A palatial penthouse on Sydney’s Lower North Shore – complete with its own wellness studio – is set to smash the apartment record north of the bridge if it achieves its $30 million asking price.
It’s just a touch over the current local benchmark of $28.25 million with the recently reported sale of a house-sized apartment at Kurraba Residences in the little-known suburb of Kurraba Point.
The impressive price tag for the Mosman penthouse comes down to the vast 570sq m footprint of the yet-to-be-built residence atop the $200 million Amara project on bustling Military Rd in Mosman.
Developer Dare Property Group has engaged DKO Architecture to create the 26-residence block, with penthouse interiors curated by award-winning designer, Fiona Lynch.
Danny Avidan, founder of Dare, said the Amara penthouse reflects the culmination of carefully cultivating design-led living philosophies that prioritise wellness and quality.
“The Penthouse at Amara is an exercise in quiet luxury – a home that feels deeply personal, contemporary and enduring,” he said.
“Our vision has always been to deliver residences that go beyond aesthetics, creating spaces that nurture well-being and longevity. The Amara penthouse sets itself apart as a singular whole floor residence, with never to be built out views.”
The decadent five-bedroom home on the seventh level of Amara has a panoramic backdrop that extends from Sydney Harbour through the Heads to the Pacific Ocean horizon.
Curated with handpicked finishes, there are Travertine and solid oak floors, polished plaster walls and ceilings, with bronze Pittella door hardware and custom joinery.
The sophisticated kitchen features Wolf cooking appliances, Sub-Zero refrigerators and Blum hardware, while the five bathrooms each have Rogerseller fixtures, smart toilets, and natural stone surfaces.
Expansive sliding doors allow the living spaces to flow through to large terraces that capture the iconic views, bespoke landscaping, natural light and ocean breezes.
A major drawcard of the glamorous penthouse is also its private wellness retreat, a rare apartment inclusion that features a sauna and a yoga or pilates studio. Additionally, there is a unique wine display wall and parking for five cars.
Beyond the grand penthouse, Amara offers 7 two-bedroom and 18 three-bedroom homes, along with resident-only luxuries such as a discreet concierge service for home maintenance, car detailing, personal chef experiences, and wellness treatments. Even the lobby makes a great first impression with an artwork by artist Ben Mazey.
In Mosman’s evolving high street precinct, Amara will be home to a 1600 sq m public wellness and retail hub, promising to be the first of its kind for the affluent Lower North Shore suburb.
“There has never been a lifestyle-focused high street address in Mosman quite like this before,” Avidan added.
The project is within walking distance of Mosman’s designer boutiques, popular eateries, clifftop trails, Headland Park, Sirius Cove and Balmoral Beach.
Construction is scheduled to commence next year, with completion anticipated by the end of 2027.
The Amara Mosman penthouse display suite, located at 555 Military Rd, Mosman, is now available for private appointment through The Agency and Colliers.

Mirvac’s 45-level Trielle has topped out at Yarra’s Edge, pairing riverfront apartments with wellness facilities, private dining and resident services.

Mirvac has topped out Trielle at Melbourne’s Yarra’s Edge, with more than 70 per cent of the riverfront development sold and approximately 80 per cent of purchasers intending to make their apartment a home.
The figures, released on September 22, point to an owner-occupier audience for one of the precinct’s final residential towers. Mirvac began developing Yarra’s Edge in 2003, and its latest addition occupies one of the remaining absolute riverfront sites.
Mirvac CEO of Development Stuart Penklis said existing residents were among those moving up within the neighbourhood.
“Many purchasers already have a connection to Yarra’s Edge,” Mr Penklis said, describing buyers whose changing needs were encouraging an upgrade within the precinct.
“As one of the final residential towers within Yarra’s Edge, Trielle represents the culmination of more than two decades of creating one of Melbourne’s most established and sought-after waterfront communities,” Penklis said.
“Positioned on the Collins Street axis with absolute river frontage, Trielle offers residents a rare opportunity to enjoy sweeping views across the Yarra River, Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, while remaining seamlessly connected to the CBD. With Trielle now more than 70 per cent sold, we’re continuing to see strong demand from buyers seeking quality homes in established locations.”
The developer also flagged a penthouse and sub-penthouse collection with larger layouts, premium finishes and broad outlooks. The planned wellness centrepiece, The Oasis, encompasses a 900-square-metre elevated urban rainforest.
Mirvac General Manager Residential Development Victoria Elysa Anderson said Trielle had resonated strongly with buyers seeking a rare lifestyle offering in Melbourne.
“Opportunities to secure a new luxury residence on a riverfront site of this calibre are incredibly rare, particularly within a community like Yarra’s Edge,” Anderson said.
“What makes Trielle unique is the combination of exceptional views, world-class residential facilities and the lifestyle that already exists around it. Residents are buying into a mature waterfront community with parks, promenades, dining, wellness and strong community connections already in place.”
The 45-level tower brings a substantial new presence to that waterfront. Its residential offering spans one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, with Signature, Prestige and Sub-Penthouse collections accommodating different household sizes. The north-facing position connects the apartments visually to the river and city beyond.
Seven storeys above the promenade, the planned Oasis combines planting and a running stream with a Scandinavian-inspired wellness club developed with spa specialist Naomi Gregory. Facilities include a 25-metre lap pool, hot magnesium pool, sauna, hydrotherapy, a gym, yoga and Pilates room, and treatment spaces.
The amenity extends beyond exercise. Residents will have access to The Biblioteca library and workspaces, ground-floor work pods, and The Salone piano lounge. A private Chef’s Table dining room offers a setting for larger gatherings, while a cinema, games room and sports lounge broaden the entertaining options. Concierge services and a dog-wash area support everyday routines.
Trielle comprises a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences. Reflecting strong demand from owner occupiers, approximately 80 per cent of purchasers to date intend to live in their homes, highlighting the project’s appeal to those seeking a long-term waterfront lifestyle.
Mirvac has recently delivered The Albertine, a premium apartment development on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD, and is nearing completion of Prince & Parade in Brunswick, further strengthening its portfolio of thoughtfully designed apartment communities in some of Melbourne’s most sought-after urban locations.
