Beloved by empty nesters, families and twenty-somethings alike, Brunswick’s appeal is vast and varied. Countless dining options, bars and pubs line Sydney Road; a network of bike and walking trails connects to Merri Creek; and, topping it all off, an inclusive, progressive community spirit.

Prince and Parade, a new landmark for Brunswick, has just been completed, introducing 169 new homes and an exciting ground-floor commercial precinct.
The finishing touches were made to the Mirvac development last month, and the first residents have already begun moving in.
Located on the corner of Sydney and Brunswick roads, Prince and Parade occupies a prime position opposite Princes Park – a treasured green space that spans 39 hectares and caters to everyone from runners to picnickers.
701 Park Street, Brunswick, VIC 3056
The park and Brunswick’s urban history helped shape the vision behind Prince and Parade. The facades reference the brickwork in many of the suburb’s older homes, while the townhouses’ three-storey brick piers draw on the traditional Victorian terraces throughout the area.
Prince and Parade’s Epicurean Quarter is a collection of shared residents’ spaces, including a lounge, a private dining room with a custom-designed kitchen, a landscaped communal garden, a library, a gym and a wellness studio. Crowning the building is a landscaped rooftop terrace with barbecues and dining areas from which to enjoy views across Princes Park, Royal Park and the Melbourne skyline.
Also catering to residents and the public is the Ice Bath Club, one of the proposed ground-floor commercial tenancies. The wellness concept includes communal ice baths, saunas and hot bathing facilities, complemented by a cafe. Two additional commercial tenancies are planned, adding further activity and convenience at street level.
For their apartments, buyers can choose from three colour schemes. The Sanctuary palette features pale eucalypt and paperbark tones, forest-green natural-stone benchtops, warm timber and joinery. The Natural palette combines neutral shades with natural stone, porcelain tiles and warm timber finishes, while the Celestial palette features muted ochre and earth tones paired with burnt-sienna stone benchtops, bronze tapware and ochre tiles.
With the building recently completed, Trovato expects a new wave of potential buyers to take a closer look at the residences on offer.
“I think, particularly for owner-occupiers and downsizers, there’s always that slight hesitation with off-the-plan developments given the tangible nature of the established market and perhaps what they’ve been used to,” he says.
“So now that we’ve been able to open the doors and bring people in to experience the expansive spaces, generous volumes, beautiful park views, humanity and quality of what we’ve delivered, as well as the finishes and materiality, I think it’s created a level of excitement among buyers that you don’t get in the display suite.”
