Luxury Real Estate Takes Off in Sydney
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a boost in luxury sales to Sydney as expats return to Australia and locals bolster the market. Knight Frank partner Erin van Tuil told Mansion Global that Sydney saw a 33 percent increase in super-prime average transaction value year-over-year to $16.8 million. Knight Frank’s 2020 Global Buyer Survey found that 40 percent of ultrahigh-net-worth individuals in Sydney are looking to buy a home on the waterfront. The under-construction One Barangaroo Crown Residences is poised to bring 82 super-prime waterfront condos to Sydney Harbour by early 2021. Residents of One Barangaroo will have access to the adjoining 349-key Crown Hotel’s two pool decks, tennis courts, spa, and gym.
Thomas Heatherwick’s Lantern House Gets Signature Windows
Boundary-pushing architect Thomas Heatherwick’s forthcoming High Line condo, Lantern House, is taking shape in NYC’s Chelsea neighborhood. New photos of the building captured by New York YIMBY show that most of the building’s signature lantern-like bay windows are now in place. The luxe development features 181 condos spread across two towers — one of 21 stories and a second of 10 stories — joined by a lobby under the High Line greenway. Current availability ranges from a one-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom residence, asking $1.625 million, to a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom residence with a large private terrace, seeking $10.95 million. Lantern House is being developed by The Related Companies, whose portfolio also includes 35 Hudson Yards and The Avery.
