Bridgehill residences create new concepts of living

Bridgehill, one of the first Chinese property developers to spot the opportunity in Sydney's booming apartment market, has a successful track record in Australia in terms of quality apartment developments, according to The Australian Financial Review. 

In four and a half years, the group has collected around A$700 million (HK$4 billion) from the market and has accumulated 1,800 apartment lots for land banking. It has also developed the capacity to deliver 500 fully furnished premium apartment units annually, eyeing millions of square metres of town development in New South Wales. 

Such developments have made Bridgehill one of the largest and fastest-growing property developers in Australia. Its projects include the premium apartment complex Bridgehill Residences and Esprit Mascot apartments, which feature out-of-the-box architectural design concepts. 

Architect Xu Yibin, the group's managing director, always dreamed of creating a landmark building overlooking Sydney Harbour. When he finally got the chance, he worked with architects SJB to build Bridgehill Residences on the prestigious Milsons Point peninsula. 

"We wanted to create one of the best projects over there," Xu says. "We aspired to build something fresh and beautiful." 

Milsons Point is the high-end apartment development Xu had in mind. With end-to-end glass walling, each unit offers a wrap-around view of the world's largest natural harbour. To the south, residents enjoy a breathtaking view of the iconic Sydney Opera House. 

The building stands on a peninsula, so there is water everywhere one looks. Virtually all glass, one may stoop over the clear walls on the way to the kitchen to check out yachts darting here and there on the gleaming water below. The units can be as big as a penthouse with three bedrooms, furnished with large bathrooms, top-of-the-line kitchen equipment and polished natural wooden floors.
