Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli is bringing more than just sporting success to Melbourne’s west, teaming up with Ray White Williamstown to support the boutique ARCO apartment development in Footscray.
The high-profile partnership sees Mr Bontempelli, affectionately known as ‘The Bont’, feature in the campaign for the boutique apartment project, led by Ray White Williamstown director Joanne Royston.
Located at 66–68 Pickett Street, ARCO is just a short walk from the Whitten Oval, home of the Bulldogs’ training ground, which clearly visible from the building’s rooftop.
The development offers 16 generously sized three-bedroom residences and one four-bedroom penthouse, designed by renowned architect Ben Robertson.
“The western suburbs is a dynamic area that’s continuing to grow and develop,” Mr Bontempelli said.
“Having spent a lot of time in Footscray, I’m here playing and training just around the corner, I’ve seen the growth in the area.”
“There’s a great connection to the community in Footscray, there’s coffee shops, great pubs and restaurants, and a vibrant atmosphere. It’s only going to continue to grow and evolve.”
Ms Royston said Mr Bontempelli’s involvement is helping shine a spotlight on the project, which has already attracted a wide range of interest from buyers.
“We’ve had single purchasers, downsizers, and young professionals who live locally wanting low maintenance in a great location,” she said.
“But we’ve also had an enquiry on the penthouse from a young family as well. Buyers are attracted to the location, the lifestyle offered with inner city living, and the low maintenance of the apartments. It appeals to a whole variety of buyers.”
Currently listed for sale are units with a price guide of $850,000 to $930,000 and a sprawling 427.6sqm four-bedroom penthouse with a private rooftop between $2.5 million and $2.6 million.
Residents will also enjoy exclusive access to the on-site Alexam Wellness Centre, currently under construction, featuring mineral baths, cold plunge pool, sauna, steam room and relaxation areas.
With two apartments already sold for just over $1 million, Ms Royston said interest remains strong.
