THE Sales team ‘moves into’ Luxe
Now that The Warleigh Brighton is complete with gardens, lobbies and apartments reflecting the original vision of the designers, what better way to sell the last few, remaining apartments than from within these stunning surroundings? The sales suite has ‘taken up residence’ in Luxe unit 30.05, giving prospective buyers a personal sense of the quality, luxury and attention to detail they can expect from their own Warleigh Brighton residence. “There’s nothing better than seeing the real thing,” said Sales Manager Matt Bracken, adding that it also gives potential purchasers more time to experience the beauty of The Warleigh Brighton and less time strolling from an off-site sales office. Once visitors have discussed the options available with Matt or David in the sales suite, they are taken to experience the apartments or townhouses they’re interested in for themselves. It’s there that the views reveal themselves and the generous dimensions of the living area can truly be appreciated.
FURNISHED APARTMENTS AVAILABLE BY COCO REPUBLIC Bringing the showcase apartments to life, Richmond’s Coco Republic has provided interior décor advice and furnishing. The Warleigh Brighton residents can also tap into their highly respected design expertise and even engage Coco Republic to provide a complete furnishing package to take your new home to even greater levels of contemporary style and comfort. 2

without the noise, because we’re set in a quiet, leafy neighbourhood… not the main street. Genevieve
Just in time for a warm Brighton summer This Christmas will be extra festive for the Gibsons, AS two of the first residents to move into LUXE at The Warleigh Brighton. Having sold their Hampton home of 32 years, Genevieve and Charles (a born and bred ‘Brightonian’) are getting ready for the move to the modern, low-maintenance luxury of The Warleigh Brighton. As they sit on the deck of what will soon be their own private garden, they’re already busy planning the summer lifestyle that awaits. “We love walking,” says Genevieve enthusiastically. “So we’re looking forward to the morning strolls to the beach or Church Street, before grabbing a coffee and wandering home again.” 3
“But at the same time, all the everyday things are just around the corner” Charles adds. And it’s The Warleigh Brighton’s unique location that first attracted the Gibsons, with the new supermarket, and the cinema, shops, railway station and cafes all just a few minutes walk away. Genevieve sits back in the shade and smiles. “We get the best of both worlds. The convenience of Bay Street, but without the noise, because we’re set in a quiet, leafy neighbourhood… not the main street.”
THE WARLEIGH REVIEW | SPRING / summer 2013
Like all astute homebuyers, the Gibsons looked at a number of suburbs and developments in search of their ideal new home, but agree that nothing matched The Warleigh Brighton for quality, space, ease of purchase and the location. And in their search, they were also surprised to discover that hardly any two-bedroom apartments come with two car spaces, and few sales agents were prepared to work with them to make the buying process easy and hassle-free. “We’re very lucky. Everything just worked out perfectly,” explained Charles. “Our apartment is bigger than almost all the others we looked at – in fact our new kitchen is even bigger than the one we’re leaving. What’s more, we’ve decided to have a complete change and buy all new furnishings as well.” Looking from the private, sunny garden into the generous proportions and superb quality of their new Luxe apartment, the Gibsons know they’ve made the right decision for the next chapter in their active lives, and an excellent investment for the future. 4

THE WARLEIGH REVIEW | SPRING / summer 2013
After 12 months, the hardworking teams of builders and tradespeople, landscapers and gardeners have packed up their tools for the last time, with the first eager residents poised to move in. This is the point that everyone who’s been involved in The Warleigh Brighton has been working towards, and the vision of the designers and developers truly comes to life. “It’s a really exciting time for any developer,” said Andrew Potter, Development Manager for Cbus Property. “It’s when all the planning and hard work pays off as we hand over the keys to the new owners – since it’s for them that we built The Warleigh Brighton.” With just a few finishing touches here and there remaining, Luxe, Domaine and the Residences are now practically complete. The lobbies are free of their protective plastic sheeting and bubble-wrap revealing all their beauty and attention to detail. With almost a quarter of a million dollars invested in the Luxe foyer, it is certainly an impressive sight to greet the Luxe residents as they come and go each day.
The last few prospective buyers can also get a genuine and personal feel for the level of luxury and amenity that they’re buying into, while all the new residents can see for themselves that The Warleigh Brighton lives up to its promise of unmatched quality and style. Together with the buildings, the $1million landscaping is also coming to fruition, as lawns take root, the trees settle in to their garden surroundings and the final pieces of outdoor furniture are set in place. Everyone at The Warleigh Brighton is looking forward to welcoming our first residents just in time for Christmas, and the warm, sunny Bayside summer that’s just around the corner.

THE WARLEIGH REVIEW | SPRING / summer 2013
LUXE - In a class of their own Open sunny living areas, generous balconies, unparalleled storage space, dual carparks, luxury ensuites and a huge 100sqm of floorplan. These are just a handful of the impressive features that await those who snap up the last remaining apartments at the heart of Luxe. Step into these inspiring 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom units and their magnificent dimensions immediately become apparent. The ground level residences open out onto relaxing, private courtyard gardens that effectively expand the entertaining area to embrace true al fresco living. On the upper floors, glass-fronted balconies lend an air of visual freedom whether you’re looking east to the sunrise or west, capturing the deep afternoon sun.
They’re the perfect size for outdoor dining, with space for a full-size barbecue and furniture. These magnificent apartments are not simply about generous proportions and sumptuous finishes however. Look behind the soft-close doors and you’ll be astounded at the amount of storage space built in to the design. Big wardrobes, broad cupboards and your own secure storage room let you live a life free of clutter, but with everything you need close at hand. Peace of mind is paramount, and is delivered through secure video entry and carparking, a six-star energy rating and the knowledge that these apartments represent outstanding value for money. Luxe is the elegant, affordable Brighton address designed for the modern lifestyle.
