Studley Park Residences is developed by Carpe Group, founded in 2016 by Tim Campbell and Stuart Kacir. Carpe is known for delivering high-quality boutique residential projects with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, detail, and enduring design.

To date, Carpe has completed 6 projects, with 4 currently under construction and a further 7 in planning. The Walton, Carpe's previous boutique project in Kew, has been a reference point for buyers considering Studley Park Residences, and testimonials from The Walton purchasers are available on the project website.

KordaMentha Real Estate, the project's investment and development partner, brings over $700 million in combined project experience across Australia and is known for delivering risk-adjusted returns and rigorous development oversight.

Construction is well underway. A major milestone has been achieved, the concrete structure has officially topped out, marking an exciting step forward as the building’s full form begins to take shape. The builder is Sinjen Group, a respected Richmond-based architectural construction firm. Studley Park Residences is the fifth project Carpe Group and Sinjen have built together, following Trentham House (2021), Grandview Brighton (2023), Eaglemont Residences (2024), and The Walton (2024). That depth of shared experience means there are no surprises on site, both parties know exactly how the other works, and buyers benefit from that.

The estimated completion and move-in date is February 2027. Buyers will be kept informed of all major construction milestones throughout the build, and our Settlement Manager Jackie Zandveld is available at any time to answer progress questions.

Yes, there is a display suite located at 175 High Street, Kew. The display is open for walk-ins every Thursday afternoon from 2–3pm. Private appointments are available at any time, simply contact sales agent Sarah Stock on 0418 584 047 to arrange a time.

The display suite is a genuine representation of the finishes, fixtures, and materials you will receive in your completed residence. All specifications are outlined in detail in the contract schedule.

A range of two and three-bedroom residences remain available, across ground floor, first floor, and penthouse levels, with prices from $1,690,000. We recommend contacting our sales team directly for the most current availability, as the project is actively selling.

The project is approximately 1.4km from Kew Junction, around a 3-minute drive or 15 minutes on foot along the tree-lined streets of Kew.

For everyday convenience, High Street Kew is considerably closer, just 700 metres away, and is home to a fantastic selection of cafes, restaurants, and specialty food and wine retailers including Toscano’s. Tram routes 109, 16, and 72 also provide regular connections to the CBD and surrounding suburbs.

The project is immediately adjacent to Studley Park, one of Melbourne's most beloved stretches of bushland along the Yarra River. Yarra Bend Park and Yarra Bend National Park Golf Course are moments away, offering walking trails, cycling paths, and riverfront access that Kew locals have enjoyed for over 160 years.

Other nearby green spaces include Kew Golf Club, Alexandra Gardens, Eglinton Reserve, Darling Gardens, and the Willsmere Park heritage estate. The Studley Park Boathouse, one of Melbourne's most iconic riverside destinations, is accessible by foot.

Kew is exceptionally well-served by independent food and hospitality businesses. Within easy reach of the project you'll find Studley Park Boathouse, Pronto by Via Porta, Miss Kasumi, Frankie Says, Ora Kew, Frank & Harri, and Willo Café, among many others along High Street and Cotham Road.

For shopping, Toscano's of Kew, and the High Street retail precinct are all nearby. Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre provides a larger format retail option a short drive away.

Kew is home to some of Melbourne's most sought-after private and public schools, making it one of the most education-rich postcodes in Victoria.

Within close proximity to Studley Park Residences: Xavier College (Catholic, boys), Trinity Grammar School (Anglican, boys), Methodist Ladies' College (MLC, Kew East), Carey Baptist Grammar School, Preshil, and the Sophia Mundi Steiner School. In the public system, Kew East Primary School is the local school, with access to strong selective and specialist secondary programs.

This depth and diversity of schooling is one of the primary reasons families have put long-term roots down in Kew for generations.

Kew is well-served by public transport. Tram routes 109, 16, and 72 pass through the suburb, connecting to the Melbourne CBD in approximately 15 minutes. Bus routes 302 and 303 also serve the Studley Park Road corridor.

The nearest train stations are Hawthorn and Glenferrie (Burnley line), both a short drive or rideshare away. By car, the CBD is approximately 6km via Bridge Road and Church Street, and the Eastern Freeway provides direct freeway access to the eastern suburbs and Eastlink.

Studley Park Road is one of Kew's most character-filled streets, wide, tree-lined, and unhurried, with a genuine sense of place that few apartment addresses in Melbourne can match. The road transitions from the energy of Kew Junction and High Street into a quieter, more contemplative stretch bordered by established gardens, heritage homes, and the green edge of Yarra Bend.

Residents of the street describe a lifestyle that feels removed from the city without being disconnected from it, morning walks to the Boathouse, weekend golf at Yarra Bend, coffee on High Street, and a 15-minute commute to the CBD when needed. It is a neighbourhood for people who have found exactly what they were looking for.

The interiors are by Edwina Glenn, a Melbourne-based interior architecture practice founded in 2012. Edwina Glenn's design inspiration came from childhood memories of the Yarra River's native flora: the grey-green of eucalypt gums, silver river tea tree, and native wallaby grasses.

The palette is understated, textural, and warm. European oak flooring in plank or chevron pattern, Arabescato Oyster marble benchtops and splashbacks, Astra Walker tapware in brushed platinum, and a choice of green marble or travertine fireplace surrounds in selected apartments. Every material decision was made with longevity and lived-in elegance in mind.

Typical apartments feature Gaggenau’s new Minimalistic series, with a 60cm pyrolytic oven, combi-microwave oven, 90cm flex induction cooktop, canopy rangehood, and fully integrated dishwasher. Fridges are Fisher & Paykel integrated French door models.

Penthouse residences include Gaggenau’s new Expressive series, with a 76cm pyrolytic oven, combi-steam oven, and a 90cm full-surface induction cooktop. Penthouse fridges are fully integrated Liebherr two-door models with internal ice maker, complemented by a built-in Liebherr dual-zone wine cellar.

All kitchens feature Astra Walker pull-out spray mixers in brushed platinum and Franke large stainless steel undermount sinks.

Yes. The finishes presented in the display suite are a true representation of what will be delivered in your completed apartment. All fixtures, fittings, and finishes are clearly specified in the specifications schedule, which forms part of your contract.

In the event of any unavoidable substitution during construction, any replacement will be of equal or greater value, and you will be notified in writing. Carpe Group works exclusively with trusted, high-quality suppliers and trades to ensure consistency between what is shown and what is built.

Some degree of personalisation is available. However, as construction progresses, the opportunities for customisation naturally diminish.

We recommend speaking with the sales team as early as possible if you have specific requirements. Contact Sarah Stock on 0418 584 047 to discuss what may still be possible for available residences.

All property purchases carry some degree of risk — but with Studley Park Residences, a number of structural protections reduce the key concerns buyers typically raise.

Your 10% deposit is held in the vendor’s solicitor’s trust account and cannot be accessed by the developer until settlement. Construction is already underway with Sinjen Group, a builder who has completed four previous projects with Carpe Group, meaning the project is not a paper proposal. Carpe Group has completed six projects and has a verified track record of delivering what they promise. KordaMentha Real Estate, as investment partner, adds a further layer of financial rigour to the project structure.

We encourage all buyers to conduct their own due diligence, seek independent legal advice, and review the Victorian Government's due diligence checklist — linked in the footer of this website.

Your deposit of 10% of the purchase price is held in the vendor's solicitor's secure trust account throughout the construction period. This is a legal requirement under Victorian property law and means the funds are completely protected, they cannot be accessed by the developer, drawn upon for construction costs, or put at risk in any way.

At settlement, the deposit is credited against your purchase price.

Yes, significant stamp duty concessions are available for off-the-plan purchases in Victoria. These concessions are calculated on the value of the land component alone (rather than the completed building), which can result in substantial savings.

Importantly, these concessions reduce as construction progresses, typically by approximately $10,000–$15,000 per month as the build advances. This means buyers who move quickly benefit from the greatest savings. We strongly recommend speaking with a solicitor or conveyancer familiar with Victorian off-the-plan transactions to understand the exact concession applicable to your purchase.

Yes. You will receive regular updates at all major construction milestones, including structural progress, services installation, and the approach to practical completion.

Our dedicated Settlement Manager, Jackie Zandveld, is available to answer questions at any stage of the construction process. You are welcome to reach out at any time.

Your apartment is protected by builder warranties under the Domestic Building Contracts Act, which require all builders and tradespeople to honour implied warranties relating to workmanship, materials, and fitness for purpose. These protections apply for a defined period after completion and provide meaningful recourse in the event of defects.

Additionally, all appliances and fixtures, including Gaggenau, Fisher & Paykel, Liebherr, and Astra Walker, carry their own individual manufacturer warranties.

Carpe Group also invites you to review testimonials from buyers of previous projects, which provide genuine insight into how any issues have been handled and what the post-settlement experience looks like.

Yes. Two-bedroom apartments starting from $1,690,000 offer an entry point into one of Melbourne's most prestigious inner-eastern suburbs, in a building designed to a standard that rewards daily life rather than just weekend entertaining.

The proximity to the CBD (approximately 15 minutes by tram or car), the walkable connection to Kew's cafes and restaurants, and the access to the Yarra River parklands make Studley Park Residences a compelling choice for professionals who want to live well rather than just conveniently.

Yes, investor purchasers are welcome at Studley Park Residences. Kew's strong rental demand, driven by proximity to private schools, the CBD, and Swinburne University, and the quality of the product make it a sound long-term investment proposition.

We recommend speaking with an independent financial advisor and property manager familiar with the inner-eastern Melbourne market to assess the rental yield and capital growth potential for your specific circumstances.

Pet policies are governed by the Owners Corporation rules, which will be provided as part of your pre-purchase documentation. We recommend reviewing the OC rules carefully and raising any specific questions with your solicitor prior to signing.

Please contact the sales team directly if you have specific requirements around pets that you would like clarified before proceeding.

One of the deliberate design decisions at Studley Park Residences was to focus on essential amenities rather than extensive shared facilities. The building includes beautifully landscaped communal gardens, two basement lobbies, secure parking, and building services, but no gym, pool, or concierge, which are typically the largest drivers of high OC fees.

Specific OC levy estimates will be included in the OC documentation provided as part of your contract. We recommend reviewing this with your solicitor and factoring it into your ongoing cost planning.

The project is open for walk-ins every Thursday from 2–3pm at 175 High Street, Kew. No appointment is necessary during this time.

For a private viewing at any other time, please contact Sarah Stock on 0418 584 047 or register your interest on this page and a member of the team will be in touch to arrange a suitable time.

Most new apartment projects in Kew share a similar profile, a capable architect, a reasonable location, a competent builder. What is harder to find is a project where every element of the team has worked together before, where the site itself is genuinely irreplaceable, and where the developer has made deliberate decisions to keep things small.

Thirty-one residences means you will know your neighbours, the building has the feel of a safe and quiet residential address, not a tower block. The site sits on the highest point of Studley Park Road, with Yarra Bend to the north and the CBD skyline to the west, and that outlook cannot be built somewhere else or replicated by another project.

Warren and Mahoney and Edwina Glenn bring a quality of thinking to the design that shows not in the renders but in the finished details, the way light moves through a room, the weight of a door handle, the proportion of a hallway. Carpe Group is a small, hands-on team that has partnered with the same architect, interior design and builder across multiple projects, prioritising quality and getting it right over rapid scale.
