In Melbourne, true waterfront living is rare. But a home on two waterfronts, right at the edge of the CBD, is almost unheard of.

Collins Wharf by Lendlease claims this exceptional position, stretching between the shimmering waters of Victoria Harbour and the Yarra River’s flowing curves.

Located at the quiet wharf end of Collins Street, this prized address combines a serene waterside lifestyle with direct connectivity to the heart of the CBD. This means every residence enjoys uninterrupted water views, whether across the harbour towards the city skyline or down the river towards Port Phillip Bay.

“What we have here is exciting, and it’s something incredibly special for Melbourne,” said Adam Williams, executive director at Lendlease.

“You’re in close proximity to the CBD, and at the same time, you’re just moments away from your home at Collins Wharf.

“There is the opportunity to have a connection to water and experience a really different lifestyle while being close to everything the city has to offer.”

Where the city meets the harbour

Collins Wharf is surrounded by over 5,000 sqm of green and open space, ensuring you have a green escape when you need it. And, with a location alongside Melbourne’s inner city, the emerging Greenline project will connect to the precinct, meaning you will have a seamless link to the city’s best parks, walking trails, and public spaces along the Yarra.

Beyond the immediate waterfront, the location offers unmatched access to key destinations, such as Marvel Stadium and the District Docklands an easy walk away, and a free tram stop on the doorstep. This means residents can walk out of the lobby, hop on a tram, and be in the CBD within minutes.

With Southern Cross train station within walking distance, residents will have more of Melbourne’s business, retail, and cultural hubs easily accessible.

Whether it’s a morning walk along the promenade or a short tram ride to a gallery opening, life at Collins Wharf is shaped by choice and convenience.

Residences designed for light, space, and views

Architecturally designed by Warren and Mahoney, Collins Wharf’s residences are tailored to maximise their waterfront outlooks. Expansive glazing overlooks sweeping views and lets in ample natural light, while open-plan layouts create a sense of flow between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

Buyers can choose from one-, two-, or three-bedroom apartments, all thoughtfully designed with timeless finishes and generous proportions. As a buyer, there are two collections to choose from:

• The Waterfront Apartments are stunning, featuring Miele appliances, high-quality joinery, and designs that maximise natural light. Buyers can enjoy a choice of highly curated and timeless colour palettes, designed to complement the maritime history of Collins Wharf’s location.
• The Premier Collection residences boast generous open-plan living that maximises water views and natural light. European stone by Signorino, Gaggenau appliances, Italian-crafted cabinetry, and a selection of three premium Warren and Mahoney-designed colour palettes define this limited range of homes.

Future-ready living

In line with Lendlease’s commitment to sustainable urban development, Collins Wharf is an all-electric building targeting a 5 Star Green Star rating. EV backbone infrastructure is in place, allowing residents to easily upgrade to electric vehicle charging in the future.

This focus on sustainability extends to the landscaping and green space, which not only enhances the visual appeal of the precinct but also promotes biodiversity and a healthier living environment.

Exclusive lifestyle amenities

Collins Wharf’s amenity offering makes it easy to stay in. Residents have exclusive access to a wide range of amenities, including:

• A rooftop terrace with panoramic views
• Private residents’ lounge and dining room
• State-of-the-art fitness centre with gym and water views 
• 25-metre indoor pool
• Sauna and steam room

While right on the doorstep, the surrounding promenade with waterfront parks and walkways invites an active, outdoor lifestyle.

Collins Wharf’s exceptional offering, extending from its dual-waterfront positioning to its carefully designed residential precinct, ensures its appeal to a range of buyers, from savvy investors and discerning downsizers to owner-occupiers seeking a forever home.

As Adam Williams describes, “Collins Wharf represents Melbourne’s evolution as a world-class city, embracing innovation, sustainability, and community.

“If I were to describe what this project means for Melbourne, I would say it’s the evolution of Melbourne.

“It is the creation of a waterfront city, it’s the creation of that next phase of generational development.”

With completion of Collins Wharf’s Regatta and Ancora targeted for 2027, you can be a part of this evolution.
