Leading Sydney-based property developer, JQZ, has unveiled an exclusive collection of luxury penthouses which will top their 88 by JQZ residential precinct, currently under construction at 88 Christie Street, St Leonards, on Sydney’s north shore.

The stunning release of four two-story penthouses, which will be positioned on levels 46 and 47 (220 meters above sea level), was launched to a select group of potential buyers at a lavish event on Friday evening.

The penthouses will be the jewel in the crown of JQZ’s AU$1.6-billion (US$1.2 billion) three-tower urban transformation precinct, which is set to transform the St Leonards town center and includes two residential towers of 47 and 26 stories, and one commercial tower of 15 stories, designed by PTW Architects.

With the building perched on a ridge, the four-bedroom penthouses will enjoy the highest elevation of any residences on the north shore, with stunning views over Sydney CBD, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Harbour. 

Expected to sell for over AU$10 million (US$7.5 million) each, the penthouses will be the pinnacle residences amongst 637 apartments at 88 by JQZ, with purchasers having the option to choose between two floorplans, one sized at 279sqm and the other at 318sqm. 

Designed for entertaining, standard features will include:

·       double height ceilings in living rooms

·       double-sided fireplaces between dining and living rooms

·       home cinema rooms

·       fully equipped butler’s pantries 

·       large balconies with expansive views

·       home automation systems integrating all lighting, audio visual, mechanical and security services and window furnishings 

With interiors designed by Angus Henderson from Henderson and Co., the carefully crafted penthouses will deliver a level of international design quality previously unseen on Sydney’s north shore. 

“We’ve drawn inspiration from the unparalleled views future penthouse owners will enjoy – they really will own the sky,” said Mr Henderson. 

“In fact, there’s not a higher point of living, from an altitude perspective, on the north shore until you reach the Gold Coast in Queensland.

“From their vantage point, looking back towards Sydney’s CBD, these penthouses will have one of the best views of Sydney, from the top of the Sydney basin, out through the Sydney Heads. I truly believe they will be the best views realized of Sydney – with the land dropping away so much, the shoreline becomes very pronounced.”
