Napier Street Two Two Seven
A project shaped by European sensibilities and translated for Melbourne, it brings a calm, timeless presence to one of the city’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
Positioned at the Gertrude Street end of Napier Street, moments from the CBD, ten residences sit within what is widely regarded as the world’s most liveable city’s most liveable suburb. Life here moves between quiet backstreets and the energy of Fitzroy’s dining, culture and daily rituals: breakfast at Lune, afternoons in Carlton Gardens, dinner at Cutler & Co or Marion, and live jazz at Collingwood Yards.
Inside, two- and three-bedroom homes that offer generous floor plans, high ceilings and full height windows. Finishes draw from the refinement of timeless Haussmann interiors, reimagined for a contemporary Melbourne lifestyle. Natural light, airflow and a tonal palette create an uplifting, enduring foundation.
ns227 is designed for owner occupiers who want a sense of retreat without stepping away from the city’s momentum.
Construction is underway with completion due in 2026, led by Krongold, who are renowned for delivering some of Melbourne’s most prestigious homes.

Occupying the entire top level of a residential building with just ten owner-occupied apartments, this 321sqm penthouse offers rare scale, privacy, and flexibility in one of Melbourne’s most walkable inner-city neighbourhoods.
Designed in collaboration with Warren and Mahoney, the JMSN developed residence features a rectangular floorplate that supports a highly efficient layout.
Full-height glazing across both east and west facades, along with a central lightwell, delivers natural light and cross-ventilation throughout.
The home includes two distinct living wings, each opening to outdoor terraces or balconies, and a chef’s kitchen with oversized island and generous butler’s pantry. Finishes are refined and enduring, with scope for personalisation while construction is underway.
A private rooftop terrace, exclusive to this residence, offers panoramic views across Fitzroy and toward the city skyline.
With nine of ten residences already secured by owner-occupiers, this final release offers the last opportunity to tailor layout and finishes before completion.
Architecture & Landscape
Ten home size residences designed to harmonise between the classic and the contemporary – every architectural detail contributes to ns227’s story of place and culture. Surrounding a central courtyard garden and tranquil water feature, each apartment optimises natural light and airflow. Drawing inspiration from the form, flow and graceful lines of Georgian architecture, textured brick elements and Juliette balconies contrast with modern concrete lintels and a distinctive curved entranceway; the blend of old and new encapsulating Fitzroy’s unique vernacular.
Interiors
ns227’s two- and three-bedroom apartments showcase spacious floor plans with carefully curated finishes that create welcoming homes; reimaging Haussmann interiors to suit a modern Melbourne lifestyle. Each apartment unfolds as a carefully considered sequence of rooms, optimising natural light and courtyard airflow to cultivate an uplifting atmosphere. The refined interior scheme introduces a tonal palette, establishing a neutral yet timelessly elegant foundation.
Combining visual appeal with practicality, each kitchen is crafted to prioritise functionality, comfort, and seamless traffic flow. Operating as a sculptural centrepiece within the home, the generous benchtop spaces are adorned with natural stone, offering abundant room for food preparation and display. The added convenience of a butler’s pantry and ample cupboard space, storage is easily managed, while state-of-the-art Miele appliances provide assurance. Designed with a focus on livability, hospitality and entertainment ensures that residents can effortlessly host and cater to guests.
Locality
At the doorstep of Melbourne’s CBD, Fitzroy exudes its own unique sense of community and connection. Locals indulge in an eclectic mix of dining, entertainment and leisure experiences, from breakfast at Lune Croissanterie, to afternoons in Carlton Gardens and evenings of live jazz at Collingwood Yards. Napier Street, filled with forward-thinking residents and surrounded by the timeless charm of Fitzroy’s Victorian-era houses, engages in a unique dialogue between past and present.
The street, with nearby modern eateries and free from through-traffic, creates an intimate neighbourhood atmosphere amid the vibrancy of Gertrude, Brunswick and Smith Streets. Tucked next to Whitlam Place Park and the Fitzroy Town Hall, ns227 residents enjoy the best of Melbourne’s inner-north, with convenient access to public transport and a common bike route, or simply a short walk to local haunts such as Napier Quarter, Marion and The Napier Hotel.
