The Europa, on Alma Rd, will be home to about 120 premium apartments over five storeys and managed by Bolton Clarke.

Mr Mantis said the location, near Alma Park, offered the “best of urban and bayside living”.

“Savvy purchasers know that the St Kilda market is a great investment, plus there’s no stamp duty, no council rates and fixed service fees for life, making buying in to the development now a very enticing proposition,” he said.

Apartments, which start at $480,000, will be ready to move into by spring 2021.
