Indulge in city luxury in this rare Sydney find

Your seat for the Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks is booked – once you’ve signed on the dotted line for this exceptional property in the landmark REVY building at Pyrmont.

With views to the north across Circular Quay to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the best of both worlds is within easy reach, offering the energy of the city and Star Casino while being positioned on the quieter side of Darling Harbour.

This single level apartment at 8 Darling Island Road is generous enough to accommodate a large family, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms within the 326sqm of floor space, as well as three car spaces. The spacious master suite has the best views of the city, which is in addition to a shared rooftop terrace for entertaining friends. As you might expect, the bathrooms are finished in stone and the kitchen is stainless steel.

Although it’s in the heart of the city, this home also offers a dedicated home office with excellent connectivity for maximum flexibility.

The apartment is in the heritage listed Royal Edward Victualling Yard (REVY) building, designed by Walter Liberty Vernon and opened in 1907. Constructed from solid brick with a sprinkler system and lifts – considered quite innovative for the time – it was used as a warehouse for the navy before it became an office block in the 1970s. It was eventually converted into luxury apartments and is one of the few surviving examples of narrow warehouses in Sydney.

This rare offering could be yours for a cool $20 million.

As global trade tensions intensify and tariffs reshape the retail landscape, one Australian brand is choosing to scale rather than retreat.

Sydney-founded luxury label MAISON de SABRÉ is doubling down on the US market, pushing ahead with a bold expansion strategy despite rising cost pressures and broader global uncertainty.

While many brands are increasing prices or pausing shipments, MAISON de SABRÉ is holding its price point for customers and continuing to invest in its US operations.

The move reflects a deeper strategic play: a vertically integrated, zero-waste supply chain that allows the brand to deliver on cost, speed, and quality — even under pressure.

It’s this model, paired with consistent product innovation and sharp design, that has helped MAISON de SABRÉ build lasting equity in international markets.

At its pop-up in Bloomingdale’s, MAISON de SABRÉ is currently the top-selling brand in its category — a position it also holds in the top two across both Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom’s online platforms.

Co-founder and CEO Omar Sabré says this is no accident.

“This is going to be a very difficult period for a lot of smaller brands — especially those relying on offshore mass production or single growth markets,” says Sabré.

“We’ve built a uniquely global model that can absorb shocks — from pricing pressure to supply chain disruption — while protecting customers and safeguarding long-term growth.”

Founded on a mission to deliver modern, accessible luxury, the brand hand-finishes its signature full-grain cowhide goods in Sydney, tested against a 13-point quality control protocol.

Sustainability is embedded, not just as a value but as a competitive advantage. MAISON de SABRÉ sources exclusively from LWG Gold-Rated tanneries, and its transition to DriTan™ leather — the world’s most sustainable tanning method — saves 25 million litres of water annually and reduces chemical use by 33%.

With 85% material utilisation, zero-waste production, and carbon offsetting on track by 2026, MAISON de SABRÉ is setting a new standard for sustainable craftsmanship at scale.

“We’ve always believed that staying close to the customer — operationally and emotionally — is what separates sustainable brands from short-term players,” says Sabré.

“This isn’t just about product. It’s about building systems that hold up in any climate.”

While competitors pivot or pause, MAISON de SABRÉ is executing a long-term strategy built on control, creativity, and disciplined growth. In a disrupted global retail market, the brand isn’t just weathering the storm — it’s shaping the new definition of modern luxury.

As tariffs bite, Sydney’s MAISON de SABRÉ is pushing deeper into the US, holding firm on pricing and proving that resilience in luxury means more than survival.
