Sydney’s skyline has a new architectural icon — The Walden — a 30-storey masterpiece redefining luxury apartment living in North Sydney. Developed by ALAND, this landmark project captures the essence of modern coastal sophistication, offering residents breathtaking views that stretch across Sydney Harbour to the Pacific Ocean.
A Vision of Elevated Design
For ALAND founder Andrew Hrsto, The Walden represents a vision brought to life.
“This is a landmark project for North Sydney, capitalising on unobstructed views of Sydney Harbour,” Hrsto explains. “Through The Walden’s architecture, interiors and landscaping working together, we are paying homage to this iconic outlook and creating an elevated way of life.”
Crafted by leading architects at Rothelowman, The Walden blends form and function seamlessly. From the building’s sleek silhouette to the thoughtfully designed interiors, every element has been shaped with intention — offering a refined, effortless lifestyle for residents.
Luxurious Living, Crafted for Comfort
Many future residents are expected to be empty-nesters transitioning from large family homes, drawn by the generous apartment layouts and high-end finishes that rival standalone houses.
The interiors feature natural Calacatta marble, expansive storage, and custom cabinetry throughout. Select apartments include sculleries and butler’s pantries, adding a practical touch to the sophisticated design.
“We want to create an environment that is crafted yet effortless, so that daily life carries a sense of beauty and ease,” says Jun Chang, Senior Associate at Rothelowman. “Each design decision contributes to an environment that feels both practical and quietly elevated, ensuring residents experience design not just as architecture, but as lived luxury.”
Architecture Meets Nature
Beyond aesthetics, The Walden’s design embraces the natural surroundings. Each residence benefits from cross-ventilation, inviting in Sydney’s harbour breezes. Balconies have been ingeniously designed as winter gardens, allowing residents to enjoy flexible indoor-outdoor living year-round.
“We know that people may be concerned about outdoor space being windy in taller buildings,” Hrsto explains. “The option to close the balcony off as an indoor area or open the windows up gives them the best of both worlds.”
Personalised Style Choices
Buyers purchasing off-the-plan can choose from three timeless interior colour palettes — Terrace, Opera, and Harbour — each inspired by Sydney’s natural and cultural landscape.
-
Terrace – a light and classic palette that feels bright and timeless.
-
Opera – warm with rich undertones for a sense of opulence.
-
Harbour – a bolder, ocean-inspired scheme with refreshing tones.
Each edition showcases Australian craftsmanship, including bespoke light fittings by Studio Henry Lawson.

A state-of-the-art gym, complete with ice bath and sauna

A New Standard for North Sydney
With its thoughtful architecture, bespoke interiors, and unrivalled amenity offering, The Walden is not just another apartment development — it’s a new benchmark for contemporary urban living in Sydney.
For those seeking to downsize without compromise, or simply embrace a higher level of design-led comfort, The Walden promises a truly elevated way of life.
