Halfway through construction and already drawing interest from investors and owner-occupiers alike, the much-awaited Eastbourne development on Commonwealth Park is turning heads in one of Canberra’s most iconic locations.

The residential development underwent an extensive design and approvals process, which is understandable when you look at where it is.

“Residential buildings within the Parliamentary Triangle are exceptionally rare, especially in the suburb of Parkes,” LJ Hooker Project Marketing managing director Andrew Ligdopoulos says.

“The development’s design took so long because it was carefully drawn up to be in keeping with the style and scope of nearby national landmarks. That design will stand the test of time.”

It is hard to overstate the uniqueness of the position.

Across from Parliament House, just down the avenue from the War Memorial and with the lake right in front, it’s hard to imagine a better position in the city.

“It’s a Canberra postcard and you’d practically have Commonwealth Park as your backyard,” Andrew says.

“Each apartment will have a stunning view to enjoy, whether that be the greenery of the Inner North or water views of the lake.”

The building itself is nothing short of grand, and the one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom and penthouse apartments are truly special.

“Each of the offerings is of above-average size. They’ve got high ceilings as well as quality fittings, timber floors and lots of glass to bring in as much light as possible,” Andrew says.

“Many of the two-bedroom apartments also have a flexible multi-purpose room that would function well as a study or a hobby room. They are quite flexible.”

Expansive windows, open-plan living areas, detailed craftsmanship and finishes make each apartment special, with a focus on light, space and style.

“The inclusions are absolutely top-of-the-line and features like the marble benchtops in the kitchen and the timber floors give the apartments a sense of elegance and personality,” Andrew says.

Those stylistic flourishes pair well with the practical features such as abundant storage, under-tile heating and many of the larger apartments have lock-up garages.

A concierge will also provide support for residents, making everyday living so much simpler.

Eastbourne is more than just a place to rest between workdays, it’s a destination in itself.

“The building itself is proposed to have a high-end wine bar, a restaurant, a sushi bar and a cafe. Residents will be able to come downstairs, have breakfast with a coffee, all without ever having to leave the building,” Andrew says.

Just in case a sushi bar a short lift ride away isn’t enough, the building will also boast significant fitness and wellness assets.

“Eastbourne will have an indoor pool, a spa, a sauna and two separate cardio and weightlifting gyms,” Andrew says.

With a beautiful design that doesn’t betray convenience and liveability, plenty of unique features, and an unbeatable location, Eastbourne is a one-of-a-kind development in Canberra.

To see this stunning development in the flesh, visit the two-bedroom or three-bedroom display apartments at 62 Constitution Avenue, Parkes, open from 11 am to 4 pm daily.

Underwritten by one of Canberra’s most-respected developers, Amalgamated Property Group, investors and owner-occupiers alike can rest assured of the build’s quality.

Completion is anticipated by the end of this year and residents are expected to move in in early 2026.
