Penthouse apartments in Elizabeth Bay, with their outlook across the boat-laden harbour, are a popular catch.
The latest sale crowns the 1970s Onslow Avenue apartment complex Tradewinds.
The living spaces are wrapped in wall to wall windows and a balcony that spans the entire width of the building.
The apartment has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a Japanese-style main tub and monsoon shower in the main bathroom. A stone and stainless steel kitchen with European fitout joins the living spaces.
Since it last traded for $2.13 million in 2008, there's been an upper level architect-designed extension, comprising a study and second sitting room wrapped in glass which opens to the roof deck and surrounding gardens.

The apartment, atop the Burley Katon Halliday-designed block, dates back two decades. It has five bedrooms and six bathrooms across its 425 square metres of internal space.

Apartment price per square metre data is one of the key criteria that valuers and economists look for when reviewing property prices and trends.
Over recent times, the actual apartment size has become a mild influencer among buyers, especially off-the-plan, who have embraced the purchasing reckoner common in other global cities.

Lendlease officially announced a $140 million sale of a dual key penthouse in its One Sydney Harbour tower at Barangaroo South on the weekend.
The price reflected a record $100,000 per sqm-plus for the 1000sqm internal space within the two-floor penthouse. The lower 600sqm sub-penthouse component, plus car spaces et al, works out at about $66,000 per sqm.
The prior record was <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/62030-26-million-circular-quay-penthouse-sale-in-57-million-swoop" target="_blank">$95,000 in the 2016 sale of two Opera Residences penthouses</a>, currently being built on Macquarie St.

These stellar prices don’t quite match Hong Kong and Monaco sales.
Sydney’s cheapest sale at the weekend was a $470,000 Parramatta unit — which was $5300 per sqm.
Tower 1 is the tallest of three buildings in the One Sydney Harbour development, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano.

Lend Lease secured approval in 2017. Planning records show Tower 1 is set to be 247 metres high with 317 apartments approved over 72 levels.

The penthouse on the top level of Domain Park, designed by the celebrated architect Robin Boyd in the 1960s, has sold for $7.6 million, reflecting $46,000 per square metre.
The unrenovated 20th level apartment, which had a reserve of $5.1 million, sold at $44,000 per square metre as two bidders battled it out at its recent private auction.
Marshall White Stonnington agents Dean Gilbert and Mark Harris had a $4.55 million to $5,005,000 guide.
The Domain Park Flats was the first apartment building Boyd designed.
At the time it completed, it was the tallest residential building in Victoria.
The first residents of Domain Park Flats moved in in 1962.
The north-west facing apartment with views over the Botanic Gardens to Albert Park Lake features the original separate kitchen.
There are three bedrooms and just the one bathroom.
Buyers agent Mal James advised he "couldn’t see the freight at $5,000,000".
"$5,000,000 meant the asking price for the shell only was $30,300 per square metres for the 165 square metres," James advised.
"It’s not worth $30,300 per square metre when the best brand new apartments are trying it on at $25,000 per square metre."

The penthouse was set to go to Cooley Auction last night, but was withdrawn with auctioneer Damien Cooley advising the near empty auction room that there had been "offer and acceptance."
No sale price advisory was given on the offering which was listed with $14 million hopes by Clint Ballard at Ballard Property Group.

The apartment, atop the Burley Katon Halliday-designed block, dates back two decades. It has five bedrooms and six bathrooms across its 425 sqm of internal space.
It features 375 sqm of wrap around balconies and terraces with views over the boat-filled harbour.
The development was completed in the late 1990s after East Asia Property Group paid $8.5 million for Cardigan, the waterfront mansion of solicitor Cedric Symonds and his socialite wife Elizabeth.
They knocked down the building in 1996 and replaced it with a six apartment development with a pool and private jetty.
The penthouse first traded for $7.1 million in 2001, three years after its completion. It was bought by David Wilkenfield, a ballet clothing manufacturer.

He doubled his money in five years, selling for $14 million in 2006 to Hal Herron, the former Deutsche banker.
Herron wasn't so lucky however and sold at a $2 million loss, selling to Investec Bank chairman David Gonski for $12 million in 2012.
Gonski only held the apartment for two years before its $12.5 million in 2014 sale.
The last sale in the tightly held block was three years ago when Anthony Hourigan and Monique D'Arcy Irvine from the recruitment company, Hourigan International, bought the third level apartment for $7 million.

Chinese billionaire Zetian Zhang, also known as “Sister Milk Tea”, has taken a $2.7 million loss on her prized three-level 598sq m penthouse atop the Stamford Residences in Gloucester Street, The Rocks.
The leasehold penthouse was reportedly offloaded through Richard Shalhoub, of Sydney Sotheby’s, who had overseen the marketing price adjustment to $15 million late last year.
However despite the January 17 settlement, <a href="https://www.sothebysrealty.com/eng/sales/detail/180-l-84001-reqys2/28a-171-gloucester-street-sydney-sydney-sw" target="_blank">the listing</a> for 28A/171 Gloucester Street still mysteriously appears as for sale on the agency website.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/1/23/Sothebys-Tea.jpg" alt="">
Standard industry practice is that a property that has sold is then either moved to sold or removed from the listing website within 72 hours, as being kept in the buy section of websites is commonly viewed as a breach of the acceptable industry policy.   
The settlement paperwork obtained by Property Observer indicates it sold for $13.5 million to hotelier Ramy Arnaout and his wife Nadia, under a company name.

After purchasing it for $16.2 million in April 2015, Zetian, the wife of e-commerce billionaire Richard Liu, initially put the penthouse on the market with an $18 million price tag in mid-2017.

The final penthouse at luxury Roseville development, The Uptown, a joint venture between Chinese developers CWG Development and Longton Capital, has achieved the highest apartment sale price in the suburb for nearly two and a half years.
The $1.845 million sale saw a local North Shore buyer snap up the three-bedroom, three-bathroom fourth-floor penthouse residence.
Located at 1-31 Victoria St, Roseville, The Uptown is a medium-density development comprising 220 apartments across six buildings set on 1.3 hectares.
The sale confirms the ongoing interest from local owner-occupiers in The Uptown, according to Winnie Pi, Executive Director of Longton Capital.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/09/14/The%20Uptown%20-%20Penthouse%202.jpg" alt="">
“With its location in Roseville, The Uptown is close to many great north shore schools, in Chatswood, Roseville, Lindfield and Pymble, and this has been a key motivator for buyers in the area,” she said.
“In addition, the fact that The Uptown is located right near Roseville train station, and only one stop from Chatswood for shopping and dining, means it is perfectly situated for a range of owner-occupier buyers.”
The penthoused featured a raised ceiling section called The Clerestory, which gives an added feeling of space.
“With heights ranging from approximately 3100mm to 3400mm, these raised ceilings set the penthouses apart and make them a highly sought-after option for buyers seeking something extra.”
Jennifer Loh, Head of Sales &amp; Marketing for CWG Development, said buyers could secure the remaining 10 apartments ahead of the project’s pending delivery date in November.
Of the remaining apartments at The Uptown, one-bedroom plus study configurations are available from $860,000, while two bedrooms start from $1,210,000.
The project was designed by MD+A Architects and with interiors by Archer + Wright.
