Australia’s Pinnacle of Luxury: The Most Expensive Properties

Australia’s property market has been on a meteoric rise, with record-breaking sales and jaw-dropping price tags. 

From opulent mansions to prime commercial spaces, here’s a glimpse into the most expensive properties Down Under.

Residential Royalty

One Sydney Harbour, Sydney ($140 Million)

• This in-construction tower at Barangaroo South is set to redefine luxury living. A local buyer secured the top three floors — both the two-storey penthouse and the sub-penthouse — for a staggering $140 million. Completion is expected in late 2023.

Fairwater, Point Piper ($100 Million)

• Tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes and his wife Annie made history in 2018 by purchasing Fairwater. The 1.12-hectare estate, once owned by the Fairfax family, boasts Sydney Harbour views and ended more than a century of family ownership.

Edgewater, Point Piper ($95 Million)

• With a rare 40-metre harbour frontage directly facing the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, Edgewater sold for $95 million in 2020. Its blue-ribbon locale makes it a true gem.

Retail Riches

Chadstone Shopping Centre, Melbourne ($2.5 Billion)

• Australia’s largest shopping centre, Chadstone, is a retail powerhouse. Its luxury boutiques, high-end brands, and entertainment offerings attract shoppers from around the world.

Industrial Icons

Port Botany, Sydney (Undisclosed)

• In 2019, the New South Wales government leased Port Botany to a consortium led by IFM Investors for 99 years. While the exact price remains undisclosed, it’s undoubtedly one of Australia’s most valuable industrial assets.

Historical Context

• The total value of residential dwellings in Australia rose to $9.9 trillion in 2021, with a mean price of $920,100.
• Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane have seen significant price growth over the last year, with Sydney leading the charge at 26.7%.

Australia’s property market continues to dazzle investors, both local and global. 

Whether it’s a waterfront mansion, a bustling retail hub, or an industrial stronghold, these properties redefine luxury and prestige.
