AT A GLANCE:

• Developer: Fortis
• Builder: Hacer
• Address: 1-5 Wiltshire Street, Richmond, Victoria
• Target completion date: December 2026

Located in one of Melbourne’s most connected pockets, Richmond Square brings together award-winning design, timeless craftsmanship, and the assurance of a trusted developer. 

Envisioned by Fortis - one of Australia’s foremost developers behind some of the nation’s most luxurious residences - this new Richmond landmark offers considered design and enduring value to the city’s edge, positioned within easy reach of the commercial and cultural heart of Melbourne.

A lifestyle defined by location

Positioned off Swan Street, Richmond Square boasts a walk score of 99, connecting residents to the neighbourhood’s best cafés, restaurants, and bars, and within walking distance to Melbourne’s world-famous sports and art precincts and parklands. This location brings together the ease of daily life while being connected to the city’s vibrant cultural and sporting landscape that defines Melbourne. 

The ground-floor laneway precinct will be home to dining, grocers, wellness, and everyday essentials - forming a vibrant, walkable community that feels authentically Richmond.

Mark Hosking, Fortis Associate Director - Development VIC, says, "Richmond Square has resonated with buyers who value a refined urban base in Melbourne’s iconic sports and arts precinct. 

“Demand has been particularly strong from downsizers in Richmond, Kew, and Hawthorn, seeking lifestyle ease and low‑maintenance living without compromise. 

“We have also seen families secure multiple residences, drawn to the opportunity for shared experiences and access to exceptional amenities. Additionally, purchasers from interstate and the Mornington Peninsula are embracing the project as a pied‑à‑terre that combines convenience with cultural connection.

“Richmond Square builds on the momentum of our flagship at 65 Dover Street, Cremorne, which set a benchmark for mixed‑use development in this market. 

“Traditionally defined by single‑fronted homes and industrial offices, the area is evolving, and we are proud to be pioneering a new model of multi‑storey living and working environments. 

“At Fortis, our focus remains on quality and design, ensuring each project contributes meaningfully to the cultural fabric of the neighbourhood.”

Architecture with presence

Wiltshire House and Carmine House are architecturally designed by SJB. 

Carmine House is defined by deep red tones and an arched brick colonnade - and to Richmond’s industrial heritage - while the curved white crown lends a contemporary, sculptural edge. Brick and concrete were selected for their enduring strength - both timeless materials that, much like Richmond, will continue to evolve in character and presence over time.

Above, the rhythm of curved and arched forms continues through the interiors by Hecker Guthrie, where soft palettes, custom joinery, and biophilic elements create a sense of sanctuary. Every residence is bathed in light through oversized floor-to-ceiling windows, framing uninterrupted views across the CBD, the MCG, and the tree-lined streets of Richmond Hill.

Refined residences for real life

From one-bedroom apartments to spacious penthouses, each home at Richmond Square has been crafted for comfort, privacy, and flow. Expansive open-plan living areas lead to oversized terraces, inviting natural light and air throughout.
In the entertainer’s kitchens, natural stone surfaces pair with V-ZUG Swiss appliances, including an induction cooktop and conventional oven. Main bedrooms offer walk-in robes and ensuites with twin vanities, a freestanding bath, and views to landscaped greenery.

Zoned heating and cooling, EV charging options, and double glazing ensure every detail enhances comfort and longevity.

Amenity that elevates every day

Atop the buildings, more than just a rooftop awaits. 

A landscaped rooftop sanctuary by Acre offers private bookable dining rooms, a residents’ kitchen equipped with a BBQ oven, and a communal herb garden, all reinforcing a sense of community living.  

From the sweeping lawns, residents can take in panoramic views of the city, the MCG, and Port Phillip Bay. Additionally, the space is fitted with facilities including a sauna. Residents will also enjoy secure, lock-up-and-leave living, complete with video intercom, CCTV, and basement parking - providing both convenience and peace of mind.

Designed for life, built on trust

Developed by Fortis, Richmond Square reflects a legacy of design-led delivery across Australia’s most desirable addresses. For buyers, it’s an opportunity to own within a project backed by experience and integrity - with the added benefit of significant stamp duty savings still available.

With uninterrupted city views, seamless connections to Melbourne’s premier destinations, and the craftsmanship of some of the country’s most acclaimed design studios, Richmond Square offers a new perspective on city living: refined, secure, and beautifully considered.
