Grand Point Piper residence with bridge views secured millions under guide
▉ REGION: LOWER NORTH SHORE & EASTERN SUBURBS
▉ CLIENT: LOCAL FAMILY
▉ BUDGET: $9M
Background
Our client commenced their search across both the Lower North Shore and the Eastern Suburbs, open to harbourfront apartments and substantial homes that delivered scale, privacy and long term blue chip positioning.
The brief evolved over time. While houses offered land and presence, many required compromise on privacy or view. Apartments offered security and lifestyle convenience, yet very few delivered true house like proportions with enduring prestige.
Challenges
• Limited stock of whole floor or house scale apartments across both precincts
• Significant pricing disparity between vendor expectations and underlying market value
• Emotional fatigue from inspecting properties that met only part of the brief
• Navigating two prestige markets simultaneously while maintaining discipline
Strategy
We maintained a dual market strategy, tracking both Lower North Shore and Eastern Suburbs listings, including off market and withdrawn opportunities. Rather than chasing volume, we focused on identifying mispriced or fatigued listings where negotiation leverage could be created.
Our process involved:
• Constant monitoring of prestige stock that had exceeded typical days on market
• Reassessing assets that launched ambitiously and later softened
• Maintaining active dialogue with key selling agents across both markets
• Re calibrating the brief in real time as we inspected and eliminated options
The Property
The property ultimately secured in Point Piper offered 464sqm on title, presenting rare street level access with an elevated aspect capturing sweeping views across the harbour and Harbour Bridge.
One of only four whole floor residences in the building, the apartment delivers exceptional scale. An elegant foyer introduces grand formal living and dining rooms finished in exquisite parquetry flooring. A separate gourmet kitchen with casual dining complements the formal entertaining zones.
Outcome
The result was a landmark acquisition secured significantly below its original price expectations.
Our client achieved:
• Whole floor privacy in one of Australia’s most exclusive enclaves
• Harbour Bridge views with scale rarely replicated in apartment living
• A 296sqm internal residence acquired for under $9m against a $15m+ launch guide
This case study reflects the importance of patience, discipline and strategic positioning across multiple prestige markets. The right property was not the first one inspected. It was the one secured when timing, motivation and value aligned.
