A historic boulevard 

437 sits on one of Melbourne’s most famous streets, the iconic St Kilda Road. 

“This address places residents directly on Fawkner Park, with immediate access to the Arts Precinct, the CBD, and South Yarra,” says Mr Pozzo. 

“It offers walkable amenity, green outlooks, and the sophistication of one of Melbourne’s most enduring boulevards.”

Cbus Property collaborated with architects Bates Smart to design residences that embrace St Kilda Road’s character and charm.

Jeff Copolov, interior design director at Bates Smart, shares that St Kilda Road has a long history of being the site of grand houses and residences, with the sleek exterior of 437 drawing on that heritage.

“We were particularly inspired by the streamlined mid-century modernist feel,” he explains, pointing to the curved, continuous windows that wrap around the building.  

These allow residents to enjoy uninterrupted views of St Kilda Road, the park, and the Shrine of Remembrance vista.

Prominently situated on the corner of St Kilda Road and the quiet cul-de-sac of Slater Street, the residences at 437 offers privacy and a close connection to the park’s natural beauty.

Expert, experienced team 

The fourth Melbourne residential project by Cbus Property in partnership with Bates Smart, 437 is a testament to the developer’s expertise and legacy. 

“Cbus Property has built a strong reputation delivering quality residential projects in Melbourne,” says Mr Pozzo. 

“We understand the market well and work with many long-standing partners, including architect firms like Bates Smart and renowned landscape architects like Barber.

“These firms align with our ambition to create outstanding homes, designed with residents in mind at every step.” 

Mr Copolov also highlights the unique strength that his team brings to be the project by being both the designers and architects. 

“We’re fortunate enough to be the architect and the interior designer and that’s quite an important thing,” he says. 

“It means we approach the design holistically, where the interior drives the architecture and the architecture drives the interior.” 

With this approach ensures that the building’s exterior and each individual residence is thoughtfully crafted to maximise space, liveability and privacy.

By designing the interiors and exteriors together, architects Bates Smart has crafted a space that perfectly blends indoor and outdoor.

Timeless tailor-made design 

Drawing on their decades of experience, Mr Copolov explains that the design and style of each residence is timeless and considered. 

“We always take an approach that is beautiful but restrained and classical with beautiful materiality,” he says. 

Each apartment, especially the three-bedroom, half- and full-floor residences, offer expansive layouts that allow for the scale and functionality of a stand-alone home. 

The interiors can also be tailored for each buyer, with base colour palettes to choose from that can be then customised further. 

“We put together three specific schemes that all work beautifully as a standalone, but if you pick them very carefully you could swap every element over,” Mr Copolov explains. 

“While there are some suggested combinations, because some buyers will just want that, you can in fact swap and change elements and they will all work together.” 

This means elements like the metal used in the tapware and door handles from one palette, can be combined with the stone finishes of another for a high degree of personalisation. 

Mr Copolov also explains that beyond colour palettes and materials, buyers are invited to personalise their homes through bespoke joinery selections, with options such as sculptural stone bar units, integrated wine fridges, custom bookcases, and tailored study desks—each element thoughtfully crafted to elevate both form and function.

The attention to detail goes far beyond the residences themselves, with Mr Copolov noting that the team included an art consultant who helped curate the collection on display throughout the building. 

This is just one of the content partnerships that underscores 437 and shows residents the best of what the incredible precinct has to offer.

The right move for right-sizers 

With its historic location and considered design, the residences at 437 are attracting interest from discerning buyers who are looking to ‘right-size’ instead of just downsize. 

“Right-sizers want generous spaces, efficient layouts, quality finishes, and peace of mind—and that’s exactly what we are delivering,” says Mr Pozzo. 

“These are sophisticated homes built for comfort and ease, designed around how people want to live today.” 

Part of what makes the building so appealing to right-sizers is the range of amenities on offer that allow them to take full advantage of their luxury address. 

“437 St Kilda Road’s amenities are designed with real-life use in mind: a 25-metre heated pool, dry sauna, steam room and equipped gymnasium, private dining space, and concierge services, all tailored to an owner-occupier lifestyle,” says Mr Pozzo.

Mr Copolov highlights the communal entertaining spaces, like the level 8 rooftop garden terrace overlooking Fawkner Park, as just one of the amenities that adds to this luxury way of living. 

“There is a beautiful residents’ lounge and a high-quality domestic kitchen.

“Residents can either self-cater or get caterers in if they want to have a dinner party for a larger number than you could fit in your apartment,” he says.

“The incredible amenities that are beyond your apartment are going to add enormously to your lifestyle.”

437 St Kilda Road offers buyers a historic Melbourne address and a personalised residence that offers the best in both luxury design and urban lifestyle.

With the backing of a trusted, seasoned developer like Cbus Property, 437 St Kilda Road is an opportunity not to be missed.
