With immediate occupancy available for summer 2025, this is your opportunity to secure a residence in a location where marina lifestyle meets architectural excellence.
The Rushcutters Bay Advantage: Sydney's Premier Marina Precinct
Rushcutters Bay has long been Sydney's worst-kept secret among waterfront enthusiasts. Home to the prestigious Rushcutters Bay Marina—the largest superyacht facility in Australia—the precinct attracts a global cohort of maritime connoisseurs, sailing champions, and waterfront lifestyle purists who recognise that location is everything.
A Marina Lifestyle Like No Other
What distinguishes Rushcutters Bay from other waterfront locations is its authentic maritime culture. This isn't a manufactured harbourfront development; it's a working marina where Olympic sailing teams train, international yacht shows unfold, and the world's finest vessels find their Australian home.
Nautique residents enjoy:
- Direct marina access with private berthing allocation options
- Uninterrupted harbour views across the full expanse of Sydney Harbour
- Proximity to yacht clubs, sailing schools, and maritime amenities
- Walking distance to foreshore parks, coastal walks, and beach access
- Immediate access to the CBD, just 3km away via Eastern Suburbs transport corridors
For waterfront enthusiasts, this represents the holy grail: a location where passion for the water can be lived daily, not just visited on weekends.
PTW Architects: Designing for Waterfront Excellence
The architectural vision behind Nautique reflects PTW Architects' deep understanding of waterfront design principles. Their portfolio includes some of Australia's most iconic harbourfront projects, and Nautique represents their most refined expression of marina living to date.
Design That Embraces the Harbour
PTW's design philosophy for Nautique centres on connection—both visual and experiential—to the water. Floor-to-ceiling glazing maximises harbour panoramas, while private terraces and balconies create outdoor living spaces that blur the boundary between interior and exterior.
Architectural Highlights:
- Floor plates oriented to capture optimal harbour views and natural light
- Premium materials palette, including natural stone, timber, and glass, that complement the marine environment
- Generous ceiling heights that enhance spatial luxury and ventilation
- Integrated balcony design providing seamless indoor-outdoor transitions
- Marina-facing terraces that bring the waterfront directly to your living space
The building's elegant form responds to its waterfront context, creating a landmark presence that enhances the marina precinct while maintaining the residential privacy that luxury buyers demand.
Immediate Occupancy: Ready for Summer 2025
Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Nautique is its completed status and immediate availability.

Investment Considerations: The Waterfront Premium
For investors, Nautique Rushcutters Bay represents a rare opportunity to secure exposure to Sydney's most tightly held waterfront market.
Scarcity Value
Sydney's harbourfront development is severely constrained by:
- Heritage and conservation restrictions limiting new construction
- Marina protection policies preserving maritime function over residential development
- Community opposition to high-density waterfront projects
- Infrastructure constraints are limiting utility capacity for new developments
This scarcity ensures that waterfront properties maintain their value premium and appreciate at rates exceeding broader market averages. Historical data indicates Rushcutters Bay waterfront apartments have achieved an annual appreciation of 6-8% compared to 3-4% for non-waterfront equivalents.
Rental Market Strength
The luxury rental market in Rushcutters Bay is exceptionally strong, driven by:
- Executive relocations seeking premium harbourfront living
- International tenants attracted to Sydney's maritime lifestyle
- Downsizers seeking temporary waterfront living while planning permanent purchases
- Corporate leases for executives and international assignees
Current rental yields for premium waterfront apartments in Rushcutters Bay range from 3.8-4.5%, with vacancy rates below 1.5%—significantly outperforming metropolitan averages.
Sustainable Luxury: Environmental Responsibility
Nautique incorporates sustainable design principles that respect the harbour environment while delivering luxury living standards:
- Rainwater harvesting for landscaping irrigation
- Solar power integration reduces common area energy consumption
- Energy-efficient glazing minimising heating and cooling requirements
- Sustainable materials selection prioritising recycled and renewable resources
- Electric vehicle charging supports sustainable transport choices
This commitment ensures that Nautique residents can enjoy waterfront luxury while contributing to harbour preservation and environmental stewardship.
The Rushcutters Bay Future: Preserving Exclusivity
Urban planning and conservation policies ensure Rushcutters Bay's character and exclusivity will be preserved, protecting values and lifestyle quality for current and future residents.
Key preservation measures include:
- Heritage listing protects the marina and foreshore character
- Height limits prevent overdevelopment
- Maritime function preservation, ensuring marina operations continue
- Public access policies maintaining harbourfront amenity
These policies create certainty for long-term owners while reinforcing scarcity premiums that drive capital appreciation.
