Lendlease secure quick success at Regatta at Collins Wharf apartments in Docklands
Lendlease has achieved huge success at its Regatta at Collins Wharf development which they launched off market earlier this year.
They've sold over two thirds of the Collins Street building, uniquely located between the Yarra River and the harbour in Docklands, following the success of Collins Wharf’s flagship residential building, No. 1 Collins Wharf, which was completed in 2019.
Since its off-market launch in March this year, Regatta at Collins Wharf has attracted a legion of buyers seeking the opportunity to experience the best of city and waterfront living while being only a short walk from Melbourne’s CBD.
Daniel Dugina, Head of Apartments at Lendlease, said the significant demand demonstrates the return of confidence in the off the plan housing market.
He said the development has been welcomed by first home buyers through to downsizers seeking a quality home within the desirable dual-waterfront neighbourhood with easy access to the CBD.
“Regatta at Collins Wharf is the next stage of our ongoing investment in the area, with the precinct’s location presenting an exciting opportunity for Melbourne's city centre to stretch further westwards and engage with the water, connecting its maritime past with the contemporary vibrancy of the city for residents, workers and visitors.”
The 317-residence development designed by architecture firm Warren and Mahoney spans 29 levels and has one, two and three-bedroom apartments and a Premier Collection of luxury residences that have up to four bedrooms.
The Premier Collection includes five two-storey Skyhomes that are located on level 27 and offer panoramic views of the water and city skyline along with open-plan living, a choice of hand-selected colour palettes, and high-quality fixtures and fittings.
The Premier Collection also includes ten Harbourhomes each enjoying access to a secluded rooftop terrace via a private lift or internal staircase, while another 12 premium Riverhomes offer expansive river-frontage views that will never be built out as well as a private double garage with direct access to the residence.
Residents at Regatta at Collins Wharf will enjoy a hotel-style lobby with concierge service and access to a range of facilities within the building that promote wellness including an indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna and steam room, gym and multipurpose rooms.
Guests can be entertained in the private dining room and resident lounge, or enjoy the lush, landscaped surrounds of the two rooftop terraces located at level 4 and level 17 with panoramic views, plus a wintergarden.
The development will target 5 Star Green Star certification, designed as an all-electric building with electric vehicle infrastructure.
Collins Wharf is located adjacent to Lendlease’s Victoria Harbour precinct that has been in development over the past two decades. Residents will have ease of access to nearby amenity including public parks and community spaces such as the Library at the Dock.
As part of delivering Regatta at Collins Wharf, new parks and open spaces for the community will be created.
Buyer interest has been buoyed by confidence in the delivery of the development. Built atop a ‘finger wharf’ between Victoria Harbour and the Yarra River, early works have already commenced. Construction is expected to start in early 2024 and anticipated for completion in 2026.
Waterfront apartment prices start from $591,500, and Premier Collection residences range from $2,372,000 to $4,689,000.
