Abadeen Celebrates Completion of KOYO in Leafy Crows Nest — A Boutique Development Designed for Low-Maintenance Luxury Living

Spectacular Penthouse Now on the Market

Leading Sydney-based property developer Abadeen has officially marked the completion of its $85 million KOYO residential development, positioned in a quiet, tree-lined pocket of Crows Nest on Sydney’s Lower North Shore.

Meaning ‘in celebration of autumn leaves’, KOYO — designed by Koichi Takada Architects — delivers a boutique offering ideal for downsizers, families and professionals looking for a high-quality residence with strong connectivity to lifestyle and transport amenities.

Comprising 27 generously proportioned apartments, KOYO features a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, along with a statement 495sqm penthouse occupying the entire top floor and adjoining a landscaped rooftop garden with sweeping treetop vistas.

Brendan Kennedy of SRM Residential, who has worked across the Lower North Shore for more than two decades, said buyer interest among downsizers has been exceptionally strong.

“This is one of the highest-quality finishes I’ve seen in recent years. Downsizers are drawn to KOYO because it allows them to stay local in a premium home with minimal upkeep and excellent access to village life.”

Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, Justin Brown, added: “We’re incredibly proud of how KOYO has come together. From the architectural design to the detailing in each apartment, the finished product has resonated strongly with our buyers. It’s been especially rewarding to see interest from local families and downsizers who value quality, space and connection to the Lower North Shore lifestyle.”

Each residence features high-quality materials such as marble benchtops and splashbacks, brushed platinum tapware, and timber laminate panelling. Engineered timber floors and pure wool carpets complement the light-filled interiors.

KOYO’s architecture blends organic forms and soft tones to create a calm and timeless atmosphere. Brown credits Koichi Takada Architects for bringing this vision to life:

“Koichi Takada’s work balances form and feeling. His use of warm textures and natural elements creates spaces that feel not just luxurious, but grounded and welcoming.”

Richard Storey, Director at Koichi Takada Architects, explained:

“The integration of greenery throughout the building is about more than just aesthetics. It brings a sense of calm and wellbeing, helping residents reconnect with nature and enjoy a peaceful retreat in the middle of the city.”

Commenting on the signature penthouse residence, Matthew Smythe, Principal of Belle Property Neutral Bay, said:

“The penthouse at KOYO is one of the finest on the market. With expansive indoor-outdoor living, sweeping views, and hand-selected finishes, it’s a residence that redefines apartment living in Crows Nest.”

Sustainability is embedded in KOYO’s design, with LED lighting, solar panels, cross-ventilation, and high-performing glazing to reduce environmental impact and promote natural comfort.

Connection is a core theme of KOYO — from the seamless indoor-outdoor design to the shared rooftop spaces created to bring residents together.

“We deliberately designed communal areas, like the rooftop BBQ and dining area, to foster a sense of community,” Storey said. “There’s a real village feel here.”

That feeling extends into the surrounding suburb. With a newly opened Metro Station and ongoing government investment into public space and infrastructure, Crows Nest is undergoing a transformation. Its renowned cafes, boutique shopping and walkable streets make it a highly desirable suburb.

“KOYO’s location offers the best of both worlds — quiet, leafy living with unmatched connectivity to the city and surrounding lifestyle precincts,” Brown said.

Only a handful of two- and three-bedroom residences remain for sale, priced from $2.95 million.
