Introduction
In the 1850s the Victorian gold rush led to a population boom and the expansion of Melbourne. This desirable, elevated area, known as ‘Hotham Hill’, was blessed with large allotments and became home to a number of substantial residences. Locals still enthusiastically refer to this high amenity area as Hotham Hill.
Named after this historical district and set upon a wide, tree-lined street, Hotham Hill is a boutique collection of 10 beautifully composed contemporary residences defined by timeless luxury, quality craftsmanship, sustainable biophilic design, green spaces and a sense of community.

Characterised by beautiful details and soft materials, the generous bedroom suites nurture rest and relaxation.

In selected residences, natural wooden tones form a glorious master walk-in wardrobe, allowing you to complete your morning and evening routines with effortless ease.
Environmentally Sustainable Design
Solar Energy
The building features over 20kw of solar panels connected to a cutting-edge SolShare system to deliver solar power and lower energy bills to each residence whilst helping the environment.
Energy Efficient
Orientation, insulation and environmentally intelligent design combine to retain heat in winter and stay cool in summer. Energy ratings of up to 8.4 stars means Hotham Hill residences use ~90% less energy than a typical uninsulated house built in 1990. All residences feature dual aspects for cross ventilation.
Biophilic Design
Naturally ventilated lobbies with leafy plantings and large landscaped gardens give a sense of openness. Select residences feature views towards rich tree canopies and Royal Park.
Water
Rainwater is harvested in a common water tank located under the basement floor. Captured rainwater is then re-used for garden irrigation along with toilet cistern flushing to reduce water use. Water efficient appliances, tapware and sanitary fixtures are specified throughout.
Double Glazing
All residences feature double glazing throughout. Designed with two panes of glass with an air pocket in between, these windows provide a higher level of thermal comfort and acoustic performance.
Smart, Efficient Appliances & Fittings
Energy efficient appliances, high performance LED lighting, and modern, resource-conserving fixtures and fittings save energy and water, contributing to lower bills and reduced carbon emissions.
Building Features
Parking & Garage
The secure basement houses at-grade car spaces and storage. Selected residences also feature a lockup double garage. Unlike other residences, there are no car stackers or car lifts.

Accessibility
Gently sloping pathways, lift access and wide corridors allow access to residents and visitors of all abilities.
Beautiful Landscaping
Landscaped entrances, large private gardens and generous balconies surround the building, and feature a tailored blend of hearty and native planting that is easy to maintain and verdant all year round.

Royal Park offers facilities for tennis, football, hockey, golf and cricket, whilst playgrounds and the Melbourne Zoo offer a haven for children.
