There are apartments you buy for the location. There are apartments you buy for the price. And there are apartments you buy because they change the way you experience every single morning. Collins Wharf Collection belongs firmly in that third category. Developed by Lendlease – the company behind the Sydney Opera House – on one of Melbourne’s last great waterfront parcels between Victoria Harbour and the Yarra River in Docklands, the three-tower collection of Regatta, Ancora and Aluna is not competing in the ordinary apartment market. It is redefining what waterfront residential living in Australia looks like.
Each tower in the collection represents a distinct chapter in a masterplanned journey, with each stage designed to surpass the last. Regatta opened the collection and quickly demonstrated what demand for genuinely premium waterfront product looks like. Ancora followed with an elevated offering for the most discerning buyers. And Aluna – the newest and most ambitious tower – brings the widest range of choice in the entire collection, from intelligently designed studios for the astute investor to full corner residences with unobstructed river frontage for those who simply will not compromise on how they live.
Regatta – Stage 2: The Last Opportunity Before Handover
Regatta is the clearest proof of what Collins Wharf Collection means to the Melbourne market. Of its 317 premium apartments, more than 80% have already been sold – a testament not to marketing momentum but to genuine, sustained buyer conviction in a product that delivers on every dimension of its promise. The residences that remain represent the final opportunity to acquire a Collins Wharf apartment at the point closest to completion, with handover scheduled for mid-2026.
Regatta apartments speak in the language of considered minimalism: clean lines, restrained material palettes, and interiors designed with a single overriding purpose – to draw the eye outward to the water and the sky. Open-plan living and dining areas create a sense of generous spaciousness that photographs cannot fully capture. Private balconies serve as a natural extension of the interior, blurring the distinction between inside and the spectacular Melbourne waterfront outside.
The standard 2-bedroom configuration at Regatta – 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 car space and 1 storage unit – is priced from $1,412,000 AUD (approximately 25.6 billion VND). The 3-bedroom offering begins at $2,000,000 AUD (approximately 36.2 billion VND), offering substantially more floor area and commanding rental appeal. For buyers seeking the rarest product in the entire collection, Townhouse T03 is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence with 2 car spaces – the floor area and privacy of a house, positioned within a world-class waterfront precinct – priced at $3,590,000 AUD (approximately 65 billion VND).
Ancora – Stage 3: Where the Premier Collection Sets a New Standard
Ancora enters the Collins Wharf story not as a continuation of Regatta but as a deliberate elevation of it. Its 303 apartments spanning 1 to 3 bedrooms are distributed across a tower whose defining feature is the Premier Collection – a curated selection of Skyhome, Penthouse and Townhouse residences positioned at the pinnacle of the Melbourne waterfront apartment market.
The Skyhome and Penthouse residences at Ancora occupy the tower’s uppermost levels, where 270-degree panoramas sweep across Victoria Harbour, the Yarra River and the full Melbourne CBD skyline simultaneously. These are genuinely irreplaceable products – not in a marketing sense, but in a literal one. Once the tower is complete and fully sold, views of this calibre from this address cannot be recreated in any future development at Docklands.
The Ancora 1904A, 2104A and 2304A floor plan represents the collection’s benchmark 2-bedroom configuration: open-plan kitchen and living, waterfront-facing balcony, premium European appliance package, and a bathroom finished to five-star hotel standards. Pricing runs from $1,393,000 to $1,403,000 AUD (approximately 25.4–25.6 billion VND). The Ancora 1604A – a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence with 2 car spaces and a generously proportioned floor plan – is positioned at $2,290,500 AUD (approximately 41.9 billion VND), accurately reflecting the value of a premium product at a genuinely premium address. Ancora is scheduled for completion in late 2027.
Aluna – Stage 4: The New Icon of Docklands
Aluna is the final chapter of Collins Wharf Collection – and the most ambitious. With 416 apartments ranging from studios to 3-bedroom residences and 13 exclusive townhouses, Aluna is simultaneously the largest and the most versatile tower in the collection. It is designed to speak to the investor seeking a smart entry point, the family looking for generous proportions in a central address, and the resident who wants the best corner water view that Docklands can possibly offer – all within a single building.
Targeted for completion in 2029, Aluna carries an advantage that Regatta and Ancora no longer do: the entire construction period still lies ahead, offering buyers who enter now the maximum runway for capital appreciation before settlement. Lendlease’s track record across its Melbourne and Sydney waterfront projects consistently shows meaningful price growth during construction – a pattern that reflects the structural scarcity of genuine waterfront product in major Australian cities.
Aluna Studios (apartments 915, 1115, 1315): Precisely planned residences that use every square metre intelligently. The entry point to Collins Wharf Collection ownership, and one of the very few opportunities to hold a waterfront Docklands address at a price that begins at $580,500 AUD (approximately 10.6 billion VND). Ideal for investors targeting the short-term or student rental market, or for buyers entering the Melbourne property market for the first time.
Aluna 1-Bedroom (apartments 718, 918, 1118, 1318, 1418, 1518, 1712, 1912, 2112, 2412): A 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom floor plan with an integrated study nook – designed for the professional or postgraduate student who wants more than a studio without stepping into 2-bedroom pricing. Private balcony with water outlook. Priced from $768,000 to $805,500 AUD (approximately 14–14.6 billion VND).
Aluna Corner 2-Bedroom (apartments 705, 1105, 2105): These are the most sought-after residences in the Aluna offering. A corner configuration with glass on two aspects delivers views across both Victoria Harbour and the Melbourne CBD skyline – the dual-water advantage that defines the entire Collins Wharf proposition, experienced at its most direct. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 1 car space. The open kitchen and living zone is proportioned to receive natural light throughout the entire day. Priced from $1,442,500 to $1,487,500 AUD (approximately 26.3–27.2 billion VND).
Aluna 3-Bedroom (apartments 1107, 2107): The benchmark of spacious living at the heart of Docklands. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two car spaces – a configuration designed for families or residents who want the generosity of a suburban house in the most connected waterfront address in Melbourne. Priced from $2,267,000 to $2,327,000 AUD (approximately 41.4–42.5 billion VND).
What Lies Beneath the Surface – Lendlease’s Specification Standard
What differentiates a Collins Wharf Collection apartment from the majority of Melbourne’s high-rise residential stock is not only the address and the views. It is the interior specification standard that Lendlease has applied consistently across all three towers – a level of finish that reflects the company’s heritage of building landmark projects rather than speculative commodity housing.
Engineered timber and premium stone surfaces run through the main living areas, grounding each apartment in materiality rather than the hollow laminate finishes that characterise much of the Melbourne apartment market. Kitchen joinery is custom-designed per apartment type, with material and colour selections that balance contemporary aesthetics with natural warmth. Appliance packages on 2-bedroom-and-above configurations feature European brands – Miele, Smeg or equivalent – integrated seamlessly into the cabinetry rather than dropped in as afterthoughts.
Bathrooms are finished to a standard that would be unremarkable in a five-star hotel but remains genuinely rare in residential development: rain shower heads, concealed-in-wall fixtures, stone or large-format tile flooring, and ambient lighting recessed into mirror cabinetry. In the Premier Collection residences at Ancora, freestanding soaking baths and heated floor tiles elevate the bathroom from a functional space to a daily ritual.
Throughout each apartment, floor-to-ceiling glazing and sliding glass systems maximise the connection between interior space and the harbour and river views beyond – while simultaneously delivering the acoustic and thermal performance that life on Melbourne’s waterfront requires.
Resident Amenities – Resort Infrastructure as a Daily Reality
Owning a Collins Wharf Collection apartment means owning more than the space within your own walls. The collection’s resident amenity offering is designed to the standard of a luxury resort – available to all owners and tenants as part of daily life rather than as an occasional indulgence.
The outdoor pool and sundeck face the water directly, creating the visual impression of swimming in the harbour. The fitness centre is equipped to commercial gym standard, eliminating the need for an external gym membership. The yoga studio and meditation space provide a quiet counterweight to the energy of Docklands outside. Rooftop entertaining areas with BBQ facilities and lounge seating offer a semi-private space to host guests against the backdrop of Melbourne’s night skyline. Concierge services, smart parcel lockers, electric vehicle charging stations in the basement car park, and bicycle storage facilities complete an amenity package that positions Collins Wharf Collection residents firmly at the premium end of Melbourne’s residential offering.
The One Thing That Cannot Be Replaced
In any property, some elements can be changed. Flooring can be upgraded. Appliances can be replaced. Layouts can, in some cases, be reconfigured. But views – particularly water views in the centre of a major city – are among the very few things in real estate that cannot be manufactured, replicated or added retrospectively.
Docklands has one Collins Wharf. Collins Wharf will be built once. When the collection is complete and fully sold, the panoramic harbour and river views from the upper-floor corner apartments of Aluna, Ancora and Regatta will represent a category of asset that is genuinely irreplaceable in the Melbourne market. This is why the investors most familiar with Melbourne’s waterfront property history tend to act while construction is still underway – not out of speculation, but out of a clear-eyed understanding that real scarcity does not wait.
A Straightforward Path to Ownership
For buyers approaching the Australian property market for the first time, Infiniti Property Corporation has structured the Collins Wharf Collection purchase process to be as accessible and transparent as possible. A holding deposit of $5,000 AUD secures a specific apartment. Contract exchange follows, with a payment of 10% of the purchase price. The remaining 90% is payable according to an agreed schedule in 2027 at completion – meaning capital is not locked in for an extended period, and buyers maintain full financial flexibility in the interim. At settlement, owners receive a freehold title under Australian law: permanent, unconditional, and fully protected ownership with no expiry date.
Rental potential of up to $750 AUD per week provides meaningful cash flow from the first day of tenancy. The Docklands address and Lendlease pedigree provide the structural foundation for long-term capital growth.
