A rare and opulent offering in the heart of Barangaroo.
2 min
If you’ve ever ventured around the newly established precinct of Barangaroo—one of Sydney’s most important waterfront renewal projects in decades—it will become immediately apparent just how extensive its re-development has been. What once was a gasworks site and container terminal is now a thriving oasis in central Sydney; a new waterside precinct with restaurants, bars and more that locals and tourists alike flock to year round.
Not surprisingly, it has also become a highly desirable place to live. Enter 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo —a three-bedroom, three-bathroom luxury apartment on Level 59 of Crown Sydney’s One Barangaroo locale.
Seldom do property listings like this become available, particularly so soon after its completion (the apartment is less than two years old). Providing all the luxurious amenities and service one can expect from such a location, this expansive home—which is just one of 79 residential apartments—is opulent in every sense of the word.
This residence represents the pinnacle of luxury living at 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, with panoramic views of both Darling Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. Featuring three spacious bedroom suites, each with adjoining ensuites, the residence is suited to both family members and their guests who can meet in the entertaining area where attention to detail, particularly in its design, is apparent. Materials include marble, artisan timber and leather interiors, chosen to complement designer lighting fixtures and a world-class chef’s kitchen with a bookend Calacatta benchtop and Sub Zero fridges.
Living in such surroundings calls for the hospitality and service Crown has come to be known for. Residents have access to six-star hospitality establishments with priority seating—as well as a residents-only bar and restaurant—a dedicated pool and private tennis court, valet service, and even room service should you desire.
Above all else, Barangaroo South is brimming with activity; once a neglected and inaccessible area of Sydney, now residents and visitors will benefit from the dynamic cultural, residential, business and retail hub that Barangaroo has become, yet is only moments from the city’s CBD precinct.
A win-win for young couples, downsizers, and families young and old who aspire to enjoy the best of city-living without compromising on a premium lifestyle.

A Vaucluse masterpiece by MHNDU with interiors by Poco Designs brings architectural ambition and breathtaking ocean outlook to the auction block.

There are ocean views, and then there is this.
Positioned on a dramatic clifftop in Vaucluse, 8 Ray Street doesn’t just face the Pacific, it commands it. With nothing between the home and the horizon but open water, this is the kind of outlook that buyers spend decades searching for and rarely find.
The residence itself is the work of MHNDU, one of Sydney’s most respected architectural practices, with interiors conceived by Poco Designs.
Together, the collaboration has produced a home that is as thoughtfully resolved inside as it is spectacular in its setting.
Soaring ceilings and expansive glazing open every principal room to the ocean panorama, while a series of indoor-outdoor transitions dissolve the boundary between interior life and coastal landscape. Light arrives differently here depending on the season — sharp and glittering in summer, golden and low in the cooler months.
Across five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the home offers scale without sacrifice. The brief has clearly been to create a property that functions as a family residence without ever retreating into mere functionality. Two car spaces complete the picture.
Vaucluse has long been synonymous with Sydney’s most coveted residential addresses, and Ray Street occupies one of the suburb’s most elevated and protected positions. The clifftop location is permanent — no development will interrupt this outlook — a fact that buyers at this level understand immediately and price accordingly.
The suburb’s median for five-bedroom homes currently sits at $11.725 million, with 50 transactions recorded this year and an average of 43 days on market. At that level, the properties that generate the most sustained buyer interest are those with something genuinely unrepeatable about them. A never-to-be-built-out ocean position qualifies on every measure.
8 Ray Street is listed with David Malouf, Director, Double Bay at Highland Property, and Steven Chen of The Agency, and will go to auction. Private inspections are available by appointment, with a scheduled open on Thursday 18 June at 5:30 pm.
