For over 55s seeking a laidback lifestyle on the water’s edge, Waterline Place in Williamstown represents a rare opportunity.
For those considering downsizing, Waterline Place’s Merchant Apartments are an ideal option.
With an established welcoming community already in place, spacious residences, and an array of quality amenities, the transition into life at Waterline Place is seamless, as Susan Lindblom, a resident and sales consultant for AV Jennings, can attest.
“We [Susan and her husband] bought an apartment back in 2019 because we could see it was shaping up to be made up of a mature owner-occupier buyer like us,” she explained.
“I love that it’s a brand-new apartment – it’s air conditioned with double glazing, and there’s beautiful views… we have a lovely lifestyle here.”

Williamstown’s iconic vista can be enjoyed by lucky residents.
Prices of the apartments range from $725,000 to $2.5 million, offering one, two, and three-bedroom homes, including the opulent Sky Home, which features panoramic views of Melbourne’s iconic skyline.
With only a handful of each apartment type available, buyers are encouraged to act quickly to secure a piece of the Waterline lifestyle.
Luxurious amenities and vibrant community living
Residents have exclusive access to a fully equipped gym, an expansive rooftop terrace with multiple barbecue and dining zones for entertaining, and a putting green to practice their short game.
Communal gardens and outdoor TVs also create spaces for relaxation and connection with neighbours.
“The rooftop garden is a tremendous amenity. It spans the whole north face of the building, offering beautiful views back across the bay to the city.
“It’s the place to be on Friday nights around five o’clock when neighbours gather for a glass of wine and a beautiful sunset,” said Ms Lindblom.
Future ground-floor retail will make life easier for residents, with a boutique supermarket and bottle shop confirmed and other tenants coming soon.
With cutting-edge architecture, the homes have been created with the latest in modern conveniences.
Architectural excellence
The design of Waterline Place was completed by architecture firm Elenberg Fraser, who also designed the two other buildings on the site: The Empress building and The Gem building.
“Elenberg Fraser’s architectural brilliance is evident in the three buildings they’ve designed for the precinct.
“Each has its unique character but ties together beautifully as a cohesive community,” explained Ms Lindblom.
The interiors of the apartments comprise quality appliances and finishes, including Miele and Bosch dishwashers and cooktops, along with natural reconstituted stone and timber flooring.
The design also connects residents to the outdoors with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to stunning water or city views and an undercover balcony to further enjoy the fresh sea breeze.
With easy, low-maintenance layouts residents can spend time on the more enjoyable aspects of life.
Iconic Melbourne location
Situated in the heart of Williamstown, the suburb mixes the relaxing atmosphere of a waterside town with easy access to the beating heart of Melbourne via train, ferry, and car, being only 13km away from the CBD.
“Williasmtown is Melbourne’s best-kept secret,” Ms Lindblom said.
“It’s a village that’s 20 minutes from the city, so you feel like you’re in a country town but with seamless connectivity to Melbourne’s CBD.”
