Local: South Melbourne is a trailblazing Build-to-Rent development at 245 Normanby Road, designed by LiFE Architecture and inspired by Fishermans Bend's aviation heritage. The 35-storey tower offers a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments above a sleeved podium, with an aesthetic that evokes aircraft forms and fluid air movement - an exterior that subtly shifts with light and shadow. Ground-level commercial spaces, a café, co-working areas and meeting rooms support a live-work-play lifestyle, while a wellness-focused podium level includes a gym, yoga studio and outdoor play areas. Additional communal facilities are distributed through the mid and upper levels, fostering a connected, community-centred environment for residents.
