Set among some of the harbour's most sought-after pockets, the location is surrounded by Sydney icons including the Harbour Bridge, while also offering easy access to local pubs, cafés and excellent transport connections.

It's a combination that appeals to a broad mix of buyers, from owner-occupiers to investors, who want the convenience of the Metro, quality restaurants, schools and green spaces, without compromising on lifestyle.

Now under construction, The Walden at 177 Walker Street is set to become a premium residential address for buyers looking to secure a home in one of North Sydney's most desirable precincts.

According to ALAND Founder and CEO Andrew Hrsto, the location is exceptional, with sweeping harbour views from many residences and select apartments offering glimpses of the Heads, the Sydney skyline, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

He says the building has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its remarkable setting.

"The architecture is distinctive, with a highly articulated façade that sets it apart from the conventional square towers found throughout North Sydney," he says.
Inside The Walden's spacious apartments redefining luxury in the sky

With more apartments coming to North Sydney, The Walden stands apart through its generous floorplans, thoughtful design and genuine choice for buyers.

Offering one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, every apartment has been designed with space and liveability at its core.

"The variety means there's something to suit every stage of life," says Mr Hrsto.

"We've created larger residences for families and well-considered homes for downsizers, but regardless of size, every apartment delivers the same level of quality and generous inclusions. There's no compromise."

Many of the larger residences occupy premium corner positions, allowing for sweeping outlooks, abundant natural light and excellent cross-ventilation.

"Those corner apartments really maximise the views while creating a more comfortable living environment," Mr Hrsto explains.

Better still, those views are protected from future development, giving residents the confidence that the iconic North Sydney outlook will remain a defining feature of their home for years to come.

Inside, the interiors have been carefully crafted around the idea of creating an oasis of calm.

According to Mr Hrsto, ALAND's signature attention to detail, natural material palette and warm, layered finishes come together to create homes that feel both sophisticated and welcoming.

Importantly, the design isn't just about aesthetics.

Every residence has been planned to support the way people live today, with spacious entertainer's kitchens, clever storage solutions and intuitive layouts that balance style with everyday functionality.

Wellness, concierge and views: What buyers are looking for in 2026

For many apartment buyers today, wellness-focused amenities are no longer considered a nice-to-have. Whether they're busy professionals or downsizers, buyers are increasingly looking for homes that support a healthier, more convenient lifestyle.

ALAND has embraced this shift by delivering thoughtfully curated amenities that prioritise health and wellbeing while reflecting what premium buyers genuinely value.

A standout example is The Walden's multi-level Pavilion, featuring a resort-style pool, wellness studio, gym, sauna, private dining room, residents' lounge and wine cellar.

Designed with a hotel-inspired approach, these exclusive spaces extend the living experience beyond the apartment, offering residents everyday convenience and luxury.

ALAND brings proven expertise in creating premium hospitality experiences, having partnered with IHG Hotels & Resorts to deliver voco Gosford, the upscale lifestyle hotel within its landmark mixed-use Archibald precinct.

Residents also benefit from a dedicated concierge service, with ALAND providing a complimentary 12-month membership so buyers can enjoy the service from the moment they move in.

"ALAND will cover the cost of the concierge service for the first 12 months following the issue of the Occupation Certificate (OC)," Mr Hrsto says.

The concierge offering goes well beyond greeting visitors and managing deliveries. Residents can arrange wellness treatments, book private chefs to cater dinners in The Pavilion, or access a range of personalised lifestyle services designed to make everyday living that little bit easier.

Why North Sydney is becoming a place to live, not just a place to work

North Sydney has long been known as one of Sydney's busiest business districts, but it's quickly becoming a sought-after place to call home. While its thriving CBD continues to attract professionals, it's the area's improved connectivity that's fuelling its residential transformation.

"The Metro has been a real game changer," Mr Hrsto says.

"With the Metro now up and running, residents can be in the Sydney CBD or Barangaroo within minutes, adding to the great dining, employment and education opportunities already on offer in North Sydney."

Beyond the convenience, North Sydney offers a genuine harbourside lifestyle, with waterfront parks, scenic walking tracks and bustling weekend markets all within easy reach.

Interest in The Walden continues to build, with construction well underway and completion expected in early 2028.

For buyers, that means the opportunity to watch their future home take shape, while Mr Hrsto says the newly refreshed display suite is now open for anyone wanting to experience what life at The Walden has to offer.
