Daniel Petroni, General Manager of Development at Bayport, shares the highlights of creating the thriving Botanic Ridge community.
Since the 1970s, Bayport has carefully sought after sites in and around Melbourne’s growing southeast corridor to create prosperous spaces for residents to call home. Botanic Ridge is the latest estate to showcase the high standard that Bayport delivers.
Chosen for its proximity to Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, Daniel says its location, “provides residents with ease of access to the best parts of Victoria”.
Botanic Ridge holds a special place in Bayport’s vast history that spans three-generations. In 2006, Richard Torrossi, Managing Director of Bayport, brought Botanic Ridge to the south east. Daniel notes that completing this milestone in 2025 reflects Bayport’s two-decade-plus commitment to creating a vibrant, liveable community of more than 1,600 homes.
“We are so proud to see Bayport’s vision of a farm spanning across 325 hectares grow into the community that we today call Botanic Ridge.”
The envy of the southeast, it showcases panoramic scenery — quite literally neighbouring the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne and a world-class golf course, Settlers Run.
With the first residents having moved in 2006, the community has since flourished. Daniel expects “more of the same lush, native streetscapes and community feel that Botanic Ridge has established” over the coming years. He adds, “The large lot sizes at Botanic Ridge gives residents the opportunity to build their dream family home.”
For those hoping to secure a spot in an equally dreamy locale, Bayport is soon to launch Highfields in nearby Drouin. Daniel says, “it will similarly offer a high-quality community that people will be proud to call home.” So, if the lifestyle at Botanic Ridge has caught your eye, Highfields promises an equally enticing opportunity.
