Sydney’s premium buyers desire true waterfront property – yet opportunities to secure the perfect view, as well as the level of modern design and amenity they expect, can be rare.
This is evidenced by the fact that one new true waterfront opportunity, 81 Yarranabbe in Darling Point, has been 40 years in the making.
“This is a consolidated site of three blocks of approximately 2,500 square metres, north facing, waterfront, and zoned for high density apartments,” says Dan Maurici, senior development manager, Yarranabbe Ventures.
“There's really nothing else this close to the CBD in the Eastern suburbs with the iconic views that's shovel ready.”
With buyers focusing more than ever on lifestyle and wellbeing, the ability to wake up to expansive harbour views, take walks by the water, and dip in the pool while watching the boats go by is sought after.
“Some buyers have similar views in their existing family homes, but they want to upgrade the quality of their home and downsize their gardening and maintenance,” Mr Maurici says.
“They also want something that’s rare and unique and is going to hold in value.”
81 Yarranabbe is a rare true waterfront residential opportunity in Sydney's prestigious Darling Point.
A truly rare waterfront project
For premium buyers, 81 Yarranabbe has been designed to deliver the rare combination of epic views, house-sized residences, leading architectural design, and world-class interiors.
The development has just eight residents across five levels, with 40 metres of uninterrupted north-facing frontage looking to the harbour.
“In such an incredible location, we wanted to offer the highest possible standard of residential apartment and set a new benchmark for Sydney and Australia,” says Mr Maurici.
“We are aiming to deliver a level of quality on par with New York, London and Tokyo, reflecting Sydney’s rise as an international status destination.”
The homes at 81 Yarranabbe are designed to take full advantage of the luxury harbour views.
Global design, local sentiment
81 Yarranabbe has been designed by renowned local architect Tzannes, complemented by the interior design of London design studio Banda.
“The global fusion means we have an ultra-high-end, global style interior that Edo from Banda knows very well, combined with the unique Sydney, robust, classic minimalist architecture of Alec Tzannes,” Mr Maurici says.
Buyers have the choice of two garden level residences with private landscaped outdoor areas, four half-floor residences on the mid-levels, and two full-floor residences – the sub-penthouse and penthouse.
Regardless of choice, each has expansive living areas, luxury appliances from V-Zug, Wolf and Sub-Zero, and high-quality craftsmanship throughout.
“The homes feature natural materials, richly veined marbles, solid timbers, bespoke joinery and hand-crafted metalwork, for enduring quality,” Mr Maurici says.
World-renowned architects and interior designers have come together to bring 81 Yarranabbe to life.
Premium lifestyle amenities
Lifestyle is at the heart of 81 Yarranabbe, starting with a 25m harbourfront pool, and resort-style wellness retreat.
“You can wake up looking over the harbour, then go down and do your laps in the pool or take your kayak out to Rose Bay,” says Mr Maurici.
“You can go back to the gym for a workout or relax in the sauna or steam room.”
He adds that buyers benefit from three-to-four-car garages, private lift access, concierge services, and a private jetty.
“It’s right out the front and can be used for pickups and drop offs from water taxis and other boats,” he says.
As one of Sydney’s most prestigious suburbs, the area also offers an abundance of amenity to enjoy.
“You can walk just 400 metres down to the ferry, to go into Circular Quay, or to Double Bay for lunch, and shopping. You can walk around to Rushcutters Bay, and the Cruising Yacht Club,” he says.
A waterfront pool is just one of the resort-style amenities available to residents at 81 Yarranabbe.
A generational opportunity
With such premium waterfront opportunities so rare, Maurici says 81 Yarranabbe buyers will likely see this as an investment in their own future – as well as for the generations to come.
“You would keep this in your family for generations if you could, because it’s one of a kind, it’s not going to be repeated,” he says.
Prices at 81 Yarranabbe start from $38.5 million and range to $82.5 million.
Mr Maurici says the focus on views, quality, amenity and the security and privacy will appeal to the most discerning buyers in the marketplace.
“It ticks every box for this buyer segment, delivering all the premium attributes they expect,” he says.
