A Landmark Residence in the Sky — Sapphire by the Gardens

Enviably positioned on Level 49 of Sapphire by the Gardens, residence 4901 is a once-in-a-lifetime three-bedroom apartment soaring above the city skyline — with panoramic views across the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Carlton Gardens, the Royal Exhibition Building and the Melbourne CBD.

The building is the award-winning collaboration of two of Australia’s most celebrated architectural practices, Cox Architecture and Fender Katsalidis, blending sculptural elegance with world-class craftsmanship. Coexisting alongside the proposed flagship Shangri-La Hotel in the adjoining tower, it represents a significant holding in one of Melbourne’s highest-calibre buildings.

Encompassing 220sqm of internal bespoke luxury, the residence is crafted with opulent marble, timber and metallic finishes throughout its expansive open-plan living space. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw in abundant natural light and frame the Carlton Gardens beyond.

The home is anchored by a large feature show kitchen with island bench and a fully appointed butler’s scullery, both fitted with a full suite of top-of-the-range Miele appliances — perfect for entertaining. Impressive shelving joinery lines the entrance to the living space, where a fireplace sits adjacent to the kitchen, alongside a built-in bar and glass-enclosed wine cellar within the dining area.

The master suite delivers a true sense of retreat, with an opulent, fully appointed ensuite and an expansive walk-in robe. A separate bedroom wing houses the generously sized second and third bedrooms, each with built-in robes and bespoke joinery, ensuring exceptional comfort and privacy for family or guests.

Additional features include:
– Fully appointed central bathroom, powder room and separate laundry
– Integrated heating and cooling
– Intercom entry
– Four undercover, secure car spaces and two spacious storage cages
– 24-hour concierge and grand porte-cochère for a seamless sense of arrival

Residents enjoy privileged access to the an extraordinary collection of world-class amenities including elegant club lounges, private dining rooms, a fully appointed chef’s kitchen, cinema, karaoke and pool rooms. A dedicated Health and Wellness Centre completes the offering with an infinity-edge swimming pool, gymnasium, steam room, sauna and yoga room – crafted to rival the finest luxury hotels.
