Jackson Clement Burrows and Aspect and Oculus created the masterplan for the area.

Warren and Mahoney Architects designed the plans for Collins Wharf 2 and 3, which will have a total of 668 apartments with 320 apartments for Collins Wharf 2. 

“Our proposed Collins Wharf 2 and 3 aims to deliver more than 660 residences across two residential towers, ... along with proposed new open parklands,” a Lendlease spokesperson said.

Lendlease estimates a combined end value of more than $750 million for both Collins Wharf 2 and 3. 

▲ The Victoria Harbour Precinct redevelopment and revitalisation is expected to be finished by 2030 with an estimated end value of more than $6.7 billion.
