectural design with thoughtfully integrated heritage buildings, YarraBend both honours the site’s industrial past and offers residents the opportunity to be part of a long-term, evolving urban community focused on sustainability and liveability.
