111 Castlereagh: Sydney’s Most Coveted New Address Is Finally Complete
Once home to Sydney's first House of Luxury, the former David Jones Menswear building has entered its next chapter as a completed collection of luxury residences. With final two- and three-bedroom homes remaining, buyers can now experience the address exactly as delivered.
We’ve partnered with Cbus Property to step inside 111 Castlereagh, the completed landmark address transforming a defining piece of Sydney retail history into private residences in the heart of the CBD.
For decades, the former David Jones Menswear building was part of Sydney’s daily rituals: Castlereagh Street shoppers moving beneath its sandstone façades, St James commuters surfacing beside Hyde Park, office workers stepping out for lunch, late tables booked a few blocks away. Now, that same address has entered a new residential chapter as 111 Castlereagh, a completed collection of luxury residences shaped by heritage, architecture and the rare privilege of living above the centre of the city.
Developed by Cbus Property and designed by fjcstudio, the landmark building has been reimagined as a boutique collection of 98 residences. Its restored sandstone base carries the memory of the former department store, while the contemporary architecture above introduces an entirely new way to live in the CBD, with elevated outlooks across Sydney and prized views towards Hyde Park.
Pitt Street Mall, Castlereagh Street boutiques, fine dining, cultural institutions and major transport connections sit within easy reach, while Hyde Park unfolds just moments from the front door. The appeal is the balance between connection and retreat: the energy of the city at your doorstep, green outlooks above the street, and privacy, service and amenity waiting upstairs.
A Sydney Landmark, Now Realised
111 Castlereagh is no longer an idea on the skyline. The building is complete, residents are arriving, and buyers can now experience the architecture, amenities and lifestyle exactly as delivered.
For buyers considering a premium city residence, the difference is immediate. Plans and renders can suggest a lifestyle; a finished building lets you feel it. The arrival sequence, the restored heritage fabric, the quality of the residences, the outlooks, the amenities and the relationship to Sydney’s CBD can now be understood in person.
Cbus Property’s transformation has also given the former department store a rare second act. Once central to the city’s retail life, it now houses a limited residential collection shaped around design, service and long-term liveability. With final two- and three-bedroom homes now remaining, 111 Castlereagh carries the weight of a Sydney landmark and the confidence of a completed address.
The Evolution of Sydney’s First House of Luxury
The sandstone base of the former David Jones Menswear building gives 111 Castlereagh its unmistakable grounding. Rather than treating heritage as ornament, fjcstudio has used it as the foundation for a carefully resolved architectural transformation.
From Castlereagh Street, the restored podium preserves the building’s connection to Sydney’s retail history before the new residential form rises above it. Glass, stone and curved lines create a contemporary silhouette, but the effect is measured. Old and new sit in conversation, giving the address a sense of permanence that feels increasingly rare in the centre of the city.
That same restraint continues inside the residences. Natural materials, considered proportions and refined detailing create homes designed for daily use, not passing trends. Stone, timber, light and custom joinery give each space a tactile quality, while open layouts support the way people live now. It is a landmark made liveable, with memory behind it and a future already underway.
The Luxury Of Living Above The City
Living at 111 Castlereagh changes the map of Sydney. Pitt Street Mall, Castlereagh Street’s luxury boutiques, Hyde Park, St James Station, galleries, restaurants and cultural institutions are all close by, turning the CBD into something practical, social and deeply personal.
For downsizers, empty nesters and established professionals, the appeal is measured in time gained back. Coffee before a meeting, lunch between appointments, a gallery visit, an afternoon of shopping or a late dinner can sit naturally within the day rather than requiring a full production. The city becomes easier to live in, not simply easier to reach.
That ease carries upstairs. Above the movement of Castlereagh Street, 111 Castlereagh has been designed with a residential world of its own. Two podium levels give residents access to landscaped gardens, open-air seating and elevated outlooks across the city, creating space for mornings, evenings and slower weekends without leaving home.
The amenities have been planned for daily use, not occasional admiration. There is an open-air pool for early laps and summer afternoons, a light-filled gym and yoga space, and a resident lounge opening onto a wraparound terrace for hosting. The Archibald Room creates a refined setting for private dining or meetings, while The Cellar provides temperature-controlled wine storage for those who like to gather well.
Concierge service smooths the practical edges of daily life, from deliveries to bookings and everyday arrangements. Even four-legged residents have been considered, with Waggington Green placing fresh air and city views into the daily walk.
The Final Residences
The final collection arrives with a rare advantage: certainty. The address is complete, the amenities are operational and the remaining residences can be fully experienced before purchase.
For those seeking a primary residence, city base or long-term investment in one of Sydney’s most tightly held CBD locations, buyers can move forward with complete confidence in what has been delivered.
111 Castlereagh is now welcoming residents. For those considering calling 111 Castlereagh home, the opportunity is clear: a legacy address reimagined as a private residence, ready to be experienced firsthand.
