Property developer BEKL has announced the launch of its new luxury inner-city residences Vivére on Dorcas, set to offer vibrant hotel living as part of its new triple-segment tower in South Melbourne.
The launch comes after BEKL was granted full permit approval for the mixed-use development.
A collaboration between BEKL and Plus Architecture, Vivére on Dorcas will comprise 36 luxury residences, made up of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
The apartments will boast stunning views over the bay and across the Botanic Gardens, and will sit atop an upscale 171-room voco hotel, operated by IHG.
Hotel services will be available for residents, including convenient concierge services and on-demand housekeeping, along with access to the hotel’s lobby-level bar, restaurant, and gym.
Residents will also have access to BEKL’s recently launched co-working space Curago, also nestled within the tower.
Enriching the ‘work from home’ experience, Curago will offer residents a thriving and productive community space where authentic connections can be made, minus the commute.
Residents will also gain access to Curago’s photography studio, meditation chamber and more.
BEKL managing director Katherine Liu said: “Along with the BEKL team, I am thrilled to introduce this rare lifestyle opportunity to South Melbourne – one that we would be happy to utilise and extremely proud to live in ourselves.
“I had previously lived in an apartment above the Westin and the experience was fantastic.
“I felt very safe and secure knowing there was always someone at the door or lobby to keep an eye on things.
“Having access to housekeeping meant we could ask for on-demand home cleaning services, along with dry cleaning and more.
“The concierge team made living a breeze, from collecting parcels to providing suggestions for new happenings in Melbourne and it’s these comforting details that we are excited to offer to residents.”
Construction is due to commence in the fourth quarter of next year, with completion scheduled for January 2025.
