Victoria Point, Residential skyscraper in Docklands, Melbourne, Australia
Victoria Point is a 42-level residential tower at the corner of Bourke Street and Harbour Esplanade in Docklands, Melbourne, reaching 128 metres with 447 units. Its street addresses include 100-120 Harbour Esplanade and 744-768 Bourke Street. The building also holds the Melbourne headquarters of Bendigo Bank and a separate Quest serviced apartment complex of 115 apartments.
The site was first controlled by the consortium behind Docklands Stadium, including Channel 7 and Baulderstone Hornibrook. Melbourne developer RIA Property Group bought those rights, conceived the tower with Buchan Architects, and built it from 2003 to 2005 with Multiplex for a joint venture of RIA and Brisbane's Devine Limited. RIA later sold equity to Devine.
The tower's name comes from its Victoria Harbour frontage in Docklands, and its podium holds the Melbourne headquarters of Bendigo Bank, a regional Victorian bank founded in 1858. A separate Quest complex of 115 serviced apartments lets short-stay visitors live in the same building as residents, so the lobby mixes hotel guests and apartment owners.
The building sits in the Docklands waterfront area with good public transport connections nearby. Visitors should note that it is private property with limited public access to the interior spaces beyond the ground floor.
The building served as a filming location for episodes 12 and 13 of the Australian television series Underbelly. This appearance helped bring the local area into the country's popular culture.
