Live Now at Highett Common: Completed Bayside Apartments with Move-In Packages Up to $70,000
May 2026
The morning light hits differently when there's nothing between you and a brand new park right outside your bedroom window.
No imagining what it might look like one day. The apartments are finished. The parkland is green and growing. The neighbours are already walking their dogs across the lush green lawns. These are homes ready for you to turn the key and start living.
This is what it means to live at Highett Common. Not a concept you have to imagine, but a finished reality you can walk through this weekend, with sunlight already streaming across the herringbone floors and views framed by floor-to-ceiling glass.
Highett Common, the 9.3-hectare masterplanned community in Melbourne's Bayside developed by Sunkin, offers this and more with completed 2- and 3-bedroom apartments in Park House and North Lane available to move into immediately.
For a limited time, new residents will receive access to exclusive packages complete with furniture, artwork and an appliance package valued between $45,000 and $70,000. No construction timeline. No off-the-plan wait. Keys in hand, life ready to go.
What's Included in the Highett Common Move-in Packages?
What sets these completed apartments apart from a standard finished stock offering is the move-in package that comes with each one.
Sunkin has partnered with Coco Republic and Dolce Dominique to create curated packages that transform an empty apartment into a styled, fully considered home from the moment you collect your keys.
For 2-bedroom apartments, the package is valued at $45,000 and includes a custom-designed Coco Republic furnishing and styling package, a bespoke Dolce Dominique artwork collection, blinds and sheer curtains fitted to all windows and doors, and a premium appliance suite.
For 3-bedroom apartments the package is valued at $70,000, scaling up across all four inclusions with larger furnishing and artwork selections to match the additional space.
It's the kind of detail that removes every friction point between purchase and actually living in your home. No weekends lost to furniture showrooms or questions on what to choose. No bare walls for the first three months. You walk in and it feels like yours.
"We approached these residences the way we'd approach a private client brief," says Rohan from Coco Republic. "Each package has been tailored to the proportions and orientation of the apartments at Highett Common, the furniture selections, the textiles, the placement. It's not a cookie-cutter styling job. These are considered interiors designed to feel personal from day one."
Dom from Dolce Dominique brings that same philosophy to the artwork packages.
"Art changes the way a room breathes. We've curated pieces that respond to the natural light and the leafy outlook these apartments have, work that feels connected to the Bayside environment rather than dropped in from a catalogue. Residents are going to walk in and feel something."
Each move-in package at Highett Common includes a premium appliance suite covering the kitchen, laundry and daily essentials:
- a Haier 431L fridge with built-in water dispenser,
- a Bosch 9kg washing machine paired with a 9kg heat pump dryer,
- a Smeg toaster and kettle set,
- a Breville Barista Pro coffee machine, and
- a Dyson Ai Spot & Scrub robotic vacuum
These aren't token additions. They're the appliances you'd choose yourself, already installed, already waiting. The Breville Barista Pro is for anyone whose morning doesn't properly begin until the first espresso. The Dyson robotic vacuum is for anyone who doesn't want to spend their first weekend in a new home pushing a vacuum cleaner around.
Where is Highett Common and What Does the Precinct Include?
Highett Common sits nestled in Highett, adjacent to some of Melbourne’s most premier Bayside suburbs, approximately 17 kilometres southeast of the CBD.
The precinct was masterplanned by Tract Consultants and architecturally led by Clarke Hopkins Clarke, spanning parks, trails, a conservation reserve, community gardens, a new Highett library and a connected series of pedestrian laneways called The Mews that stitch the neighbourhoods together.
Over 40% of the 9.3-hectare site is dedicated to public green space, offering an abundance of lush lawns and walking trails, enveloped by native foliage.
Residents will soon have access to a private amenity suite that includes an indoor pool, a fully equipped gym, wellness and yoga spaces, private dining rooms and lounge areas, as the project’s next stage, The Mews Collection, nears completion.
Owners corporation partner Essential manages community engagement and building operations, while the Highett Common Connect digital platform keeps residents linked to amenity bookings, local business directories, social clubs and building management updates.
Highett Common is targeting Net Zero Carbon status, making it the first medium-density community in Victoria to achieve this. Sustainability is central to the community, with residences achieving an average 8-star NatHERS energy rating.
All-electric homes, provision for rooftop solar panels, rainwater harvesting for landscaping, EV charging infrastructure and a walkable precinct design that places Highett train station and local retail within easy reach.
It's a model for what new residential communities look like when environmental responsibility is built into the design from the ground up.
Upcoming Events and Activations at Highett Common
Sunkin is building a calendar of exclusive events and activations designed to bring buyers, residents and the broader Bayside community into the precinct to experience life at Highett Common firsthand.
Curated evenings with design partners, intimate gatherings in the completed residences, and activations that celebrate the Bayside lifestyle and the creative collaborators behind the project. Details are being finalised, and they'll be worth showing up for.

The Reality of Ready
There's a particular feeling that comes with walking into a completed home within a rapidly progressing precinct. The park is already there. The coffee machine is already on the bench. Resort-style amenities are just around the corner, backed by what you can see and feel already.
You don't have to project forward or fill in the gaps with optimism. You just have to decide if this is where your next chapter starts.
