Sydney's well-heeled are driving the sales at Nautique, JDH Capital's $300 million Rushcutters Bay apartment development.

Among the buyers is Lionel Lee, chairman of Bing Lee, who bought two two-bedroom apartments with parking for his children.

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Geoff Rosenberg and wife Julie, the executive officer of the Australian International Development Network, bought a one-bedroom plus study for their daughter.

Oliver Workman, Managing Director of a lighting business, bought a $3.2 million two-bedroom unit with parking for his daughter, whilst Peter Wilding, the CEO of Ian Malouf Family office and Bingo Founder, bought a $3.5 million two-bedroom apartment with parking.

The Bayswater Road project, a redevelopment of the former Vibe Hotel near Ruscutters Bay Park, is the first major apartment development in the exclusive harbourside suburb in over 13 years.

Currently under construction and is slated for completion in May 2024, nearly 50 per cent of the 123 apartments have been sold. Prices start from $1.1 million.

Each apartment in Nautique will be turn-key and characterised by timber engineered oak flooring, generous living spaces and include a range of integrated appliances including a cooktop, oven and rangehood, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

Nautique will be crowned by a rooftop pool deck overlooking Sydney Harbour views and a curated veggie garden.

JDH Capital Founder Jean-Dominique Huynh said Nautique is a "testament to JDH Capital's commitment to redefining luxury living."

"Nautique represents a unique blend of sophisticated design, unmatched amenities, and a community-oriented lifestyle. This project is a testament to our dedication to providing unparalleled experiences for our residents."

Nautique has been built around an in-house Vault House Group dining and workspace venue, which will be located on the ground floor of the project.

Buyers will also receive a 12-month exclusive membership to the Vault House Group including stunning venues such as the Berrima Vault House, and the recently opened Clarence Vault Rooms.

David Highland, CEO of Highland Property Group, says the membership offers residents access to a world of refined socialising and signature events, granting residents access to speakeasy bars, private dining and co-share workspaces within the Vault Rooms.

"When you buy a Nautique apartment, you also get a one-year membership to The Vault House Group, which is one of Sydney's most exclusive members-only clubs," Highland says.

"We want buyers to realise that they're not just purchasing a home; they're investing in a unique lifestyle and experience that you won't find elsewhere in the market."

Residents will also have access to a 24/7 concierge service and two shared branded cars.

“In my view, Nautique’s residents will receive nothing short of the epitome of some of the most luxurious premium living in Sydney located on Rushcutters Bay Park and moments to Sydney Harbour with spectacular harbour views, state of the art amenities, an exclusive club membership and an unparalleled return on their investment,” Highland added.

“When you seamlessly pair a premium location of this caliber with the highest standard of residential design, it becomes hard to conceive a more enjoyable home than a Nautique residence.”

JDH Capital are also working on the redevelopment of the well known Sirius building in The Rocks.
