A local downsizing couple has spent a record $13 million on the penthouse in Podia's new Neutral Bay apartment development, Wirra.

The size of the apartment, at 200 sqm, and the location of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/wirra-neutral-bay-96-ben-boyd-road-neutral-bay">Wirra</a>, on Ben Boyd Road next to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/neutral-bay-nsw-0">Neutral Bay</a> Village, were the two contributing factors for the couple.

The apartment has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and parking for three cars. The buyer hadn't initially been searching in Neutral Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112750 project_image_fid=232634]

All the penthouse levels have now been snapped up, with 30 per cent of the 20 apartments already sold.

The sale was facilitated by Michelle Dong from Australian Property Group in partnership with Atlas. Dong said the sale underscored the growing demand for high-end living spaces with iconic panoramic city and harbour views in the suburb.&nbsp;

“This sale firmly positions Wirra, Neutral Bay alongside similarly luxurious projects in Sydney’s CBD and Eastern Suburbs,” Dong says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112750 project_image_fid=232640]

Wirra joins Podia’s portfolio of growing projects including the new luxury hotel-apartment development <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-bonobo-by-raes-116-118-jonson-street-byron-bay">The Bonobo by Raes</a>&nbsp;in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/byron-bay-nsw">Byron Bay</a>, in partnership with hotel and hospitality brand, Raes. The project sits&nbsp;opposite Merivale’s hospitality redevelopment of the former Cheeky Monkey’s.

The Bonobo by Raes, under construction and 75 per cent sold, comprises 41 two, three and four-bedroom hotel apartments which are due for completion in the next 12 months.&nbsp;

Podia has also recently purchased a 16,000 sqm mixed-use site in Salt Village, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/kingscliff-nsw">Kingscliff</a> that they are redeveloping into a community-focused precinct which will offer a diverse variety of housing and accommodation options.&nbsp;

“We looked to the curves of the bay, Sydney Opera House, and Sydney Harbour Bridge, creating architecture that gestures, pivots, and speaks to the views," said Brian Meyerson, Architect at MHNDU.

The apartments will feature interiors designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/richards-stanisich">Richards Stanisich</a>, who "sought to create a calm sanctuary where the play of light, reflection, and texture sits naturally alongside Wirra’s phenomenal harbour and cityscapes."

Ultra Building Co to construct Podia's Wirra Neutral Bay apartment development

As affluent downsizers increasingly focus on the Lower North Shore&nbsp;for high-end apartments, Podia has introduced a collection of luxury apartments in Neutral Bay.

Wirra, a boutique project comprising 20 residences with expansive harbour and city skyline views from its Ben Boyd Road position, represents the latest prestigious offering from Podia and Centennial, renowned for their contributions to some of Australia’s most prominent developments.

During a VIP event last month, guests had the opportunity to experience the Wirra development firsthand in a display suite now open on Belmont Rd. Atlas Director Michael Coombs said that with only 20 apartments available, it's a matter of first come, first served.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112750 project_image_fid=232669]

Designed by a collaboration between architectural firm MHNDU and interior designer Richards Stanisich, Wirra's design and orientation are inspired by the curves of the bay and the views of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

<blockquote>
“We looked to the curves of the bay, Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, creating architecture that gestures, pivots and speaks to the views”,&nbsp; 
Brian Meyerson, MHNDU.&nbsp;
</blockquote>

The facade showcases a thoughtful blend of materials, including robust stones juxtaposed against textured glass accents and light-reflecting travertine floors.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112750 project_image_fid=232672]

Wirra seamlessly integrates exterior, interior, and landscape, offering meticulously designed three-bedroom apartments with house-like proportions.&nbsp;

The calming influence of nature seen from Wirra’s outlook is the inspiration for Richards Stanisich’s evocative interiors.

<blockquote>
“We sought to create a calm sanctuary where the play of light, reflection, and texture sits naturally alongside Wirra’s phenomenal harbour and cityscapes,” 
Jonathan Richards, Richards Stanisich.
</blockquote>

From garden apartments to penthouses, each residence is designed for a free-flowing and magnificently appointed experience.&nbsp;

Designed for entertaining, apartments will feature a grand dining room with a custom-crafted stone-glass bar and travertine double-sided fireplaces. Expansive living and dining areas seamlessly connect to the outdoors through floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized wrap-around balconies.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112750 project_image_fid=232641]

A clever bookcase serves as a stylish room partition, allowing light and views through, providing residents the flexibility to expand their space as needed.&nbsp;

Finely crafted kitchens with centre-piece sculptural slab stone benchtops, along with V-Zug cooktops, Sub-Zero fridges and Zip taps provide a space to create and connect. Bespoke textured glass and timber cabinets provide both functional storage and exquisite craftsmanship.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112750 project_image_fid=232638]

The master bedroom features an upholstered leather bedhead with integrated joinery, while Quartzite vanities in Wirra’s bathrooms add a distinctive design touch.

All Wirra apartments come with secure parking and storage, with private lift access to all levels.

Wirra is situated in one of Sydney’s most sought-after postcodes, with Neutral Bay offering a village lifestyle with al fresco dining, premium retail on Military Road, Kirribilli markets, and scenic walks along the harbour’s foreshore.

The development is slated for completion by Ultra Building Co in December 2025.

Podia reveal luxury Lower North Shore apartment development, Wirra Neutral Bay

The&nbsp;Peter Campbell-led development group, Lindsay Bennelong is one step closer to bringing their Crows Nest development, Delano to fruition, appointing a builder to the project.&nbsp;

The group has sought the work of Bondi-based construction company, Ultra Building Co, with the group behind a number of residential and commercial developments across the Eastern Suburbs, including the 1788 Residences and North Shore in Double Bay, as well as The Balmoral Collection in Mosman.

Located on the fringe of Crows Nest village, Delano pays homage to the Art Deco architecture that is prolific in the area while showcasing contemporary innovation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134072 project_image_fid=212760]

The development features three boutique buildings set amidst landscaped gardens, consisting of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as an exclusive collection of just seven townhomes.

Celebrated architecture firm, AJC Architects has taken charge of the project's design, which features&nbsp;timeless aesthetics that are brought to life through the use of robust and enduring materials such as steel and face brickwork.

The buildings are distinctly characterised in response to their street frontage and local heritage items, with stepped forms and landscaped terraces that avoid overshadowing while offering a transition between the nearby commercial centre and conservation neighbourhood.

The development's centrepiece is a five-storey tower that steps down to three-storeys along Falcon Street, with the three-storey townhouses fronting Hayberry Lane.

All the residences are optimised for natural light and cross-ventilation and feature energy and water-efficient fixtures and fittings. The communal lobbies and corridors are naturally ventilated and lit, and there is bicycle parking for residents and visitors.

Herringbone engineered timber floors, plush broadloom carpet, and deluxe Miele kitchens, with natural stone benchtops and integrated fridges, are just some of the features residents can expect to enjoy, while the spacious balconies, rooftop terraces, or private courtyard gardens will offer a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134072 project_image_fid=212756]

Upper-level apartments will benefit from leafy views over North Sydney or Mosman, while a communal grassed lawn and gardens with seating and barbecue areas provide the perfect outdoor space for relaxation.

Sustainability was another key consideration throughout the design process, with site-wide water harvesting systems in place along with a reuse system.&nbsp;

Residents of Delano will enjoy a short five-minute stroll to the forthcoming Crows Nest Metro Station, which is due to open in 2024, the same time Delano is due for completion.&nbsp;

They'll also be just a 400 metre walk to Woolworths and just three-minutes from Crows Nest Village's lively cosmopolitan culinary scene.

Builder appointed to Lindsay Bennelong Crows Nest development, Delano

Deicorp, Helm and Ultra Building are the first developers and builders in NSW to complete the Equifax Independent Construction Industry Rating Tool (iCIRT) and achieve the benchmark to be deemed “trustworthy”.

Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation Kevin Anderson said having these first rated property industry players marked a new era of transparency for NSW apartment buyers.

“Our building reforms have focused on lifting standards and rebuilding public confidence in the residential apartment industry and our rating system is the ultimate embodiment of that goal,” Mr Anderson said.

“Ratings are a game changer. Consumers in NSW will now have the benefit of an independent assessment that lets them find a trusted, rated developer who has shown they have the capital, experience and capability to deliver a quality apartment,” he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29984 project_image_fid=170448]

iCIRT leverages from Equifax’s global expertise as a regulated ratings agency, using data to be able to evaluate the risk of a developer’s business and practice by looking at aspects such as their track record, capital, risk management and ownership structure. The ratings will be listed on an online register and developers will display their ratings on sales brochures.

“The reality is there are a few bad apples spoiling the bunch," Anderson noted.

"Ratings allow customers to spot them before picking them off the tree. As we roll out more and more ratings we will deliver a fatal blow to developers and builders who engage in phoenixing or turn out defective work,” Mr Anderson said. “I congratulate Deicorp, Helm and Ultra Building for taking the lead, and there are many others not far behind them. By March next year we expect to have close to 50 players rated.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100689 project_image_fid=180612]

The CEO of the Urban Development Institute of Australia NSW Steve Mann said he was proud of the industry’s response to ratings. “This is a huge leap forward for NSW developers, who are delivering great apartment products,” Mr Mann said. “As we re-establish construction momentum off the back of COVID delays and push hard on delivering more apartments to the market to meet demand, ratings will help customers gain confidence when they buy new properties off-the-plan.”

Executive Office of Owners Corporation Network Karen Stiles said this game changing tool will give buyers in NSW real choice of who to engage with. “The ratings will give consumers the power of choice when considering a new development, which will have a big impact on purchasing decisions,” Mrs Stiles said. “With 623 apartments already rated as part of the program, it won’t be long until buyers entering the market can do so knowing exactly who they are dealing with.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84752]

The ratings initiative forms part of the NSW Government’s Construct NSW transformation strategy to rebuild public confidence in residential construction. It will be key to the Government’s plan to introduce Decennial Liability Insurance, a special type of insurance taken out by the developer to guarantee against major defects for up to 10 years, which is not currently available in Australia. More information on the strategy can be found at https://www.nsw.gov.au/building-commissioner.
