A project four years in the making, a suite of industry heavy weights are credited with bringing this game changing property to life.

Developed by Yarra Hotel Group and operated by Oakwood; built by Hamilton Marino with architecture by CHT and interiors by SORA Interior Architecture + Design, Harvey Norman Commercial Victoria drew on its strength of supply chain and supply partnerships with Phoenix, Caroma, Franke, Fisher & Paykel and Phillips to ensure it delivered on Yarra Hotel Group’s vision to offer world class in-room appliance, sanitary ware and technology.

“In our business, relationships are everything. Particularly at a time when global supply lines are being squeezed, strength of supply chain and being able to work collaboratively with supply partners is crucial to delivering product in full and on time. And that’s exactly what we achieved with this project,” Harvey Norman Commercial Victoria’s general manager of plumbing Steve Zavalas says.

“We’re really proud of our team and supply partners. There are a lot of moving parts to consider with a supply project of this magnitude, especially when coordinating product across multiple categories which Oakwood Premier Melbourne required, including sanitary ware, appliances and tech.”

“This is where our strength lies, first-class product offering and fulfilment.”

Featuring modern appliances, Oakwood Premier Melbourne studio apartments offer fully equipped kitchens complete with Fisher & Paykel two zone induction cooktop, six function 60cm oven and combination WashSmart washer dryer.

Also included are microwave, full-sized fridge, Nespresso café machine and dishwasher for an effortless living experience.  

Additionally each apartment is fitted with a Phillips 4K 55” Smart Hospitality IPTV Mediasuite.

It was a recommendation Harvey Norman Commercial Victoria made after extensive investigation working in collaboration with Yarra Hotel Group’s AV consultant, finding the units a clear standout based on energy efficiency and ease of use for guests.

A nice touch of added luxury, guests can look forward to the use of a Phillips Soundbar speaker systems for crisp and clear audio.

The sleek finishes continue into the bathroom with the specification of statement high shine chrome tapware by Phoenix. Guests can relax and recharge under a generous rain shower.
