Why invest in Melbourne?
Location
Avant is perfectly placed to experience the best of Melbourne living, nestled in a quiet street between the bustling CBD, the vibrant market precinct and the city’s prestigious universities, with parks, shopping, transport and everything else you need at your door. The lush green lawns and stately trees of Flagstaff Gardens are only two blocks away, with the fresh produce and world of flavours at the Queen Victoria Market even closer. Melbourne is known for its world class education, and two of its most prestigious institutions, The University of Melbourne and RMIT, are both just a short walk from Avant. The major retail and transport hub, Melbourne Central, is only one block from Avant. Overhead walkways now extend this CBD shopping experience to Melbourne Emporium and on to Bourke Street Mall through the popular Myer department store. Besides the endless retail, employment and education opportunities of Melbourne, Avant offers the perfect location from which to set out and explore the city’s celebrated culinary scene and exciting nightlife. As well as the restaurants, cafés and clubs of the CBD, nearby Southbank, Docklands, St Kilda and the eclectic inner northern suburbs are all easily accessible from Avant. Whether you are walking or taking a tram from right outside your door, Avant provides a central location connected to the very best of Melbourne.
The Project
Avant is a radiant addition to Melbourne’s glittering city skyline at A’Beckett Street in the heart of the CBD. One of the country’s most awarded architectural practices, Elenberg Fraser, has woven together original aesthetic concepts to create an exquisite residential tower. The visionary design cleverly expresses the geometric nature of the building, enfolding Avant in an elegant weave-like pattern. Compressed at the base and stretching out towards the top of the building, this lace-like super surface comprises a network of distinctive white aluminum fins. At its base, the building blends in to the surrounding streetscape with a grand entrance. In the tower above are finely detailed residences and a series of premium communal spaces including a luxury pool and gym, private dining and lounge areas, and much more. Melbourne is a culturally rich city with an appreciation for intelligence and beauty. This is the essence of Avant. The opportunity now exists for a new life of sophistication behind its truly brilliant façade.

Education
Melbourne is recognised around the world for its high quality tertiary education, with two of the city’s most prestigious institutions within walking distance of Avant. RMIT has a proud reputation for its practical education and valuable industry partnerships, with vocational, undergraduate and postgraduate study in areas including technology, design and communication. The main campus of RMIT is just one block away from Avant. The University of Melbourne’s main campus in Parkville is only a little further away and easily accessible by tram. This is one of Australia’s best known universities, with its Business School, Law School and Medical School all particularly well regarded. In addition to these two renowned tertiary institutions, students from around Australia and overseas choose to study in Melbourne to attend La Trobe University, Monash University, Deakin University and many other places of learning. Being so close to the trams, buses and the train station of Melbourne Central, access to these schools is easy from Avant’s CBD location.
Life Style
Living at Avant is more than calling the city’s most attractive tower your home; more than living in a stylish apartment with spectacular views. Equalling the level of design is the level of amenity in the building. Within Avant, residents are provided with large spaces to socialise, active spaces to exercise and quiet spaces to study. A luxury pool, gym, landscaped outdoor areas and private dining rooms are just some of the options which elevate Avant to a new height of sophisticated CBD living. The premium lifestyle of Avant actually begins with a truly impressive lobby space that seamlessly transitions the external geometric form to the interior design through a series of weave-like patterns
