One Sydney Harbour and One Circular Quay offer a rare chance to become an integral part of the Sydney Harbour story with a legacy address.
The three towers of One Sydney Harbour, designed by internationally renowned architect Renzo Piano, mark the culmination of Barangaroo South’s decade-long transformation. The remarkable residential development offers ethereal, crystalline residences that seamlessly blend with Sydney Harbour’s iconic waterfront, at times appearing to float in the air.
One Sydney Harbour comprises 799 luxury apartments, including spacious units and penthouses. Project Director Daniel Baxter emphasises the Lendlease commitment to creating a community of residents who appreciate world-class amenities and incredible views.
“One Sydney Harbour is designed to be at a new level of luxury for Australia and was benchmarked at an international level,” he says. “We hold the record for the highest residential sale in Australia at over $140 million for the penthouse. But most notably, we’ve had consistent and strong demand across all product types at One Sydney Harbour.”

“This is a globally significant project for Lendlease,” Daniel adds. “It’s the highest level of luxury we’ve set out to accomplish. Our brand is built on landmark projects like this.”
One Circular Quay is another world-class residential tower set in a superb location – the heart of Sydney’s historic Circular Quay. The development features 158 luxury residences, with 99 per cent of apartments offering prized north-facing views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.
Lendlease acquired the site in 2022 and inherited the architectural design from the esteemed Kerry Hill Architects.
“We then set about putting our own stamp on the interiors,” says Daniel Gonzalez, Senior Development Manager. He highlights the project’s focus on leveraging the Opera House and Harbour Bridge views to deliver a premium address for those seeking luxury apartments in the Sydney CBD.
“The building itself and its facade came with a pre-determined vision, so we focused on the internals of the apartments. We’ve worked with Daniel Goldberg and his team at State of Craft for a decade now. Their work at One Sydney Harbour was extremely successful, so there was no question for us as to who was going to do the interiors at One Circular Quay.”
“We do simple things inside our apartments that make a big difference,” Daniel says. “For example, the doors on your wardrobe aren’t 18 millimetres thick, which is the standard, but 25 millimetres thick. We add touches that make our apartments feel more premium and luxurious.”
The design phase of One Circular Quay and One Sydney Harbour was a meticulous process that balanced aesthetic appeal with functionality.
One Circular Quay features a sandstone base reflecting Sydney’s local context and history. Daniel Gonzalez says more than 30 different types of natural stone were used in construction, adding to each apartment’s uniqueness.
“I think Kerry Hill was very much inspired by having this sandstone base in the building.”
“For the interiors, Daniel Goldberg was very inspired by the natural curves of the Sydney Harbour foreshore. So our interiors feature a lot of subtle curves and nice rounded edges, reflecting inside the apartment what people are seeing when they look out at the view.”
“We have stone detailing in the floors and walls, such as custom slab marble. I think the beauty of natural stone is its uniqueness. No two bathrooms will ever be identical. Each slab is almost like a natural work of art.”
“Meanwhile, One Sydney Harbour’s design, influenced by the interplay of water and light, features a crystalline facade with ultra-transparent low-iron glazing and triple-glazed units. Renzo Piano envisioned the towers as a collection of crystals, capturing and reflecting light to create a dynamic visual experience.”
The buildings’ geometry maximises views of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and Blue Mountains, integrating seamlessly with the surrounding urban environment. In addition, over 20 types of natural stone were used throughout the development, along with the highest-quality timber craftsmanship.
Both projects faced unique challenges and milestones during their construction phases. One Circular Quay, acquired with an existing development approval, required modifications to the original plans to meet Lendlease’s standards of luxury.
In contrast, One Sydney Harbour, with its ambitious scale and design, required managing multiple high-rise towers simultaneously. Daniel Baxter notes the team successfully managed the challenges of coordinating up to 1500 workers on site and dealing with issues such as COVID-19 disruptions, supply chain delays, and inclement weather.
“The scale of One Sydney Harbour is significant. At one point, we had 170 floors under construction at the same time. It’s a multi-billion dollar project,” he says. Despite these hurdles, the project team’s dedication ensured the successful realisation of Renzo Piano’s vision.
As One Sydney Harbour reaches completion in 2024, the first residents to buy off the plan in Sydney’s most extraordinary location are moving into their new homes, enjoying world-class amenities such as indoor and outdoor pools, private dining spaces, resident lounges, a gym and outdoor terraces.
One Circular Quay is set to welcome its first residents in late 2026, with its prestigious location and luxurious design promising an unparalleled living experience. The project’s focus on quality, exclusivity and unique design elements ensures it stands out in Sydney’s competitive property market.
Daniel Gonzalez says, “We took all our experience from building One Sydney Harbour and used it to create One Circular Quay as a new landmark address in Australia, which was one of our key visions. It’s more than just a residence; it’s a generation statement and a trophy asset that can be passed on through generations. It’s never to be repeated.”
One Circular Quay and One Sydney Harbour are redefining luxury for discerning clients who seek to buy a luxury apartment in Sydney. These developments showcase Lendlease’s commitment to creating high-quality communities that respect their iconic locations. As these projects continue to set new benchmarks in residential architecture, they highlight our role as a leader in the market, delivering exceptional living experiences that blend thoughtful design with convenience, style and luxury.
