With uninterrupted views of Sydney Harbour, this residence in the Crown Sydney building is the city's premier address.
There are luxury residences and then there is 81.01/1A Barangaroo Avenue. This world class penthouse with 360 degrees of Sydney Harbour offers an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy the best the Emerald City has to offer without compromising on space or amenity.
Set across two full floors and spanning over 800sqm, this lavish residence on offer through Black Diamondz enjoys uninterrupted views of the harbour across to Darling Harbour and the Blue Mountains to the west, and the glittering Pacific Ocean to the east.
Perched 245 metres above sea level and a mere 30 metres from the harbour’s edge, this sumptuous residence offers exceptional connectivity to the best Sydney has to offer with abundant living space indoors and out.
Unsurpassed Amenities
The floorplan includes five light-filled bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms, as well as a lavish master suite complete with walk-in robes, twin rain shower, and steam room that gives new meaning to the word ‘indulgence’. The penthouse offers multiple generous living spaces as well as a spacious home office with commanding views of the harbour. Health and leisure features include a private plunge pool, cinema room, and gym. There is also more than 50sqm of outdoor living space spread across three protected balconies, connected by a feature staircase and a private internal lift that opens to a galleried second floor.
Architectural and Design Marvel
Designed by award-winning architect WilkinsonEyre, Crown Sydney’s striking sculptural form means each residence is unique in size and layout. Inside the penthouse, Meyer Davis Studio Interiors has crafted an interior space that is nothing short of jaw dropping in a quietly sophisticated neutral palette with detailed, bespoke joinery, herringbone flooring and stylish floor-to-ceiling drapery. Six metre-high floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light while offering panoramic vistas that are nothing short of sublime.
Full Access to Hotel Luxuries
What truly sets this penthouse apart is its full integration with the Crown Sydney hotel below. Residents enjoy complete access to hotel services, including a 24-hour concierge, valet parking, housekeeping, and in-room dining services from Crown’s esteemed chefs. Additionally, residents have exclusive access to two pools, a state-of-the-art gym, a six-star day spa, and a tennis court.

As global demand for longevity treatments surges, Australia is fast becoming a player in this lucrative industry.

There was a time — not so long ago — when the idea of an indulgent spa day was simply about relaxing massages and therapeutic facials, followed by a five-star lunch and perhaps a dip in a mineral pool. But the health and wellness industry has evolved rapidly, bringing with it an explosion of cutting-edge treatments designed to slow ageing, boost vitality, and extend healthspan.
Cold-water plunge pools, infrared saunas, and float tanks have taken over as the staples of health spas, wellness centres, and high-end gyms. Even real estate developments are tapping into this trend. But now, high-tech longevity treatments — from cryotherapy and IV infusions to genetic testing and advanced cellular therapies — are taking the wellness scene in Australia to unprecedented levels.
A burgeoning market globally, the health and wellness industry is estimated to have been worth more than US$5.6 trillion in 2022. Projections suggest this figure will grow to a staggering $13 trillion by 2031, with Australia steadily catching up to the US and Europe, where longevity treatments are thriving. High-profile figures like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Chris Hemsworth, and even Tom Brady are among the faces championing biohacking and experimental therapies, from stem cell infusions to blood transfusions.
The Rise of Longevity Clinics in Australia
One of the key players in Australia’s emerging longevity scene is Tristan Sternson, founder of Super Young. Sternson’s foray into the world of longevity treatments began as he approached 40 — a milestone that made him reflect on his health. As a former elite athlete, the transition from feeling invincible to feeling vulnerable led him to explore solutions that would help him reclaim vitality.
Initially frustrated by the lack of accessible health data locally, Sternson turned to overseas clinics for tests and treatments that painted a clearer picture of his biological needs. His experience inspired him to create Super Young, a Melbourne-based clinic offering evidence-based therapies tailored to individual needs. Services include cryotherapy, IV infusions, genetic testing, and biological age assessments. Memberships range from $85–$289 per week, while one-off tests start at $899.
Sternson emphasises the importance of personalised treatments. “I want people to start with the evidence side of it so they can really understand their own body and what treatments will work for them,” he says.
The Science of Longevity Medicine
Dr Karen Coates, an integrative medical doctor and a presenter for The Longevity Project at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat, echoes Sternson’s emphasis on personalisation. She explains that longevity isn’t just about living longer but about living better — optimising health today while securing vitality for the future.
“One-size-fits-all approaches don’t apply when it comes to longevity,” says Dr Coates. “It’s about understanding your body’s genetic makeup and adopting personalised strategies to support health and longevity.”
At Gwinganna’s four-night Longevity Project retreat, guests can undergo gene testing, biological age assessments, and learn strategies to bridge the gap between chronological and biological age. Packages for the retreat range from $2915 to $5460.
Biohacking for All Budgets
Not all longevity treatments come with hefty price tags. Health coach Camilla Thompson points out that simple lifestyle adjustments — like cold showers to stimulate circulation or adding Celtic sea salt to water for better hydration — can supplement advanced therapies.
While advanced treatments like stem cell and peptide therapies are yet to gain widespread regulatory approval in Australia, Sternson is optimistic about their future. He envisions a time when longevity centres will be as common as gyms, giving clients the tools to monitor and manage their health with precision.
“What I’d love to see is health insurance companies get on board,” Sternson adds. “If they can give discounts for safe driving based on car data, why not for healthy habits based on glucose monitoring or other health indicators?”
As Australia continues to embrace longevity medicine, it’s clear the industry is poised to reshape not just health and wellness but how Australians approach ageing itself.
