Introduction
Fruits of our labour
A sense of place

In South Yarra’s highly sought-after Caroline Gardens precinct, Ralston subtly redefines the area’s typical apartment options by embracing the site’s heritage, blending old and new into a low-rise form that respects its leafy surrounds. Completed in late 2016, this premium project comprises 53 apartments, four townhouses, and ground-floor retail space. But it’s the attention to detail and scale that truly sets it apart. Located just 500 metres from South Yarra Station, this project offers generous proportions that are increasingly rare in contemporary Melbourne – apartments ranging from 49 to 189 square metres across one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations. Ralston is a boutique collection of homes that understands South Yarra’s established character while delivering on contemporary comfort.

Fruits of our labour

As one of Melbourne’s most accomplished residential architects, Elenberg Fraser Architects has respected the scale and surrounding environment of Ralston, extending the architectural language of the historic streetscape, designing a subtle translation from old to new forms.

“Seeded through South Yarra are buildings with ‘personalities’ based on their form and composition – on their cadence you might say. Central to our proposition for this development has been the need to renovate the original fabric while exploring its architectural detail to inform a new architectural statement.”

Callum Fraser, Founding Director, Fraser and Partners

A sense of place

Located within the coveted Domain district, Ralston sits at the intersection of the tranquil Caroline Gardens and the cosmopolitan energy of Toorak Road. Within walking distance, the Royal Botanic Gardens unfold across 38 hectares of manicured landscapes and winding pathways, while Fawkner Park offers additional green space for weekend markets and impromptu picnics. Chapel Street’s retail experience runs parallel to this, while boutique galleries share real estate with heritage bookstores and cafés that have been perfecting their brews for decades. With close proximity to St Kilda Road’s cultural corridor – home to the Arts Centre and NGV – residents can walk to world-class exhibitions and then head home via the tree-lined streets dotted with beautiful Victorian terraces. This layering of culture, convenience, and character continues to draw Melbourne’s creatives and professionals to experience this truly unique pocket of the city.
