Apartment living in Sydney

The concept of modern luxury living is evolving in major cities around the world. Today’s highest expression of this cosmopolitan lifestyle demands an intricate balance of personal space, world-class aesthetics and effortless accessibility to the heart of these iconic cities and their attractions. It’s a demanding standard of living, which greater land space alone cannot deliver. This is where Sydney’s thriving luxury apartment lifestyle excels.

"Sydney is ranked Australia’s safest city and the fourth safest in the world ahead of Tokyo and Amsterdam."

The Landmark isn’t just an apartment, but an architectural masterpiece setting the highest benchmark for high-rise residency. This pursuit of perfection also makes Sydney the perfect backdrop for The Landmark’s own breathtaking penthouses.

The major Australian city proudly boasts the country’s largest population alongside a diversity of multicultural communities, languages, traditions and religions from all over the world. Over time, this rich cultural hub has nurtured an equally exciting dining and entertainment scene to distinguish itself as the epitome of East meets West. And there’s even more reasons to call Sydney home.

  • Sydneysiders get to experience the world at their doorstep whether it’s with authentic restaurants, art galleries, cultural events, entertainment or global business.
  • Almost 50 per cent of Sydneysiders were born overseas. This diversity makes finding familiar friends, sights and colleagues effortless.
  • Besides English, the most common languages spoken include Mandarin, Thai, Cantonese, Indonesian and Spanish.
  • Sydney’s expansive 12,368 square-kilometre footprint features a stunning natural landscape of flora and fauna that isn’t compromised for attractive city infrastructure.
  • Residents can explore Sydney’s world-class beaches, natural habitats, cultural hubs, entertainment precincts and wineries all within a two hours’ driving distance.
  • Sydney is ranked Australia’s safest city and the fourth safest in the world ahead of Tokyo and Amsterdam.

Luxury apartment buyers

The latest research data confirms that the prestige real estate market didn’t slow during the pandemic but, in fact, grew in major cities like Sydney. The groups responsible for driving this market are ultra-high-net-worth individuals, those who are currently living in Australia and likely purchasing their second home for the next generation.

"The Landmark penthouses are set to become one of the city’s hottest commodities that will undoubtedly sell in record time."

Paired with Australia’s stable economy, safe society, low interest rates and an abundance of space and resources, more ultra-high-net-worth individuals both locally and internationally are choosing to invest in Australian property than ever. The number of ultra-wealthy Australians are also predicted to grow by 3.8 per cent annually in the next five years, making the flow-on effect into luxury apartments inevitable. Reports indicate that wealthy buyers are targeting premium apartments, lifting prices by 3.2 per cent in 2020 alone. In Sydney specifically, prices for new premium apartments climbed by 10.6 per cent.

These findings paired with high demand and low supply in this property class means that The Landmark penthouses are set to become one of the city’s hottest commodities that will undoubtedly sell in record time.

Building excellence since 1912

Exceptional build quality in luxury apartments is one of the most critical factors in choosing the right home not just for today, but for generations to come. The Landmark is a proud development of Hutchinson Builders, Australia’s largest privately owned construction company, which has been building reliable structures for Australians to live, work, study, shop and play in since 1912. The 52-storey tower is designed by local architect Tony Leung from A+ Design Group in collaboration with Warren & Mahoney to create a truly spectacular sanctuary which has already won a Good Design Award and will set a benchmark in the area for future developments.
