Third.i Group and NPACT launch The Rushcutters

Third.i Group and joint venture partner NPACT has unveiled its luxury new apartment development, The Rushcutters, offering prospective apartment buyers a rare opportunity to buy brand new into one of Sydney's most tightly-held Harbourside suburbs.

The Rushcutters received approval before the City of Sydney’s No Net Dwelling Loss rule took effect in May 2025, which puts tighter constraints on developers mandating that any new development on a site cannot result in fewer dwellings than were previously on the land, ensuring that redevelopment maintains or increases housing stock. The expectation is this will make boutique development, like The Rushcutters, difficult to reproduce.

The development will comprise 12 two- and three-bedroom apartments, and one full-floor penthouse. They range in size from over 120 sqm to nearly 200 sqm. It will sit conveniently between the water at Rushcutters Bay and the cosmopolitan suburb of Potts Point, renowned for its dining, boutique shopping, and cafes, all while being just 200m from the Kings Cross entertainment precinct.

With exterior and interior architecture by award-winning architects Woods Bagot, The Rushcutters honours the Art Deco heritage of the local area while blending natural beauty with contemporary sophistication. 

Residences capture north-west and north-east vistas through open-plan layouts, private balconies, and a communal rooftop terrace offering panoramic views. Interiors feature stone, timber, and brass finishes, premium Wolf and Miele kitchens, and spa-like bedrooms and bathrooms.

Luke Berry, Co-Founder of Third.i Group, said The Rushcutters captures the perfect balance of city-centre energy and harbourside serenity.

"It’s a rare project that combines location, lifestyle, and timeless design that people will aspire to be part of. Beautiful for residents and the community alike, it will create a lasting legacy for Rushcutters Bay," Berry said.

"We expect it will attract downsizers, rightsizers, and those seeking an exclusive opportunity in the inner-east, and it stands among the best projects we’ve ever delivered.”

Jason Fraser, Principal at Woods Bagot, who collaborated with Third.i on their mixed-use Elevate Crows Nest project and is now partnering with them on The Rushcutters, said the site’s location and outlook shaped every element of the design, drawing on Art Deco and mid-century forms through a contemporary lens.

"The project celebrates the character of Rushcutters Bay while creating something distinctive and truly special for residents and the local area.”

The Rushcutters is the latest in Third.i Group’s portfolio of boutique Sydney residential developments, including Kurraba Residences in KURRABA POINT, Muse in Potts Point, and Casa in Neutral Bay.

“Third.i is committed to innovative brilliance and creating architecturally inspired, high-quality living environments that enhance Sydney’s urban fabric and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come,” Berry added.

Apartment prices range from $4.95 million to $17.88 million.
