Market Insights
Open-plan apartments in Barangaroo, Green Square, and Zetland command 8-12% rental premiums ($60-$100/week) versus closed-layout equivalents, driven by millennial and Gen-Z buyer preferences for communal living, entertaining, and flexible work-from-home configurations.
Modern developments (post-2018) feature 75-85% open-plan layouts with integrated kitchen islands, 2.7-3.0m ceiling heights, and 50-70sqm living zones, compared to pre-2010 layouts averaging 38-45sqm segregated rooms, reflecting shift toward European-inspired "great room" concepts.
Open-plan designs achieve 15-20% faster sales rates during presale campaigns due to perceived spaciousness, Instagram-friendly aesthetics, and alignment with contemporary lifestyle trends favoring casual dining, home offices, and multi-generational gatherings.
