The Rushcutters Sets New Standard for Whole-Floor Living as Amalgamation Trend Gains Momentum

Third.i Group 3 mins read

Sydney’s luxury apartment market is evolving, and Thirdi Group’s latest development, The Rushcutters, is leading the charge. In partnership with NPACT, Thirdi has seen overwhelming interest in this Rushcutters Bay project, underscoring a surging demand for premium, house-sized apartments in the city’s most coveted inner suburbs.

 

Positioned just moments from the harbour foreshore, The Rushcutters offers a rare opportunity for downsizers and discerning buyers to secure whole-floor residences in one of the city’s most tightly held locations. The early interest in the project reflects a broader market trend: a shift toward house-sized apartments that deliver the convenience of lock-up-and-leave living, paired with the amenity and connectivity of urban apartment life.

 

“We’ve been absolutely blown away by the level of interest in The Rushcutters,” said Luke Berry, Director and Co-founder Thirdi Group. “It’s clear that buyers are seeking more than just a place to live, they’re looking for a lifestyle upgrade. The ability to amalgamate apartments into expansive, whole-floor homes is a game-changer for downsizers who want space without the maintenance of a traditional house.”

 

Gavin Rubinstein, Founder of The Rubinstein Group, said, “It’s no surprise that if you’re downsizing from a five-bedroom house in Bellevue Hill, for example, you want to maintain that sense of space and luxury when looking for your next home.  

 

“The Rushcutters is a great fit. Amalgamating apartments to create a bespoke, whole-floor home is a natural progression for buyers who aren’t willing to compromise on size and/or quality.”

 

The Rubinstein Group’s James Nixon and Christian Jones are the local agents appointed to sell The Rushcutters, alongside Hume Residential. JLL’s Freya Watson, Harri Williams-Jones and Patrick Yi are the listed international agent for The Rushcutters.

 

This trend isn’t unique to Rushcutters Bay. Thirdi is seeing similar buyer behaviour across its other premium developments, including Elevate Hume Place in Crows Nest and Muse Potts Point. A record was set recently at Elevate Hume Place in Crows Nest with the $15.1 million sale of an amalgamated penthouse and sub-penthouse.

 

“We’re witnessing a clear shift towards more amalgamations in a number of our projects across Sydney,” said Jason Fraser, Principal at Woods Bagot. “The ability to combine apartments is enabling buyers to create truly unique, house-sized residences with high-end finishes, and proximity to vibrant urban precincts.

 

“The desire to amalgamate apartments to bespoke, house-sized residences is becoming a defining feature of Sydney’s evolving luxury apartment market,” he concluded.

 

However, due to the City of Sydney’s no net dwelling loss policy, Thirdi is only able to offer one level for amalgamation at The Rushcutters, combining two apartments into a single, expansive residence. With interest already exceeding expectations, this unique opportunity is expected to be secured quickly.

 

Beyond its strategic location and spacious layouts, The Rushcutters is distinguished by its refined design and architectural excellence by renowned architects, Woods Bagot. The building’s façade blends contemporary elegance with timeless materials, while interiors are crafted to evoke a sense of calm sophistication. Each residence features generous living spaces, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and curated finishes that reflect the project’s commitment to quality and detail.

 

Residents will also enjoy access to premium amenities, including secure parking, private outdoor terraces, and seamless connectivity to Sydney’s CBD, parks, and waterfront. The development is designed to support a lifestyle of ease, luxury, and connection, perfect for those transitioning from traditional homes to a more flexible, urban way of living.

 

The display suite opens on 25 October, offering prospective buyers an immersive experience of the design, finishes, and lifestyle on offer at The Rushcutters.

Everybody’s Home backs reported end to CGT discount

National housing campaign Everybody’s Home is encouraged by reports the Albanese Government is leaning towards scrapping the capital gains tax discount on property and returning to the pre-1999 system. Media reports today suggest Treasurer Jim Chalmers is considering returning to the original way of taxing capital gains on homes instead of reducing the current 50 per cent discount on capital gains. Everybody's Home spokesperson Maiy Azize said the move would be a turning point for housing affordability and fairness. "Scrapping the CGT discount would be one of the most positive steps any government has taken on housing in a generation,"…
