Inspired by its coastal topography and local maritime history, Merchant Apartments are situated in the heart of AVJennings masterplanned community, Waterline Place. 

As the grandest and final release within the community, Merchant comprises one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with an exclusive collection of luxury Sky Homes on the upper levels. 

Envisioned by internationally acclaimed architectural firm Elenberg Fraser, Merchant’s facade is inspired by the expansive views and coastal environment that envelopes it.

From the upper levels, a glance in any direction presents aspects to either the waters in the south, the lights of the CBD to the east and far-reaching views across Williamstown and beyond to the west.

Set to be home to 14 residential buildings when completed, which will bring around 510 apartments and townhouses to the sought-after Williamstown pocket, the masterplanned community is all brought together by a series of active and pedestrian friendly streets and laneways - with Merchant Apartments at the centre of it all.

Offering a lifestyle with bayside charm, suburban vibrancy and ultimate connectivity, Merchant sits just 12 kilometres from the CBD, with Williamstown Train Station just a short walk away.

With a rich maritime history, this picturesque bayside suburb is situated within Hobson Bay and offers cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, shops, swimming beaches and renowned boating clubs, all within walking distance or a short car-ride. 

Residents can take the West Gate Freeway to access the city or surf the coast, or catch a ferry for a scenic journey across the bay.

Williamstown Botanical Gardens also sit just a short stroll away from Merchant, along with the many cafes scattered along Nelson Place. 

Construction has commenced. Buy now and save on stamp duty.
