The architects have seamlessly combined brickwork with bold modern lines and gleaming expanses of glass to deliver a collection of apartments that feel deeply connected to their environment.

About this Location

”Gentrification is rejuvenating Essendon into prime real estate for the investor and owner alike”

Ask agents what lures property hunters most today – young families mainly – and they will unanimously chorus “schools, schools, schools” primary and secondary, public and private, including Penleigh and Essendon Grammar, Lowther Hall and St Columba’s College.

Schools drive the property market over and above anything else. Often, schools dictate which streets are most sought after. LINC on Russell Street is nestled amongst the most sought-after school’s precinct in Melbourne.

Character abounds in Essendon. It’s not a suburb where any old development will do. The suburb boasts heritage from the Victorian, Edwardian and Federation era that is well preserved. New LINC architecturally designed Essendon apartments have to match the style and sophistication of the area to do well.

The project is conveniently located on Russell Street, Linc Apartments sit gazing at the Melbourne skyline with expressive yet unobtrusive architecture. Very few Essendon apartments for sale can claim not one but three sumptuous outdoors spaces. Linc features a sun-soaked courtyard on level one, a rooftop Teppanyaki Garden and a separate outdoor BBQ entertaining area.

Major Features

You will also benefit from the original offer of qualifying for window furnishings to the value of $3,500, which is essentially covering all the floor to ceiling windows – provided by the developer as complimentary.

You also qualify for the original pre-July 2017 off-the-plan transfer stamp duty concession/benefit. This benefit is fully transferable (approx. $23,000) to the proposed new owner(s) accordingly. This is basically, a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a brand new apartment without paying for the heavy burden of stamp duty.

To note that the Victorian government has abolished the no stamp duty concession benefit on off-the-plan purchasers on the 01/07/2017.  Now, whoever buys new off-the-plan must pay for the stamp duty which is around 5% to 6% of the purchase price (unless you are purchasing for owner occupation purposes you may qualify for stamp duty concession).

Located less than 8 km from the Melbourne CBD, LINC places residents in a truly enviable position for a modern, connected lifestyle.

This is an opportunity not to be missed. 

 LINC has a Walkability Score of 90 out of 100. This location is a Walker’s Paradise so daily errands do not require a car. 

With today’s new focus on green living, urban efficiency, and simplification, a property Walk Score is important to consider.

Why is the Walk Score for renters and buyers so important? Consider the following…

• Walkability and public transit are associated with higher property values
• Transportation costs are the 2nd largest household expense
• Commute time and places to walk are two of the most important criteria for tenants and property buyers 
• A home’s location (location efficiency) is often more important than the building’s energy efficiency 

Properties proximity to employment, transport, and infrastructure do experience higher demand and growth

The apartments at Linc are available in a luxurious range of floor plans and configurations, but all share a similar dedication to crafting versatile and contemporary spaces. The open plan nature of the design maximises space, a feeling that is further emphasised through the abundant natural light that floods in through the floor to ceiling windows. Each apartment is available in two colour schemes, Shell and Stone. The fixtures and finishes included are of the highest quality, further reinforcing the attention to detail present throughout.

Linc will offer a selection of apartments that have been designed and

crafted by a talented project team with a proven track record

Supply and demand in Essendon

The level of competition in a suburb can affect prices and availability.

Supply and Demand data from 01 Mar 2016 – 28 Feb 2017

Demand is calculated as the average number of visits per listing per month over the last 12 months to realestate.com.au/buy that includes at least one property details page view in Essendon, VIC 3040. Supply is calculated as the average number of property listings per month that have been viewed at least once that month on realestate.com.au/buy in Essendon, VIC 3040 over the last 12 months.

 The level of demand for individual listings varies. The data above shows the average for the suburb. realestate.com.au makes no claim about the statistical significance nor accuracy of the data. Please note: This information is based on realestate.com.au data. The purpose is to give buyers and sellers an indication of interest in properties in the suburb, based on that data. It is not a definitive representation of market supply and demand.

 Big, grand and green lush with a riverside vista, broad boulevards and leafy streets dappled with gorgeous historical homes, Essendon’s one stylish enclave  – Essendon’s a treat to unwrap.

Essendon’s amazing period homes are still the pride of their original owners, older folks who keep the spirit and flavour of
Essendon alive. You’ll also find many families with older children taking advantage of Essendon’s
brilliant riverside location with its lovely cafes, impressive schools, bike tracks and proximity to the city.

If you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy a little bit of the good life, Essendon knows how to deliver. Much of
Essendon’s buzz bubbles along on the banks of the mighty Maribyrnong River, where people cycle along the bike
tracks while families picnic in the parkland and ladies lunch at Poynton’s Nursery.

Shopping is an impressive array of strip shopping along parts of Napier St and Mount Alexander Rd, with
Highpoint mall nearby and the epic DFO drawing locals and cross-towners alike to its bargain stores. For families,
the range of schools is a major drawcard, and as for transport, well – what kind do you want? Essendon has trams,
trains, buses and yes, even an airport.

Only 6.3 Km to University of Melbourne and 7.4 Km to RMIT University.

If you love a period home – a grand Edwardian, a stylish Art Deco or a cute 1950s vintage pad – you’ll go wild for
Essendon, with its history-laden houses often set on large, lush blocks.

Then again, if you prefer something small, sleek and up to the second, you’ll find some gleamingly futuristic developments like
LINC popping up too. Fancy a glamorous elevated enclave with river views? Yep, Essendon’s got them too.

With lots of original residents showcasing the incredible period homes of this leafy suburb alongside families
enjoying the parklands and cafes, Essendon can give you the space to play it your way.

Australians continue to choose to move to state of Victoria

By Cameron Kusher

Demographic data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showed that Australia’s estimated resident population was 24,220,192 persons at the end of September 2016. Net overseas migration is once again trending higher.

Across the states and territories, Victoria is leading the way in terms of both the rate of population growth and the total increase in population. While Victoria’s population has grown by 2.1% over the 12 months to September 2016, the national population has increased by a substantially lower 1.5%. Annual net interstate migration to Vic is at an historic high. The data clearly points to the fact that Vic is the destination of choice for interstate migration currently.

This creates more demand for housing and is clearly a contributing factor to the rapid appreciation in Melbourne dwelling values which has been occurring for a number of years now.

AUSTRALIA’S FIRST SURF WAVE PARK

Coming to Melbourne Airport in 2018 next to the Essendon Football Club’s base.

Wave Park Group is excited to deliver Australia’s first surf park, URBNSURF Melbourne.
Surfing is a sport enjoyed by millions of Australians for its fun, health benefits and lifestyle. Up until now, surfing has been held back by geographic limitations, only available at certain coastal locations, and by weather conditions, needing enough swell, the right wind, tide, and daylight.

The surf will soon be up at Melbourne airport, with a surf park twice the size of the MCG and the first in the Southern Hemisphere is set to be built right next to the Essendon Football Club’s base.

URBNSURF Melbourne promises to be a compelling and iconic destination for surfers and non-surfers alike the park will offer surfing classes and competitions in its 320-meter surf lagoon.
