AVID launches final apartments at The Rathbone, Surry Hills
Property development giant AVID Property Group is approaching completion, and sell-out, of its Surry Hills apartment development, The Rathbone.
The Flinders St project has sold well over half of its 32 apartments, which will sit above two retail spaces.
Now hitting the market are the final 14 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, which start from $1.15 million. AVID is targeting a mid-2026 completion.
AVID General Manager New South Wales Danny Boubli said as more apartments are introduced to increase housing options in inner-city areas, homebuyers are searching for a sense of belonging in addition to location, convenience and value.
“There are very few opportunities for new developments in Surry Hills, and since acquiring the site, we’ve even seen one early purchaser merge two apartments plans together, reflecting the demand for a spacious, premium offering in a prime location,” Boubli said.
“Demand has been strong since we launched to market – we don’t see these final apartments staying on the market for long.”
Architectural firm Studio SC has designed the building which pays homage to the former 1900s Rathbone Terraces that once sat on the 990 sqm island site.
Boubil said the team has made every effort to create "truly liveable apartments", through functional floor plans, security, storage, and the inclusion of quality fittings.
Sustainable design has also been implemented throughout the development, with natural light flooding each apartment, ventilation throughout, extensive landscaping and where possible, materials with a high level of recycled content and low volatile organic compound paints have been used.
Apartments range in size from 57 sqm for the one-bedrooms to the large-scale 165 sqm three-beds which are priced at $2,575,000.
