As our lifestyles keep changing, so does our approach to home design. Multi-generational living, where families of different ages reside under the same roof, is no longer a niche trend but a thoughtful solution to modern lifestyle. Ivanhoe, a suburb known for its leafy streets and classic homes, an innovative apartment development is redefining this concept with elegance, flexibility, and community at its core.
Developed by Salter Brothers in collaboration with architect John Demos and designer Kathy Demos , Candela is a rare find: a collection of spacious, multi-zoned apartments tailored to today’s family lifestyle. Whether you’re downsizing with adult children, a young family looking for a fresh start, or planning ahead for elderly parents, Candela provides an opportunity to live together while still having your own personal space.
Many baby boomers are beginning to trade their large family homes for something more manageable, yet still generous in size and comfort. At Candela, downsizers don’t have to compromise. These dual-level residences feature smart, multi-zone layouts that give adult children their private space while keeping everyone under one roof. For those planning ahead, the option to move before the nest is entirely empty offers flexibility and peace of mind.
For younger families, Candela presents a rare opportunity. Brand new, architecturally designed apartments in Ivanhoe, with a more affordable price point. The flexible floorplans provide space for growing families, complete with integrated study nooks perfect for homework, remote work, or quiet reading.
The Lustre collection of four-bedroom apartments is a standout for families caring for elderly parents or looking to future-proof their home. These loft-style, two-level apartments include a master suite on the ground floor, complete with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe right beside the main living and kitchen area. The step-free access offers comfort for ageing residents. For those who prefer single-level living, Lustre also includes thoughtfully designed one-storey options ideal for young families or downsizers alike.
The one-bedroom Aurora apartments add another layer to the multi-generational lifestyle. These adjacent but independent residences allow grandparents or young adults to live nearby, close enough to stay connected, but with their own elegant sanctuary. With only four of these unique layouts available, they offer a rare blend of proximity and independence in a brand-new development.
Candela is more than just a place to live, it’s purposefully designed to bring people together. The development includes carefully planned commercial spaces to serve both residents and the broader Ivanhoe community, encouraging connection beyond your front door. Residents will also enjoy exclusive access to premium shared amenities, including a private residential lounge and a rooftop terrace, ideal for socialising, relaxing, or taking in the views.
Construction is already underway, with completion anticipated by the end of September 2026. Candela is set to introduce a fresh approach to apartment living in Ivanhoe, offering the best of both worlds. Modern, low-maintenance design with the warmth and flexibility of a true family home.
