When a mystery buyer paid an estimated $140 million for a living space in the One Sydney Harbour development in October, it set a record price for real estate in Australia. It also represented the denouement of the luxury high-rise trend throughout the country’s capital cities and resort areas of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. The three buildings of the Renzo Piano-designed One Sydney Harbour complex are scheduled to open in 2023.
The record-setting residence will compromise a two-storey penthouse and another penthouse, totalling nine bedrooms and about 1600 square metres. A news release from Lendlease highlighted the private rooftop pool, spa, gym, and master bedroom “bigger than most homes.” Whilst this may be the most lavish example, it is hardly alone as luxury high-rises begin to dominate the skyline.
RESORT LIFE
These luxury high-rise developments are characterised by the amenities they offer. OSK Property’s Melbourne Square in Southbank will feature a 3700-square metre park and resort-style pool. The $2.8 billion project will also boast a Skye Club, theatre, golf simulator, and private meeting and dining rooms.
“The whole aim was to provide amenities where people can get to know their neighbours, really foster a sense of community within the building and create this amazing health and wellbeing development that’s anchored by the park at the front of the site,” interior designer Chris McCue told Domain.
Waterloo Mastery, a $500 million luxury high-rise development from Crown Group will have 374 apartments across five buildings when it opens in 2021. It “will provide Sydneysiders an option to live in the finest holiday resort destination, in the most sought-after architectural precinct, at an affordable price,” project director Prisca Edwards told the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

How To Clean Up - Sanitary Franchises To Invest In
It’s a tangible part of this new world we’ve entered after emerging from lockdown. You can smell it in corridors and in shops, and it’s a selling point for hotels reopening. Cleanliness is godliness now, and there is a high demand for sanitary services for the foreseeable future. That makes a cleaning franchise a promising business opportunity. These companies offer it.

SOFT OPENING - CONSUMER CONFIDENCE A KEY FACTOR IN RECOVERY
As states and territories reopened their economies in various phases throughout May and June, it became clear that simply being open is not enough to get firing on all cylinders again. First, there are safety regulations limiting how many patrons a business can serve at a time. Just as important is consumer confidence. If shoppers don’t feel safe visiting a business, they’re not going to, and there’s no forcing them. Some services requiring intimate personal contact have an even harder time with this. Just because someone can get a massage doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with it.

COMING OUT OF OUR CAVES - LIFE IN PUBLIC AS RESTRICTIONS EASE
The pubs reopened to great rejoicing and some free beer as coronavirus restrictions eased across Australia, although unfortunately, it was too late for millions of litres of suds that had to be tipped down the drain. It was strange to be out, but it felt good once you got used to it. Rules vary by state and territory, but over the past several weeks, Aussies have been able to dine out, go to holiday homes, and gather in small groups once more. Lockdown isn’t lockdown anymore, but that doesn’t mean “normal” is back. Here’s where things stand.
