First look inside Mosman Residences as Abadeen prepares to complete boutique apartment development

Buyers will be able to step inside Mosman Residences for the first time this month, with developer Abadeen opening two fully furnished apartments as the boutique Lower North Shore development approaches completion.

The opening coincides with the final release of apartments in the 28-residence development, where only a handful of two- and three-bedroom apartments and the penthouse remain ahead of anticipated completion in November.

For prospective buyers, particularly those who have been following the project throughout construction, the opening provides the first opportunity to walk through the apartments and experience the proportions, natural light, finishes and storage firsthand.

Designed by PBD Architects, Mosman Residences has been developed with a focus on long-term liveability, offering a mix of apartment configurations suited to buyers looking to remain in the Lower North Shore while moving into a newer, lower-maintenance home.

Abadeen Executive Chairman and Founder Justin Brown said reaching the final stages of the project was particularly significant in a suburb where opportunities to deliver new residential supply are increasingly limited.

“Mosman is one of Sydney’s most tightly held residential markets, particularly in locations where village amenities and transport are within immediate, level access,” Brown said.

“We have been developing on the Lower North Shore for many years and our conviction in this market has only strengthened. The fundamentals are incredibly difficult to replicate – proximity to the CBD, the harbour, established villages, schools, medical care and an exceptional lifestyle.

“The challenge is that the places people most want to live are often the hardest places to create new housing.

“Completing a project like Mosman Residences is particularly significant. It is 28 new homes in an established suburb, following some 15 years of planning and construction, where new supply will be inherently limited in sought-after locations.”

The opening of the two furnished apartments is expected to be particularly relevant to Mosman and Lower North Shore downsizers who have been following the development but have been waiting until construction was nearing completion before considering a purchase.

Stone Real Estate Mosman Director Marize Bellomo said local downsizers were typically considered buyers who were prepared to wait for the right apartment rather than compromise on their next home.

“For many Mosman buyers, downsizing isn’t about leaving the area, it is about finding the right home that allows them to stay,” Bellomo said.

“Their family and friends are here, they know their favourite cafés and shops, and they value the lifestyle and community they have established over many years. They may want less maintenance, but they don’t necessarily want less quality, less space or a different postcode.

“What we consistently see is that these buyers are very clear about what they want. They are looking closely at floorplans, natural light, storage, generous living areas and how the home will function day to day. They are not necessarily in a hurry, which means the right property has to give them a compelling reason to move.”

Bellomo said being able to inspect the apartments would give buyers a much clearer understanding of what they were purchasing, particularly those considering a move from a larger family home.

“For the first time, they can now make that assessment in the actual residence rather than from a plan. They can bring family through, think about where their furniture will go and properly understand whether the home suits the way they want to live,” Bellomo said.

“With only a handful of residences remaining, including the penthouse, and completion approaching, we expect this final release to appeal strongly to buyers who have been waiting for the project to reach this stage.”

The timing also means buyers are entering the market at a different stage of the off-the-plan purchasing process. Rather than committing to an apartment several years before it is built, purchasers can now inspect the near-complete development, with settlement expected to follow shortly after completion.

Only a handful of two- and three-bedroom apartments remain available, alongside the development's penthouse.

Mosman Residences adds to Abadeen's portfolio of boutique residential projects across Sydney's Lower North Shore, which includes Park Residences in Cremorne, Northcote Collective in Naremburn, KOYO in Crows Nest and ENSO in Neutral Bay.

The developer is also progressing further projects across Mosman, Neutral Bay and the Northern Beaches as part of its broader development pipeline spanning New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.

“We know the Lower North Shore extremely well and our confidence in this market remains very strong,” Brown said.

“Great locations endure. Our focus is on finding opportunities where we can create something genuinely valuable in locations where people already want to live and where quality new housing remains difficult to deliver.”

With completion anticipated in November 2026, the final release gives buyers the opportunity to inspect Mosman Residences in its final stages of construction, with only a limited number of apartments still available.
