Completed in 2020 by Vos Construction, The Commons is a beautifully considered collection of boutique residential apartments, conceived as a future-focused response to modern urban living and guided by a genuine commitment to sustainability. Designed by renowned architect Jeremy McLeod of Breathe Architecture — celebrated for their people-first, environmentally conscious approach — the building feels both contemporary and deeply connected to its Hobart setting.
Holding the distinction of being Australia’s first carbon-positive apartment complex, this achievement is expressed with quiet confidence, positioning The Commons among the city’s most thoughtful and forward-looking places to live. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Hobart’s CBD, the building is tightly held and limited to just thirty apartments, offering a rare sense of privacy, architectural integrity and genuine community connection. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a clever city-central investment with the option to purchase fully furnished, as well as professionals looking for a high-end yet welcoming apartment right in the heart of the city.
The apartment itself is a beautifully finished three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence where sustainability and everyday comfort sit effortlessly together. Generous open-plan living spaces are enhanced by Tasmanian Oak flooring, hydronic heating and double-glazed windows, creating a home that is warm, quiet and energy efficient year-round. A north-facing balcony draws in natural light throughout the day, while the kitchen and bathrooms reflect thoughtful design, quality appliances and timeless finishes.

Framed by kunanyi / Mount Wellington, the River Derwent and Tasmania’s renowned natural landscapes, Hobart delivers an exceptional balance of city convenience and natural beauty, and The Commons places you right at the heart of it.
