A jaw-dropping penthouse in Crows Nest has officially hit the market – and it’s being hailed as one of the finest apartments ever offered on the lower north shore.

Positioned atop the newly completed Koyo development by Abadeen, the 495sqm full-floor residence blends luxury, privacy and stunning views in a leafy pocket just footsteps from the bustling village.

“With expansive indoor-outdoor living, sweeping views, and hand-selected finishes, it’s a residence that redefines apartment living in Crows Nest,” Matthew Smythe from Belle Property told Mosman Collective.

Designed by Koichi Takada Architects, the $85 million boutique project comprises just 27 homes and has largely sold out, with only four world-class apartments remaining.

“We’re incredibly proud of how Koyo has come together,” Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, Justin Brown, said.

“From the architectural design to the detailing in each apartment, the finished product has resonated strongly with our buyers. It’s been especially rewarding to see interest from local families and downsizers who value quality, space and connection to the lower north shore lifestyle.”

Richard Storey, Director at Koichi Takada Architects said “sustainability and connection” are core themes of Koyo, with features like LED lighting, solar panels, seamless indoor-outdoor design and shared spaces created to bring residents together.

“We deliberately designed communal areas, like the rooftop BBQ and dining area, to foster a sense of community,” Storey said. “There’s a real village feel here.”

That feeling extends into the surrounding suburb. With a newly opened Metro Station and ongoing government investment into public space and infrastructure, Crows Nest is undergoing a transformation. Its cafes, boutique shopping and walkable streets make it one of Sydney’s most desirable postcodes.

“Koyo’s location offers the best of both worlds – quiet, leafy living with unmatched connectivity to the city and surrounding lifestyle precincts,” Mr Brown said.
