Glenvill Developments Unveils YarraBend’s Most Opulent Penthouses

Every design decision – from layout to materiality – reflects a resident-first mindset, with a clear emphasis on wellbeing, comfort and longevity.

With a 67-year legacy of delivering exceptional, design-driven residences, Glenvill brings both architectural integrity and practical foresight to every element of the prestigious YarraBend neighbourhood, a community which features heritage homes, townhouses, residences and apartments across 14 hectares. The Signature Club penthouses are the culmination of that vision – crafted for those seeking refined finishes, panoramic views and a lifestyle experience that begins at home and extends into an unmatched suite of amenities.

Expansive in scale and generous in intent, the residences offer large internal footprints, rooftop terraces and floor plans defined by multiple living zones. The interiors have been shaped to create a calm and composed sanctuary for residents, achieved through clean lines, crafted detailing and thoughtful spatial planning. Each floor plan balances open entertainment spaces with quiet bedroom retreats, with considered joinery that enhances functionality and flow. Every decision – from layout to materiality – reflects a resident-first mindset, with a clear emphasis on wellbeing, comfort and longevity.

Light-filled living zones open to vast private terraces with views that extend across the Melbourne skyline and towards the Dandenong Ranges.

The material palette carries a tactile warmth: travertine, fluted glass, warm timber and brushed brass create a dialogue between durability and softness. Inspired by the Australian landscape, these rich, layered treatments lend a sense of calm and quiet luxury to each residence. In every home, a sculptural island in natural quartzite becomes a focal point, both an entertainer’s centrepiece and a sculptural statement.

The master suite has been designed as a luxurious retreat, where natural light bathes the room through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. In a soft, neutral palette, this serene space creates the ideal environment for both relaxation and rejuvenation. The accompanying walk-in robe, with its custom shelving and central island, adds a touch of five-star-hotel elegance. In the ensuite, natural stone surfaces and subtle brass accents offer a sanctuary for daily rituals, complete with dual vanities, an oversized shower and a freestanding bath.

Residents enjoy exclusive access to YarraBend’s Signature Club, a curated suite of services designed to extend the comforts of home into every aspect of daily life.

Beyond the architecture and interior design, the broader lifestyle experience further sets the penthouses apart.

Set on the banks of the Yarra and just 6.5 kilometres from the CBD, YarraBend offers a unique blend of calm and connectivity, with Alphington Station nearby and a network of private schools and green spaces close at hand. The landscaping, designed to evolve with the seasons, complements this balance, embracing clean detailing and stylistic wildness that envelops the building.

Here, the idea of home expands far beyond the front door: into rooftop gardens and private pools, across dining and wellness destinations, and into a broader sense of everyday ease. Currently under construction and due for completion in September, the penthouses bring a rare combination of certainty, lifestyle and architectural calibre to the market.
