Kurraba Point

Sydney-based property developer Avance is making significant progress with their latest project <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/merrinda-85-kurraba-road-kurraba-point">Merrinda</a>, located in the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/kurraba-point-nsw">sought-after Kurraba Point</a> on Sydney's Harbour.

With a strong focus on design and a track record of successful projects, Avance is poised to deliver a limited collection of prestigious residences that offer both luxury and functionality.

Sydney-based construction firm MLP Co is currently building the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/merrinda-85-kurraba-road-kurraba-point">PBD Architects-designed building</a> on Kurraba Road.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/merrinda-85-kurraba-road-kurraba-point">Merrinda</a> comprises 14 exclusive residences, ranging in size from 130 sqm to 425 sqm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=23292 project_image_fid=161978]

Each residence showcases the meticulous attention to detail that PBD Architects are known for, with top-level apartments boasting harbour views, and garden residences featuring their own private tropical oasis. The emphasis on open, light, and efficient layouts ensures that living spaces are maximised for both purpose and comfort.

Great care in selecting the material palette for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/merrinda-85-kurraba-road-kurraba-point">Merrinda</a> has been taken to ensure that the proposed development seamlessly integrates with the surrounding context.

The primary elevation facing Kurraba Road exhibits varied expressions, thoughtfully designed to complement the adjacent contributory heritage item and the three listed heritage dwellings opposite. The use of neutral brick colour, textured charcoal paint walls, and low sandstone retaining walls along the front boundaries pay homage to the surrounding neighbourhood.

The interiors are adorned with natural stone, coupled with Miele and Gaggenau appliances, Astra Walker tapware and Villeroy and Boch ceramics.

Residents will also benefit from a cellar lounge, providing not only a social space within the development, but the capacity for 8,000 bottles of wine for even the most enthusiastic wine collector.&nbsp;

Location-wise, Merrinda offers the best of both worlds. Situated just 200 metres from Kurraba Point Wharf, residents can easily access public transportation, making commuting a breeze, while the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/neutral-bay-nsw">vibrant Neutral Bay village</a>, with its array of cafes and amenities, is only moments away.

The <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw">proximity to the CBD</a>, a mere nine-minute drive, further enhances the appeal of the development.

The remaining three-bedroom apartments, with two bathrooms and one car space, are priced from&nbsp;$3,875,000.

Construction underway at Merrinda, Kurraba Point apartment development

Melbourne developer PB &amp; Co have revealed plans for their prime Sydney harbourfront development site they bought for $60 million over 18 months ago.

PB &amp; Co, led by founders Alex Bragilevsky and Michael Pesochinsky, have been working with Koichi Takada Architects to create what the architecture firm call a "highly sustainable and innovative luxury residential development on a once-in-a-generation site on the Sydney Harbour."

The massive 4,200 sqm block at 184b-190 Kurraba Road will essentially be carved up into quarters, and will home four different residential buildings.

Pesochinsky, who is the company's Executive Chairman and CEO, said&nbsp;PB &amp; Co is delighted to lodge plans for Kurraba Point.

"We are renowned for creating timeless residences and unforgettable experiences in the most prestigious streets of Melbourne, however after a robust search we secured Kurraba Point to launch our first Sydney development and plan for this to be the first of many,"&nbsp;Pesochinsky said.

"Kurraba Point will be another example of PB &amp; Co solidifying our place in luxury residential market whilst we strive to ensure sustainability is at our core. Kurraba Point will be one of the few developments in the area awarded a 6 Star Green Star."

There will be just six luxury apartments, four three-bed and two four-bed apartments, on the street side of the block. They've been tiered to overlook Shell Cove. Then closer to the water will be four dual occupancy residences.&nbsp;

The two four-level apartment buildings will have a communal space on the lower ground level, opening to a terrace.

The three-bedroom apartments will start from 192 sqm and feature dedicated wine rooms, butler's pantry's, a multi-purpose room, and water-facing balconies.

The two four-bedroom apartments crown the top two floors in each building and are wrapped in extensive terraces on both levels.

The dual occupancy buildings sit behind the apartment buildings, on the land sloping down toward the water. They each have three bedrooms and a private rooftop with plunge pools and outdoor barbecue kitchens.

Koichi Takada Architects say in the design verification statement submitted to the North Sydney Council that they have "designed a one-of-a-kind development with the highest sustainable outcomes."

"The overall vision is for a transformative project which embodies the idea of ‘regenerative luxury,’ inspiring a zero-carbon lifestyle for it’s residents," the design statement read.

"This project will lead the way in the luxury housing market and support the New South Wales state government objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

"The design features four sculptural, low-rise buildings which are contextually appropriate and respond to the local character of the area but also look towards future ways of living."

<img alt="Kurraba Point" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9b57834d-7df7-4ef1-b290-d81d86e177ed" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-14%20at%2010.16.22%20am.png?VersionId=GVMcQnEcd5WAeu69N6782QZiPrD8walI" />

They note that the project is designed to be carbon neutral, not just in design, but also in operations.

"The building form makes use of passive design strategies and technology to respond to the unique environmental conditions on the harbour. All energy needed to power the buildings will be generated on-site through rooftop solar farms and an underground geothermal energy system which provides heat and generates electricity," the architecture firm stated.

"Rainwater will be collected for irrigation of planted areas and building management systems will control, monitor and maximise building performance. Integrated shading structures control solar access while maintaining views and privacy. Local, sustainable materials will undergo a full life cycle assessment and there will be adequate charging provisions for electric vehicles and bicycles, extending the sustainability benefits of the project far beyond the bounds of the site."

The development is PB &amp; Co's first venture in Sydney, having primarily focused on luxury projects in Melbourne's most affluent suburbs.

They have a solid pipeline in Bayside Brighton and Toorak, the latter the Point Piper of Sydney.

Sydney’s latest harbourfront development, Kurraba Residences, saw 70 per cent of the project sold on launch last weekend.  

16 apartments within the 24-resident collection sold, with another five buyers currently in negotiations.  

Developed by Thirdi group and Phoenix Property Investors, the $170 million development at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/kurraba-residences-147-kurraba-road-kurraba-point">147 Kurraba Road</a> offers two and three-bedroom luxury harbourfront residences.  

Located on the headland of Kurraba Point, the residences offer 180-degree views of the harbour, including Sydney Opera House and the Botanical Gardens.  

<a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kurraba_apt_dev_interior1_1200x550_1200x550.jpg" rel="gallery-all"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="266" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/kurraba_apt_dev_interior1_1200x550_1200x550.jpg?itok=7-umNVC1" width="580"></a>

Designed by SJB Architects and Mathieson Architects, the building pays homage to the classic 1920s apartment buildings of the area. 

Its other features include outdoor balconies, a pool, semi-circular windows, and curved brickwork.  

<img alt="" height="525" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kurraba.jpg" width="1000">

According to CBRE’s Ben Stewart, who is marketing the listing, almost all buyers were owner-occupiers, and included a range of demographics from young professionals to downsizers.  

“We believe Kurraba Residences will continue to appreciate in value while under construction, as seen with other landmark Sydney Harbour developments such as Opera Residences”, he said.  

Opera Residences has seen recent re-sales increasing 20 per cent on the purchase price over the construction period.  

“This a great outcome for early buyers because their property will now be in more demand from those who waited until completion”, Stewart said.  

The Kurraba project is expected to reach completion in late 2022.
