Richmond has long been one of Melbourne’s most coveted inner-east addresses, and Richmond Square by Fortis is set to become its defining new landmark.

Developed by award-winning property developer Fortis, this mixed-use lifestyle precinct behind the corner of Swan and Church Streets brings together 107 residences, a carefully selected laneway of dining and retail, a brand-new boutique hotel, wellness offerings, and strata office suites in one of the city’s most connected neighbourhoods.

With completion due in September 2026, buyers can move in before the summer.

Two distinct buildings, one remarkable precinct

Richmond Square by Fortis comprises two residential buildings – Wiltshire House and Carmine House, each with its own design identity.

Wiltshire House is crafted by SJB Architecture, drawing on natural stone, grained timber, and textured metals, with landscaping by renowned landscape architects Acre. A rooftop sanctuary with private dining and wellness facilities crowns the building, offering sweeping views across Melbourne’s city skyline.

Carmine House, designed by Hecker Guthrie, makes a bold architectural statement: deep red brick and a curved white crown that pays direct homage to Richmond’s industrial warehouse heritage. Interiors are pared back and precise: stone island benchtops, mirrored cabinetry, warm timber tones, and soft feature lighting that create a quiet luxury built to last. The private rooftop includes a terraced picnic lawn, outdoor kitchen with wood-fired pizza oven, and a bookable dining room with panoramic views toward the CBD, MCG, and Port Phillip Bay.

The Penthouse Collection

Crowning both buildings is a collection of six penthouses that represent the most elevated expression of living at Richmond Square by Fortis.

Wiltshire House’s two Level 10 penthouses are generously proportioned at 224 sqm and 236 sqm, each with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two car parking spaces, and SJB interiors that speak to the building’s material warmth.

Carmine House’s four penthouses begin at Level 11, ranging from 184 sqm to 210 sqm, with one offering its own private rooftop terrace on Level 12.

Across both buildings, expansive floorplans, premium finishes, and uninterrupted skyline outlooks deliver a genuine sense of calm and privacy at height. The penthouses are priced from $6.171 million.

Hotel-style living, with all the comforts of home

Carmine House introduces something rare to Melbourne’s residential market: a genuine service-led living model.

As a resident, you can opt into hotel-style services including housekeeping, linen refresh, laundry and dry-cleaning, in-residence food and beverage delivery, grocery and pantry stocking, and concierge assistance. It’s the kind of seamless, frictionless living that used to require checking into a hotel. Now, it can simply be part of everyday life at home.

Inner-city living, elevated

Unlike the typical multi-residential development, Richmond Square by Fortis promises a lifestyle destination that matches its vibrant surroundings.

At street level, Richmond Square’s curated laneway of culinary and lifestyle operators, inspired by Melbourne’s celebrated laneway culture, will serve residents, guests of the 57-room boutique hotel, and the broader Richmond-Cremorne community.

“Richmond Square by Fortis has always been about creating a destination in addition to delivering luxurious residential apartments,” said Jordan Winada, head of acquisitions (commercial) Victoria at Fortis.

“The hotel approval allows us to further realise that vision and create a precinct where residential living is complemented by hospitality, services, and amenity in a way that is rarely seen in Melbourne’s inner-east city fringe.”

What’s more, both buildings have been sustainably designed, carrying a 7.5-star NatHERS rating, backed by solar PV systems, rainwater harvesting, and a 10-year carbon-neutral GreenPower agreement for communal areas.

Richmond: Walk Score of 99

Sitting between Richmond and Cremorne, with a near-perfect Walk Score of 99/100, Richmond Square by Fortis puts East Richmond Station, Barkly Gardens, the Yarra River trails, and the MCG precinct within easy reach.

Just around the corner is Swan Street, one of Melbourne’s great foodie strips, and a destination in its own right. Local favourites such as Hochi Mama, Tartine, Pizzeria Da Bruno, Hugo’s Deli, My Oh My Cafe, and Gelato Messina are all within a short stroll, while the popular Hector’s Deli on nearby Stewart Street keeps the neighbourhood well-stocked. Whether it’s a long lunch, a late-night wine, or a quick coffee before the train, it’s all right there.

Here, you can leave the car at home… and honestly, you’ll rarely want it.

Two- and three-bedroom homes and penthouses are available across Wiltshire House and Carmine House. Prices start from $1,249,000 for a stylish two-bedroom residence with one car parking space.

Built by Hacer Group, completion is expected this September, meaning buyers who move quickly can be settled in their new home in time for summer entertaining.
