PROLIFIC developer Gurner and Liberman family-backed joint venture partner City Harbour have unveiled plans for a “futuristic wellness and anti-ageing utopia” within their $1.7 billion Docklands project.
To be developed on a 27,000 sqm site, the first stage of Elysium Fields includes three towers totalling 640 dwellings, and purchasers “will have access to some of the world’s most advanced anti-ageing, holistic health and nature-based wellness principles within a city forest and landscape oasis,” Gurner said.
“At Elysium Fields, residents will have access to advanced anti-ageing protocols and equipment like cryotherapy, IV infusions, dry and infrared sauna, red light therapy, grounding and PEMF beds, alongside access to visit the Elysian Reverse Ageing Medical Clinic that will provide medical-grade treatments including MRIs, DEXA scans, brain scans, blood testing and personalised health plans.”
Residents will also gain access to a new venue of Gurner Group’s sold out Saint Haven club that will be the largest in the group’s portfolio at circa 5,000 sqm, and a Haven Ancient Baths concept, also by Gurner, that will offer 15 different types of enriched water. The bathhouse will be one of the world’s largest.
Designed by Fraser & Partners, the first stage will also include 3,700 sqm of public landscapes and gardens “inspired by the verdant buildings of Singapore that meld the built form with abundant greenery”, and a landscaped pedestrian-focused “path of life” that designed for running, Yoga, meditation, training, and exercise, alongside a rooftop sports court, a private wellness club, a pool club and 5,000 sqm of retail, dining and public realm amenity.
On completion, the entire development will include over 1,350 build-to-rent and build-to-sell apartments, a retail and hospitality precinct, 4-star short-stay hotel of circa 100 keys and 5-star hotel in the main tower of over 250 keys, with conference facilities, business club and hospitality offerings.
“The team prioritised a private community look and feel to create a self-contained biosphere-like design – the likes of which has previously only been seen in sci-fi movies – that will instil a sense of true tranquillity, making residents feel like they could by anywhere in the world as they enter the pristine, futuristic and inspiring oasis in the heart of Docklands,” Gurner said.
Gurner bought into the project in October 2022.
The plans are now with Victorian Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny.
