Leading Australian development manager, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/fortis">Fortis</a>, is continuing to make its mark on the luxury apartment market in Melbourne's best suburbs.

Fortis, the development arm of real estate investment giant Pallas Group, has commenced construction on Richmond Square in Richmond, one of Melbourne's most vibrant and tightly-held inner city suburbs, which has seen a shortage of new apartment developments in recent years.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/richmond-square-1-wiltshire-street-richmond-vic-3121">Richmond Square</a>, located on Wiltshire Street, just one row back from the iconic Swan Street and a stone's throw from East Richmond Station, will comprise 52 generously-sized, two- and three-bedroom apartments across an 11-level building crafted by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, with interiors by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/hecker-guthrie">Hecker Guthrie</a>.

Construction is well underway, with significant progress made across the basement levels. Two tower cranes are now in operation, forming a visible part of Richmond skyline and supporting the vertical build as the structural core begins to rise above the hoarding.

The project is being delivered by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/hacer-group">Hacer Group</a>, a well-established local construction firm with a track record of delivering&nbsp;several high-quality apartment developments like Victoria Hill in Camberwell and Como Terraces in South Yarra.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=341427]

Every apartment features a main bedroom with built-in robes and an ensuite with a separate shower and bathtub, finished with the finest marble and floor-to-ceiling tiles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=341430]

Fortis has prioritized creating a resident community within Carmine House, with several opportunities for neighbours to gather outside of their apartments, yet still in the comfort of their own building.

The amenities have been strategically positioned on the roof to take advantage of the sweeping views across Melbourne.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=341436]

The rooftop, surrounded by extensive landscaping by ACRE, will feature an outdoor picnic lawn, BBQ, pizza oven, and bookable private dining and events spaces.

Completing the roof will be another indoor kitchen, part of a bookable private dining and entertaining space.

Richmond Square will also include 4,000 sqm of premium strata office space across two podium levels, located beneath the residences. At the heart of Richmond Square, a thoughtfully curated retail and dining precinct will provide residents and locals with a dynamic community hub

Enhancing this convenience, Carmine House is positioned just 200 meters from the nearest café and within easy walking distance of Swan Street’s lively mix of restaurants, bars, and boutique retailers.

Excellent public transport links, including nearby train stations and multiple tram stops, further connect residents to the broader&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>&nbsp;CBD and beyond.

Hacer is forecasting a late 2026 completion of Richmond Square. Buyers can save thousands by purchasing before the end of October. In October 2024, the VIC Government announced it would abolish stamp duty for new and off the plan apartment buyers until October 30, 2025.

Manresa well into construction at newest Malvern apartment development, Plant Street by Milieu

Boutique developer Callex Group is heading to Kew for its latest venture.

Callex is plotting a small development of just seven apartments on an already cleared 1,266 sqm site at&nbsp;9 O’Shaughnessy Street, walking distance to Kew Junction, Glenferrie Road shopping precinct and Victoria Gardens.

The proposed development includes one two-bedroom apartment and six three-bedroom apartments, along with 15 car spaces and six bicycle spaces.

The design by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/carr-design">Carr</a> incorporates elements from the existing built environment, using textures and tones that complement O'Shaughnessy Street and the adjacent Foley Reserve.&nbsp;

"Given the varied roof forms and architectural styles on O’Shaughnessy Street and neighbouring streets the design intentionally reads as a singular and recessive form in its massing and materiality, especially to street and the reserve to the south," Carr noted in their submission to the local council.

"Movement through textured render, hit and mix brickwork for screening devices and a layered landscaped proposal all contribute to a design sited comfortably within its context."

The apartment layouts focus on connecting internal spaces with external environments, ensuring ample daylight, natural ventilation, and views.&nbsp;

Each apartment has primary views towards O'Shaughnessy Street or Foley Reserve, with dual aspects to prevent purely south-facing units.

Landscaped by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/acre">Acre</a>, new canopy trees will be planted around the front, side, and rear of the property to mitigate visual bulk and provide necessary screening.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a> Activity Centre, which features supermarkets and other amenities, is located approximately 850 metres north along High Street.

Samuel Property went beyond well-designed homes in its newest&nbsp;Melbourne apartment development, offering its future Louise residents exclusive amenities for a convenient, social, and active lifestyle.

If residents are not out running around Albert Park Lake, they can get their cardio workout in the comfort of the well-equipped gym or the skylight-illuminated private pool on the ground floor.

True to the building’s biophilic design philosophy, the presence of water helps reduce stress and improve health and wellbeing.

Residents can also simply relax in the steam room or enjoy a massage from the in-house spa.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112174 project_image_fid=199597]

When entertaining family and friends, residents can book the dining room with a fully-equipped kitchen or use the private lounge area for informal gatherings.&nbsp;

The private lounge and adjacent dining room provide a flexible venue for hosting drinks, games nights, or special occasions with friends and family.

An outdoor terrace, beautifully landscaped, wraps around the communal areas.

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/louise-melbourne-8-louise-street-melbourne">Louise</a> will feature 88 apartments, ranging from one to four bedrooms, with one-bedroom apartments starting at just under $600,000.

The initial number of apartments set to be delivered has been slightly adjusted as a result of many buyers choosing to amalgamate multiple floor plans, creating unique spaces tailored to their individual preferences.

Over 70 per cent of the Louise apartments have already been snapped up. Downsizers have made up a majority of the buyers so far, with many seeking the convenience of a lock-and-leave lifestyle that the apartments offer.&nbsp;

Moments from Louise, the leafy St Kilda Road is lined with tram routes to the city, less than five kilometres away, with stops at various arts and cultural destinations.

The 16-level Louise is currently under construction by the renowned builder <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/hamilton-marino">Hamilton Marino</a>, which is on track to complete Louise in late 2025.

Piling work at 1 York Street has been completed and the bulk excavation phase is now underway.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/hamilton-marino">Hamilton Marino</a> is currently digging out the basement to ready the ground for slab work.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=241453]

DM and Icon Kajima have partnered with renowned architecture firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> to design the five-level, 129-apartment building which is already over 60 per cent sold.

The location's rarity for new apartment developments in Geelong played a significant role in achieving such remarkable sales figures.

"<a href="/new-apartments/motif-geelong-1-york-street-geelong-vic-3220">Motif</a> is situated in an ideal location, and its progressive design credentials led by Rothelowman have positioned the development to address the sustained undersupply of apartments within the Victorian housing market,” Nick Sestak, Senior Development Manager of Icon Kajima, said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=241456]

The ground floor hosts a generously sized plaza-like space landscaped by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/acre">ACRE</a>, providing a communal area for residents to gather and enjoy.

Ideally located at 1 York Street on the fringe of the CBD, Motif is just a stone's throw from Pakington Street's cafes, restaurants and bars, and the Little Malop Street precinct, home to The <a href="/developments/geelong-vic-3220">Geelong</a> Library and Heritage Centre, the most striking piece of architecture in town, while all being one street away from the water.

Motif Geelong apartments start construction

The Victorian division of Sydney's longtime luxury Lower North Shore development company Abadeen, is continuing its push into Melbourne's owner-occupier market.

Having launched <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/malea-94-burke-road-malvern-east">Maléa</a>, a collection of just seven luxury apartments on Malvern East's Central Park, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>, led locally by former CBRE Director Andrew Leoncelli, has filed plans for its next project.

They'll be developing a boutique building in Prahran at&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/grandview-prahran-616-646-high-street-prahran-vic-3181">616-646 High Street</a>,&nbsp;on the corner of&nbsp;Airlie Avenue and High Street near Toorak Park and Orrong Romanis Reserve.

Abadeen secured the 2,198 sqm site, which is the&nbsp;former Cabrini Hospital medical facility, last year.

They had Carr design a four-level building that curves around a Smooth Bark Apple tree, immovable as it's listed as a national trust significant tree.

<img alt="Abadeen Prahran" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="118ee15e-cc57-4aff-a458-4c5090c0f520" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-17%20at%209.15.19%20am.png?VersionId=4_eYVITw1EoMhK0gle3whzIs3rdxCrP." />

Carr is no stranger to having to incorporate a heritage-listed tree in a new development, nor are they a stranger to having to do so for a development overseen by Leoncelli.

Leoncelli's ALP Developments were behind&nbsp;Victoria &amp; Burke in Camberwell, where Carr had to incorporate a 220-year-old gumtree in the development of just 15 apartments. The Burke Road project broke records for the suburb when two of the penthouses sold off the plan for $5.5 million each in 2020.

There are a further three trees on the Prahran site, two Flowering Gums and an English Oak, which line the perimeter and need council approval to be removed or pruned.

The documents submitted to the Stonnington Council said the building form pays homage to the existing heritage-listed tree curving around its canopy.

"Windows and glazing are perpendicular to the building grid and juxtapose against the curved form, creating moments of interest in the facade."

<img alt="Abadeen Prahran" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8647f41e-0e4f-4427-ba68-5f1a84078ec8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-17%20at%209.12.56%20am.png?VersionId=P_vUPehlSvvrzY5jjV_kkx86j3RHz0cb" />

There will be 26 apartments across the four levels, a mix of two-beds, two-bed plus study's, and three-bed apartments. They will sit above two levels of basement with parking for 56 cars.

The two-bedroom apartments start from around 100 sqm internally and the largest three-bedrooms, the three penthouses, range in size from 180 sqm to 269 sqm internally, not including the wraparound terraces and the private rooftop terraces.

Abadeen broke onto the Melbourne off the plan apartment development scene late last year when they launched Malea.

Designed by Ewert Leaf and in landscaping by John Patrick,&nbsp;Malea comprises seven two and three-bedroom apartments with&nbsp;Miele and Gaggenau appliances, extensive outdoor spaces immersed in nature, and a parkside location unrivalled in Malvern East.&nbsp;

Established Melbourne developer Pace&nbsp;has unveiled its latest residential development, Fabbrica Fitzroy.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/pace-development-group">Pace</a> purchased the Gore Street site five years ago, a site which holds historical significance having been home to the Argyle Shirt Factory and Life Savers Confectionery Company.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139552 project_image_fid=254895]

Award-winning architectural practice <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a> has integrated the industrial past of the site into Fabbrica's dynamic future, creating exterior and interior spaces that connect with the contextual fabric and character of <a href="/new-apartments/fitzroy-vic-3065">Fitzroy</a>.

Pace took an adaptive approach to the project, responding to shifts in the market. The focus on owner-occupiers became paramount, leading to a redesign that increased apartment sizes and catered to downsizers.&nbsp;

The development provides a deliberate emphasis on larger apartments and offers personalisation options for residents. Two distinct interior design schemes by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/interior-designers/winwood-mckenzie-architecture">Winwood Mckenzie</a> or <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/interior-designers/bergman-co">Bergman &amp; Co.</a> allow residents to choose between the integrated details of Model A or the opulence of Model B.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139552 project_image_fid=240744]

Model A by Winwood Mckenzie features built-in sofas and fold-down beds with stainless steel and marble accents, while Model B by Bergman &amp; Co. boasts bursts of granite and textural timber on dressing tables and clever cocktail cabinets.

Beyond the apartments, Fabbrica Fitzroy boasts a number of amenities designed to enhance the resident experience. An expansive 800 sqm rooftop, offering panoramic views of the CBD, features BBQs and casual dining areas surrounded by botanical landscapes by landscape architecture practice Acre.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139552 project_image_fid=240743]

Residents can also book a private dining room with a communal kitchen, while there's also a lounge designed by Winwood Mckenzie and dedicated work-from-home zones.&nbsp;

The development further boasts a building concierge accessible via a residents' app for added convenience.

Strategically located on the corner of Johnston and Gore Streets, Fabbrica Fitzroy offers a coveted location only four minutes from the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a> CBD.

National diversified property developer Fortis has officially launched <a>Wiltshire House</a>, its new mixed-use development in the heart of Richmond.

Wiltshire House offers 57 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as premium office space and a modern ground floor retail precinct ideally set just off Swan Street near East Richmond Station.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/fortis">Fortis</a> engaged <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a> as the lead architect, in collaboration with landscaping by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/acre">Acre</a>, to reimagine the previously approved plans for the second building which had initially also been reserved for commercial uses.

This transformation from commercial to residential design reflects Fortis' response to the pent-up demand for high-quality residential properties in Melbourne's inner suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=256233]

Victoria's General Manager of Development, Tim Mills, says Wiltshire House aims to create a lifestyle precinct.

“As with our Sydney and Brisbane projects we are aiming to deliver more than just residences – by emphasising the existing local DNA of the areas in which our projects sit, while ensuring connection between our network of neighbouring projects within the same suburbs, we can create lifestyle precincts that add value to locals and visitors as well as our own buyers," Mills says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=256232]

Ben Baines from <a href="/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> also highlighted the exceptional location of Wiltshire House.

"The location within&nbsp;<a href="/developments/richmond-vic-3121">Richmond</a>, along with the Activity Centre zone which permits retail, residential and commercial, is what really sets this site apart from others," Baines says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=256236]

While ideally located around the corner from the&nbsp;cafes, restaurants and bars Richmond is famous for, Wiltshire House is also home to a number of resident amenity, including a&nbsp;and a landscaped rooftop with wellness facilities like a gym, yoga space, sauna, and showers.

There's also communal dining and entertaining spaces with city views.

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bayley-ward">Bayley Ward</a>, The Carlile draws inspiration from the adjacent Art Deco architecture.&nbsp;
