Retire, Rent, or Relocate? YarraBend Lets You Do All 3

What if five years from now…

Someone else is living in the exact Melbourne property you could’ve owned for under $1.5M… And that same property? It is now worth $2MFully paid for by their tenant.

Would you be kicking yourself?

Because that’s exactly what’s unfolding at
YarraBend today.

And you're still early—if you move
now.


YarraBend: Melbourne’s Most Visionary Master-Planned Community

Location: Just 6.5 km from Melbourne CBD
Commute: Only 15 minutes by train from Alphington Station
Balance: City convenience + riverside calm + direct access to Yarra trails

This is not just a development—it's a lifestyle and long-term investment magnet.

Surrounded by top schools (
Alphington Grammar, Ivanhoe Grammar) and minutes to the Eastern Freeway, it’s a premium address families, professionals, and retirees are already eyeing in 2025.

Powered by Legacy: Glenvill Developments

With over 65 years of property innovation
, Glenvill has reimagined the historic Amcor paper mill into a bold 16.5-hectare riverside vision.

The result? A community designed to thrive for decades.

If you care about the future and your investment, this is where you want to be.


A Community You’ll Be Proud to Call Home

Let’s be real—most “developments” these days feel the same. Cold. Generic. Built to sell, not to live in.

YarraBend? It’s different.

It’s a thriving, self-sustaining community designed to grow with you. With around 2,500 residences planned, this “mini-suburb” offers a rare blend of urban convenience and riverside serenity that few developments can match.

You’ll find everything you need just steps away, like the new Alphington Village Shopping Centre, cafe's like Decca, Zero95, and award-winning restaurants.

And the best part? This area’s only getting better. With the 
Chandler Highway bridge widened and public transport links expanding, accessibility is unbeatable—values are only going up.

Think Long Term: Melbourne’s Most Liveable Suburb Won’t Stay This Affordable


You’ve probably seen the hype in Brisbane, Perth, even Geelong. But those markets don’t have this combination:


✔️ Prime inner-city proximity

✔️ Global sustainability leadership

✔️ Award-winning architecture

✔️ Fully master-planned infrastructure

✔️ Tight, rising inventory


This is real land, real capital appreciation, and real lifestyle value.
