Having worked in residential sales in Sydney CBD since 2007 I have had first-hand opportunity to sell in many fabulous city developments. With this experience I hope it allows me to share valuable insights with prospective buyers. I have no doubt that York and George will join the exclusive short list as one of the city’s most in demand and prestigious developments. Considering it is a brand-new building the lack of available stock for sale is testament to this, it represents the epitome of CBD living at its best.
There is an overwhelming argument that this top floor residence situated on level 38 has the most coveted position within the entire building on the north west corner.
Perfectly framed by the floor to ceiling windows this home benefits from panoramic northerly views across the city and spectacular westerly views over Darling Harbour being the perfect vantage point to watch the weekly fireworks and beyond all the way to the Blue Mountains. The fortunate buyer will have the benefit of water glimpses and by being so elevated above the city this home has the feeling of privacy.
However, short list status into the exclusive club requires an extra special element. York and George ticks many aspirational buyers’ boxes but, in my opinion, it’s the combination of these but most prominently its location.
A once in a lifetime opportunity; it would be incredibly hard for a developer to amalgamate three commercial buildings in such a prominent city location again.
Without question it is in the very heart of the city, it has an urban vibe which is hard to replicate. Quite literally outside your front door is the Apple Store, Westfield, Pitt Street Mall, Strand Arcade and minutes to QVB, Town Hall, Martin Place and David Jones to name just a few. There are some of Sydney’s finest restaurants, cafes and entertainment hubs, galleries as well as the open green spaces like Hyde Park just moments away.
This beautiful light filled three-bedroom home benefits from a 125 square metre floor plan and engineered timber floors. A balanced mix of indoor and outdoor living with features stone bench-tops in the kitchen, Miele appliances including oven, rangehood, microwave and dishwasher not to mention three generous bedrooms all with built-ins.
Connectivity is simply unrivalled – Sydney’s upcoming new Light Rail is right at your door along with bus and train stations at either Town Hall or Wynyard. It also Boasts dual George Street and York Street pedestrian access.
Comprehensive amenities and facilities as you would expect for an apartment of this calibre. These include a private lobby on level 6 serviced by concierge and on-site building management, small gymnasium, 20 metre outdoor pool overlooking George Street, sauna, spa and sky garden.
There is also stacker parking for one car on basement level 2, one of just twelve parking spaces in the entire building.
Those who originally purchased in York and George have waited patiently for six years for it to come to fruition after being launched back in 2013, I imagine all purchasers they are thrilled with their decision.
