Lendlease reveal plans for next stage of Collins Wharf development
The next phase of the Collins Wharf project at Melbourne's Docklands has been revealed by ASX-listed developer Lendlease.
They've just submitted plans for a 24-level residential tower with 499 apartments designed by Cox Architecture. It will sit between two sites earmarked for future wharves as part of the expansive Collins Wharf masterplan.
The apartments will cover 23 of the 24 levels, above the ground floor which will have a concierge reception, music room, private dining rooms, a media room, residents' lounge, pet facilities, and an arts and crafts room. There will be extensive work from home amenity, including a business lounge, meeting rooms, and even podcast studios.

More residential amenity will be incorporated across the fourth level, with an array of recreational facilities, including terraces, indoor and outdoor gyms, yoga spaces, a lap pool and pool lounge, sauna, steam room, a treatment room and changing rooms. The level will also feature five studio and five two-bedroom apartments.
The majority of the levels will have 24 apartments, a combination of studios and one and two-bedroom units. The 22nd floor will comprise seven two-bedroom apartments, two one-bedroom apartments, and one three-bedroom apartment.
There will be just two three-bedroom apartments on the 23rd floor, as well as dining rooms, a terrace and a residents' lounge.

Lendlease's huge $1.5 billion Collins Wharf masterplan encompasses five towers in total and spans a vast 6.5-hectare site.
While No.1 Collins Wharf commenced construction in 2017, Collins Wharf 2 and 3, designed by Warren and Mahoney Architects, are currently in the planning process. These designs are awaiting approval, with minor changes such as amended plans to ceiling heights being considered.
Upon completion, the entire Collins Wharf project will boast a total of 1,500 apartments in the Victoria Harbour area of Docklands, with the project under the supervision of Development Victoria, which has overseen all developments in Docklands since the mid-1990s.
The project has an estimated end value of $6.7 billion by 2030.
