Nestled in the heart of Richmond, Ardency Kennedy Place is a lavish apartment precinct that offers everything from resort-style amenities and community to beautiful, liveable homes.
State of the art

A 55+ community in the heart of iconic Richmond.
“It has a stunning 210sqm rooftop terrace with uninterrupted city views and a double-height lobby and arrival lounge reminiscent of a 5-star luxury hotel,” he says.
All the interior communal spaces have been styled with Coco Republic furniture, adding class and luxury.
The exterior is a beautiful display of red brick that seamlessly integrates with the heritage buildings in the area, boosting the “historic charm,” Cockerill adds.
“The development also pays homage to the site’s history with its naming after Australian comedic icon Graham Kennedy and the inclusion of the Wertheim baby grand piano on level eight, adding a unique and historical touch to the luxurious environment,” he says.
To top it off, the surrounding streets are quiet and tree-lined, creating a relaxing outlook for each individual residence.
Buyers can even cash in with a $10K rebate offer and complimentary Miele appliances package.
The refined and luxurious homes are low maintenance but have all the creature comforts.
A lifestyle choice
Richmond, an inner-city hub iconic for its creative and cultural spaces, offers residents of Ardency Kennedy Place the perfect location to optimise lifestyle and embrace a vibrant, full life.
With today’s over-50s demographic focused on wellbeing and lifestyle, the amenities at Ardency Kennedy Place have been carefully curated with this in mind.
Residents can exercise, socialise or simply relax in a spacious indoor pool and wellness centre, which includes a hair and beauty salon and consulting suites for visiting allied health professionals.
The central alfresco courtyard provides a welcoming space to hang out, while the library offers a quiet retreat.
The incredible spaces allow residents to relax and enjoy life while taking in the best of Melbourne’s culture.
Numerous function and activity spaces such as the 30-seat cinema are also available, all designed to encourage connection among residents.
“The Kennedy Club resident lounge, with breathtaking views of Melbourne city, features a fireplace, billiards table, in addition to the baby grand piano, offering a cosy and entertaining environment,” Cockerill explains.
There is also a rooftop terrace, communal vegetable and herb garden where residents can bond over their love of gardening.
“The whole community fosters close-knit relationships among neighbours, supported by a dedicated management team and staff,” Cockerill says.
Additionally, a 12-hour daily hotel-style concierge service ensures residents have assistance with their needs throughout the day, such as booking theatre tickets or organising a car to the airport.
An on-site Health and Wellbeing coordinator offers an evidence-based program that incorporates the six pillars of well-being: physical, emotional, social, financial, cognitive, and spiritual.
The amenities allow residents to spend more time focusing on wellness and relaxation.
Cockerill adds that the location means residents remain connected to the Melbourne lifestyle.
“The CBD is just four kilometres away, making it easy for residents to enjoy city amenities,” he says.
“The Yarra River and its beautiful riverside walks are nearby.”
Bridge Road, Swan Street trams, and Burnley Station are within walking distance and provide excellent public transport options.
“This helps residents maintain their independence and allows them to stay close to family, friends, and their existing social and support networks.”
The homes encourage connection with loved ones while also fostering brand new friendships.
Beautiful homes
Given the offering, many apartments and penthouses in this gem of a community have already been snapped up, but there are some remaining residences, including architecturally designed two- and three-bedroom homes, starting from $1,040,000.
“These oversized apartments are designed to be spacious and are flooded with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere,” Cockerill says.
“The interiors feature colour palettes that blend neutral tones with warm textures and luxurious fittings, providing a sophisticated and comfortable living space.”
The homes are open-plan, with connected kitchens, living rooms, and dining areas that flow seamlessly onto large balconies.
With stunning indoor and outdoor spaces, residents get the best of both worlds.
Buyers will also have the most up-to-date Miele appliances, ensuring luxury functionality and style.
The main bedroom is spacious and includes an ensuite and a walk-in robe, offering ample storage and a private retreat.
Even though there is transport nearby, residents won’t have to give up their cars, with each apartment tethered to an undercover car space and a storage cage.
