Perth's prestigious Claremont precinct is set to welcome an iconic new residential development that promises to redefine luxury apartment living in one of the city's most sought-after postcodes. Quentin Sq, positioned at the heart of St Quentin Avenue, represents a landmark addition to Claremont's urban landscape.
A New Benchmark in Claremont Living
Strategically located where heritage charm meets modern sophistication, this mixed-use development stands alone as the only current project on the Claremont Quarter side of the rail line. According to House Business Group Managing Director Tom House, "The building stands alone in terms of current projects in Claremont. There are some new projects coming on the southern side of the rail line, however this will be the only one in the market at Claremont Quarter."
The development brings together an impressive team of industry leaders, with Kuraland spearheading the development, Scanlan Architects handling design, and Emerge Associates creating the landscaping. Notably, the project thoughtfully integrates the pre-existing church into its overall design, preserving the area's character while introducing contemporary elegance.
Architectural Inspiration and Design Excellence
The architectural vision for Quentin Sq draws direct inspiration from the nearby Swan River, capturing the fluidity and rhythm of water through sophisticated form, texture, and light manipulation. Mr House elaborated on this unique approach, stating, "These elements are thoughtfully balanced with references to Australia's ancient rocky landscapes, anchoring the architecture in strength, permanence and memory."
The development features a striking sculptural tower complemented by a refined limestone podium that creates a tactile connection to the land. "A nuanced palette inspired by the shimmer of sunlight across the water's surface brings a dynamic quality to the facade," Mr House explained. "A grounding limestone podium forms a tactile connection to the land at its base, embedding the building within Claremont's rich layered history and evolving urban character."
Luxury Residences and World-Class Amenities
Quentin Sq offers an impressive range of residential options, from one to four-bedroom apartments through to an ultra-luxury penthouse, with price points ranging from $670,000 to $22 million. Each residence has been carefully oriented to maximize the breathtaking views of the Swan River, Indian Ocean, Perth city skyline, and surrounding parklands.
The apartments feature premium interiors characterized by thoughtful layouts and high-quality finishes. Key features include:
- Open-plan living, dining and kitchen zones
- Private balconies capturing panoramic views
- Organic colour palettes and natural materials
- European appliances in gourmet kitchens
- Stone surfaces and hardwood floors
- Master bedrooms with wool carpets and walk-in robes
- Opulent ensuites in all master bedrooms
The crown jewel of the development is the remarkable 726sqm penthouse apartment, offering 421sqm of internal space. This extraordinary residence features expansive living areas framed by full-height windows, a gourmet kitchen with natural stone elements and concealed scullery, a grand master chamber with walk-in robe and lavish ensuite, three additional bedrooms each with their own bathrooms, and a large wraparound balcony with multiple entertainment areas and a private pool.
The shared amenities at Quentin Sq are designed to promote wellbeing and community interaction within a tranquil verdant setting. Residents will enjoy access to:
- A 20-metre heated pool with accompanying spa
- Sunbeds and alfresco dining area
- Fully equipped gymnasium and yoga studio
- Sauna and steam rooms
Strong Local Interest and Construction Timeline
The development has already generated significant interest, particularly from local residents. Mr House noted, "The development had seen strong early engagement, which was heavily grounded within Claremont and surrounding suburbs. The larger apartments have been highly sought after by local downsizers, with some of the one and two-bedroom dwellings targeted for [other markets]."
The project timeline is now firmly established, with demolition of the existing building on the site scheduled to begin in late November. Construction will commence shortly thereafter, with Mr House indicating "We are looking at a build time of about 28 months."
Unparalleled Location and Community Benefits
Quentin Sq's position in Claremont offers residents exceptional convenience and lifestyle advantages. The complex is just a short stroll from Claremont Jetty and Swanbourne train station, surrounded by premier entertainment hubs, educational institutions, and medical centres. The breathtaking coastline is also easily accessible, creating what Mr House describes as "a life of convenience and leisure."
Beyond serving residents, the development will enhance the broader neighbourhood by introducing fine commercial, dining, and shopping options accessible to both residents and the wider community.
The Quentin Sq display suite at 327 Stirling Highway, Claremont is now open for inspections on Thursdays from 4-6pm and on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11am-2pm. With its unparalleled location, world-class amenities, abundant landscaping and opulent design, Quentin Sq is poised to become an enduring icon of the Claremont precinct, reimagining modern apartment living for Perth's discerning property market.
