The Marker takes a significant step forward in the evolution of West Melbourne. A statement of quality, liveability and scale, to shape the urban fabric of an historic neighbourhood. The first edition, Stanley & Spencer, is perfectly positioned to take advantage of a landmark location with design that exemplifies a more advanced approach to modern living.
On the edge of the city and bordering a tranquil, tree-lined neighbourhood, the precinct is transforming into a leafy residential borough, with its industrial heritage reimagined for a growing community of urban dwellers. Surrounded by a privilege of Melbourne’s favourite parks and gardens, the area exudes an unmistakable village vibe. Connectivity is immediate with a tram stop at your door to transport you into the heart of the city, North Melbourne and the Docklands in mere minutes.
Stanley and Spencer will be the face of a new West Melbourne, a socially diverse and culturally inclusive neighbourhood that naturally extends the limits of the CBD. The prized precinct has become the focus of The West Melbourne Structure Plan that will sustainably grow the area to its full potential, developing leafy, pedestrianized streetscapes alongside residential neighbourhoods, retail and social hubs for a growing community.

From central residents' gardens to the intimate club lounge and places for an impressive dinner party, each zone has been carefully designed to encourage connection and celebrate life.
Spear-headed by an international interior design studio and inspired by the unique architectural façade that envelopes the development, the interiors exemplify the essence of soft form, textural layering and light play. Across a diverse range of studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom configurations, flowing layouts combine worldly comforts with a lavish approach to materiality and detail.
