Sand, sea and tonnes of style
There’s nothing to do but enjoy the luxurious surrounds while taking in the sea view in this five-star residence

If Melbourne is the most liveable city in Australia then the inner circle location of St Kilda must be amongst the most liveable suburbs in the southern capital. Vibrant restaurants and cultural activities, including the iconic Luna Park, are within easy distance of the popular beach, which is itself rimmed by parkland and the Bay Trail.
Overlooking this view of bush, sand and sea is St Moritz at 14-16 The Esplanade. Designed by Fender Katsilidis, the building offers residents direct views of the beach, down the Peninsula and across the waters to Williamstown.
Completed less than two years ago, the exclusive residence was constructed on the former St Moritz ice rink. Since opening, it has become synonymous with the best of residential luxury design while offering facilities more commonly seen in five-star hotels, including a 25m pool, sauna and spa room, a fully equipped gym, a cryotherapy and floatation tank as well as a yoga and pilates space. In addition, there is also a library, a cinema and champagne bar plus a wine storage space, tasting room and private dining area.
While the properties were quick to sell, the sub penthouse has just come onto the market, offering a rare opportunity to buy into this boutique development. Positioned on the sixth floor, the three-bedroom apartment feels more like a house, with multiple thoughtfully planned living spaces and separate dining area. The marble kitchen is fully equipped for entertaining, with Gaggenau appliances, Vintec wine storage and restaurant-style Sub Zero fridges.
The master bedroom offers a full suite experience, with extensive wardrobe and dressing room and a sanctuary-style bathroom complete with generous bath and rainwater showerheads.
There’s also a dedicated four-car garage and fifth parking space, the final luxury for an outstanding property.

Mirvac has topped out Trielle at Melbourne’s Yarra’s Edge, with more than 70 per cent of the riverfront development sold and approximately 80 per cent of purchasers intending to make their apartment a home.
The figures, released on September 22, point to an owner-occupier audience for one of the precinct’s final residential towers. Mirvac began developing Yarra’s Edge in 2003, and its latest addition occupies one of the remaining absolute riverfront sites.
Mirvac CEO of Development Stuart Penklis said existing residents were among those moving up within the neighbourhood.
“Many purchasers already have a connection to Yarra’s Edge,” Mr Penklis said, describing buyers whose changing needs were encouraging an upgrade within the precinct.
“As one of the final residential towers within Yarra’s Edge, Trielle represents the culmination of more than two decades of creating one of Melbourne’s most established and sought-after waterfront communities,” Penklis said.
“Positioned on the Collins Street axis with absolute river frontage, Trielle offers residents a rare opportunity to enjoy sweeping views across the Yarra River, Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, while remaining seamlessly connected to the CBD. With Trielle now more than 70 per cent sold, we’re continuing to see strong demand from buyers seeking quality homes in established locations.”
The developer also flagged a penthouse and sub-penthouse collection with larger layouts, premium finishes and broad outlooks. The planned wellness centrepiece, The Oasis, encompasses a 900-square-metre elevated urban rainforest.
Mirvac General Manager Residential Development Victoria Elysa Anderson said Trielle had resonated strongly with buyers seeking a rare lifestyle offering in Melbourne.
“Opportunities to secure a new luxury residence on a riverfront site of this calibre are incredibly rare, particularly within a community like Yarra’s Edge,” Anderson said.
“What makes Trielle unique is the combination of exceptional views, world-class residential facilities and the lifestyle that already exists around it. Residents are buying into a mature waterfront community with parks, promenades, dining, wellness and strong community connections already in place.”
The 45-level tower brings a substantial new presence to that waterfront. Its residential offering spans one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, with Signature, Prestige and Sub-Penthouse collections accommodating different household sizes. The north-facing position connects the apartments visually to the river and city beyond.
Seven storeys above the promenade, the planned Oasis combines planting and a running stream with a Scandinavian-inspired wellness club developed with spa specialist Naomi Gregory. Facilities include a 25-metre lap pool, hot magnesium pool, sauna, hydrotherapy, a gym, yoga and Pilates room, and treatment spaces.
The amenity extends beyond exercise. Residents will have access to The Biblioteca library and workspaces, ground-floor work pods, and The Salone piano lounge. A private Chef’s Table dining room offers a setting for larger gatherings, while a cinema, games room and sports lounge broaden the entertaining options. Concierge services and a dog-wash area support everyday routines.
Trielle comprises a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences. Reflecting strong demand from owner occupiers, approximately 80 per cent of purchasers to date intend to live in their homes, highlighting the project’s appeal to those seeking a long-term waterfront lifestyle.
Mirvac has recently delivered The Albertine, a premium apartment development on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD, and is nearing completion of Prince & Parade in Brunswick, further strengthening its portfolio of thoughtfully designed apartment communities in some of Melbourne’s most sought-after urban locations.
