Tekna, Essendon

Project Description

LOCATION

Quintessentially Essendon, Tekna's 30 one and two bedroom residences are built for greatness. Optimally located in the epicentre of Essendon, this series of refined apartments is encompassed by an enviable collection of cafes, restaurants, retailers, services, parklands and educational institutions, all of which contribute to this exciting and proudly connected community.

THAT'S MAKE FOR LIVING

A contemporary building offering sleek and sophisticated forms, Tekna features articulated facades incorporating a variety of fenestration elements and individual glazed balconies in combination with a selection of architectural projections and linear elements. The project introduces a bold, fresh energy to Essendon, crafted with a selection of modern, sustainable, and practical external finishes, which collectively work in harmony to present an uncompromising air of quality.

ELEGANT YET EQUALLY CONVENIENT SETTINGS

There is something satisfyingly serene that comes with a lack of clutter. Tekna’s bathrooms are created in line with the philosophy that less is really more. White, bright and lively spaces are designed to make the process of getting ready for the day and unwinding following a long one both simple and effortless, featuring smartly integrated storage spaces. Similarly, Tekna’s bedrooms are formed with layers of materials and fabrics that align with the theme of comfort. A neutral yet warm colour palette anchors the bedroom in an all-encompassing sense of tranquillity, to create a setting of ultimate rejuvenation.

EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT AND NEED, AND MORE

Make home a mere 11km away from the vibrancy of Melbourne’s city centre. Tekna is centrally located with the hubs of Buckley St [40m] and Mt Alexander Rd [260m] on its doorstep. With Essendon Station [50m] within such close reach, residents are able to travel to every corner of the city with great ease, not that there’s much reason to leave – everything you could ask for is within Tekna’s surroundings. 

KNOW YOUR SURROUNDING

Essendon stands as a gleeful domain ready to serve for any day one sets out to have. A Saturday or Sunday may involve a relaxed brunch at one of the suburb’s endless number of cafes, a few hours spent exploring the Maribyrnong River on a bike, or finding natural rejuvenation at one of the area’s many, perfectly preened parklands. 

A DINING LANDSCAPE THAT HAS AVID EATERS FLOCKING FROM ALL AROUND THE CITY

Essendon’s streets play host to a competitive collective of cafes, and sometimes, it can be rather tricky trying to choose just one to visit. St Rose [170m] is right by the train station, ready to send off or greet travellers with a cup of brilliantly brewed coffee and a delectable pastry. Ten One Ate’s [850m] dishes so prettily picturesque, you may feel bad sticking your fork into them. Breakfast knows no limits at St Martha’s [120m], which is served all day, every day, while Parisian Patisserie Boulangerie (1.6km) whips up perfect éclairs and mouth-watering baguettes to transport you to the streets of Paris.

ESSENDON SHOPPING & GROCERS

At the heart of Essendon’s shopping scene is LaManna Supermarket [5km], which has people travelling far and wide for its vast and unique range of provisions. It is simply described as a foodie wonderland, housing fresh produce, a butcher, deli, fishmonger, bakery, patisserie, imported goods, a liquor store and a cafe all under the one roof. Tekna residents also have fortunate access to the onestop shopping spot that is DFO Essendon [3.3km]. With hundreds of brands at up to 90% off, it is all too tempting knowing you can make a sneaky trip around the corner. From sporting apparel giants to luxury labels from all around the globe, DFO caters to shopaholics of all tastes.

ESSENDON PUBLIC AMENITIES & SERVICES

Tekna is among a land of green pockets and palm trees aplenty. If your soul seeks natural retreat, or to enjoy some time with loved ones out in the open, head to Queens Park [1km], Lincoln Park [1.2km] or Woodlands Historic Park [1.6km]. The project’s surroundings are no stranger to premium schools, while a wide array of public transport routes are present to whisk you wherever you need to be, when you need to depart. Abundant with a sensational collection of amenities, this slice of the city is tailored for easy living.
