Victoria
LIV Munro is a landmark build-to-rent development designed to foster a strong sense of community by offering residents new ways to live, work and play within Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market precinct.
It is the first stage of the broader Munro development by the City of Melbourne, incorporating community spaces, hotel, affordable housing, city library and activated laneways.
The cylindrical tower’s 490 apartments are designed exclusively for renters, with a mix of housing stock and shared amenity to appeal to different demographics.
An interface between the market and the city, LIV Munro draws on the energy and vitality of the area’s heritage architecture and fine-grained spaces. The building’s brick and concrete detailing respects the traditional language of the market shopfronts, with active frontages in dialogue with public spaces and multiple pedestrian linkages introduced throughout the site.
At LIV, we are setting a new standard of living for renters. We believe the good life is lived at the heart of a thriving community. Where residents are inspired to connect with a diverse group of people to build community where they live.
In designing LIV Munro, Bates Smart met our vision through shared spaces including expansive living and socialising areas, co-working zones and wellness retreats. Personal apartments bathed in light and facilities designed to make life easier.
With sustainability at the core, LIV Munro sits harmoniously amongst weaving alleyways while delivering its absolute focus on community.
