How Apex Investment Alliance Helped Deliver Australia’s Most Expensive Residence Sale
At Apex Investment Alliance, we've always held the perspective that strong connections, in-depth market knowledge, and a desire to work at the pinnacle of Australia's prestigious real estate industry produces world-class outcomes. When we were instrumental in the sale of what is now officially Australia's most expensive home, a collection of ultra-luxury penthouses worth over $140 million in Tower 1 of One Sydney Harbour, that philosophy became a reality.
This milestone was more than just a transaction that broke records. It was a turning point for Apex, proving our ability to lead wealthy customers through historic purchases that influence the direction of the luxury real estate market in Australia.
Understanding the Opportunity: A Once-in-a-Generation Residence
Tower 1 of One Sydney Harbour, created by internationally recognized architect Renzo Piano, is the height of opulence. The tower's upper levels served as the development's crown, providing an unparalleled scale:
A penthouse with two stories and lofty eight-meter ceilings
Below it is a full-floor sub-penthouse.
More than 1,600 square meters of custom living
An entrance fit for an international trophy residence, a private rooftop pool, a spa, and a gym
This property was one of the most sought-after opportunities in Australia even before construction started due to its prime location, architecture, privacy, and prestige.

How Apex Became Involved
Our client, an Australian resident and longtime Apex investor, wanted a home that was more than just a place to live; it needed to be a statement of architectural significance, a long-term generational base, and an enduring asset.
Apex facilitated the entire journey:
1. Priority Access to an Unrivaled Property
Through decades of developer relationships and our active role in the premium new-build market, Apex secured early visibility into Tower 1’s offering. This enabled our client to take decisive action on a unique opportunity that was not widely available to the market.
2. Senior Counseling During a Complicated Purchase
This kind of transaction necessitates strategic planning. Apex gave specifics:
Analysis of comparative markets
Capital growth forecasting
previews in private with the project team
Support for structural, legal, and architectural due diligence
From layout efficiency to long-term livability and future value, our team made sure the client understood every element.
3. Deal Coordination & Negotiation
In order to secure the penthouse and sub-penthouse in one line, Apex managed a systematic negotiation process that brought together a number of stakeholders, including developer representatives, legal teams, architects, and financial advisors. The result was a multi-level residence that is unlike anything else in Australia.
