New Eastern Suburb developer Toohey Miller has revealed No.1 Onslow Place, its first apartment development in Sydney's affluent Elizabeth Bay.

The project, No.1 Onslow Avenue, named after its prime location just off Arthur McElhone Reserve and a close neighbour to Elizabeth Bay House, comprises just six full-floor apartments with interiors by renowned interior designer David Hicks, the Melburnian's his first high-end project in Sydney

Tzannes Architects designed the building to bring a contemporary yet timeless design to the character of the coveted neighbourhood. The facade features distinctive curved brickwork, reminiscent of the iconic New York City art deco era.

Each apartment features natural oak, double herringbone parquetry flooring and white-honed marble. boasts views across the harbour, with four of the six having different different site aspects.

The living areas with large windows flow onto private wrap-around terraces with unobstructed views of the harbour. Four of the six apartments have two aspects.

Nick Couloumbis, Founder of Toohey Miller, said No.1 Onslow Place was designed not just as a development, but as six distinct and individual living spaces.

“Toohey Miller has curated its consultant team, bringing David Hicks’ European and International flair, combined with Tzannes’ quintessentially Australian architecture, to create an environment that resonates with the legacy of the location while offering a fresh perspective on luxury living.”

“These residences are incredibly rare given their full-floor offering and views - we liken them to a Monet or Picasso. Rarity in property equals exceptional enduring value to future owners.”

Miller says Elizabeth Bay has some of the most beautiful views of the harbour.

"Perched so high, the elevated position of No.1 Onslow Place showcases views that are nothing short of spectacular. Every residence has an incredible view, four with two aspects, so residents can enjoy the tranquility of this picturesque pocket of Sydney. With Arthur McElhone Reserve across the road, juxtaposed by the energy and amenity of Macleay Street, a cosmopolitan playground housing Sydney’s best restaurants and retail stores, Elizabeth Bay has multifaceted allure.”

The penthouse at No.1 Onslow Place spans two floors and offers 270-degree views of the ocean. Its upper level is designed for entertainment, featuring a bar and lounge that overlook the vista. The apartment also features a steam room, and its own identity in its finishes with hand-selected green onyx cladding the kitchen, bar and bathrooms. There's a pool on the rooftop.

Dangar Barin Smith's landscape design for No.1 Onslow Place complements the native context of Elizabeth Bay, with references to Arthur McElhone Reserve, harmonising the natural surroundings with the living spaces.
