Looking to become the top dog in Sydney? Perhaps you have some lingering desire to reside atop one of Australiaโs Big Four banks? Youโre in luck, dear reader: Boyd Residence โ a $66 million penthouse hidden above Sydneyโs ANZ tower โ is now available to purchase.
Having received a spectacular upgrade in 2015, this โsky mansionโ was initially listed through LJ Hooker Double Bay a few years later in 2018, sending shockwaves through the headlines, and placing it in strong contention to be recognised as one of the priciest Sydney properties ever sold.
โItโs unique to have such a grand residence on top of an office skyscraper, which itself was shortlisted for a major design award in 2014,โ says Ken Jacobs of Private Property Global, listing agent.
โIt presents a new benchmark in Sydneyโฆ security and privacy are assured via a private garage and dedicated elevator access. This combination of features, enhanced by bespoke details and finishes, simply cannot be repeated.โ
โWhether itโs used as a city escape or an elegant home to entertain captains of industry, this extraordinary residence is unforgettable.โ

Formerly owned by prolific real estate developer John Boyd โ who created the monolith in question as part of a contract back in 2009 โ this 2,000-square-metre complex is obviously the only residential area available in the entire tower, providing everything from an epic private garage to sort out the usual parking issues endemic to city living, private lift, resort-style rooftop pool with two terraces + cabana lounge, as well as a plethora of specifically commissioned โ not to mention tasteful โ art deco furniture.
โAn ambitious work of pure genius, this incomparable residence is the crowning glory of the internationally awarded ANZ Tower in Sydneyโs CBD,โ reads the official description.
โHaving a gross floor area of approximately 2,400-square metres over three levels that bask in magnificent harbour and city views, it was named the worldโs finest residence at the International Design & Architecture Awards 2017.โ
โOne of the worldโs great trophy homesโฆ the ANZ Tower Penthouse has no equal, making it an address of true international appeal.โ
The ANZ penthouse also features four lavish bedrooms suites each with a marble bathroom, grand entertaining spaces framed by soaring double-height ceilings as well as โdramatic walls of glassโ, conference room, club-like study, gymnasium, panelled cigar room (which can double as a dining spot), and of course, 24-hour security + privacy.
