Kingsborough is a new urban village where the ideas of community, creativity and sustainability collide. It’s nestled behind the buzzing Kingston Foreshore and offers something a bit different for Canberra’s inner south. There are shared gardens. A village square with a strip of shops. But most of all: a sense of community. Kingsborough is made up of 280 apartments, terrace homes and warehouse dwellings that provide a perfect retreat from city life.
Five different architecture firms contributed to give the village variety and an authentic, lived-in feeling. Each building has its own unique architectural character and features — from rooftop gardens to adaptable floor plans. And there are light-filled living areas and contemporary finishes throughout.
The Village Square shops are a place to meet and sip coffee in the centre of the precinct. A yoga studio, bike shop, café, tap room and coffee roaster are among the boutique businesses that have already moved in. Around the village, green thumbs can get busy in the shared gardens and kids can use the playgrounds and open spaces.
