The Argyle Residence
311 Wharf Road, Newcastle NSW
Prime CBD Development Opportunity – DA Approved, Ready to Build
Rarely does a landholding like this come to market. Positioned in the heart of Newcastle's CBD, this generous 1,000sqm block offers an exceptional opportunity for astute buyers, builders and developers alike. When built, this will be the only freestanding residence in Newcastle CBD.
The site combines the irreplaceable character and history of a State Heritage-listed Newcastle landmark with contemporary development and an approved development pathway.
Unlike a conventional development site, its history cannot be recreated. The opportunity is not simply to construct another building, but to create a residential address around an asset that has already formed part of Newcastle for generations.
For a developer, builder or private investor seeking a landmark Newcastle project, that distinction may ultimately be Argyle Residence's greatest value.
Perhaps most significantly for Newcastle, the adaptive reuse of Parnell House in Newcastle East has already produced an $11 million penthouse sale. Argyle Residence presents the next opportunity in this evolution.
Just moments from the Harbour, the beaches and the vibrant café strip of Darby Street, this address places future residents at the centre of everything Newcastle has to offer — lifestyle, convenience and long-term capital growth in one of the region's most tightly held pockets.
With Development Approval already secured, the groundwork is done. The approved plans showcase a striking 5-bedroom luxury residence, thoughtfully designed with:
-
Separate bedroom wings for privacy and family flexibility
-
Expansive open-plan kitchen, living and dining zones built for entertaining
-
A private pool, gym and sauna for year-round relaxation
-
Secure off-street parking
This is a turnkey opportunity to fast-track a premium build in a blue-chip location — no lengthy approval process, no uncertainty. Just a rare chance to create a landmark home (or standout project) in one of Newcastle's most sought-after addresses.
Enquire today — opportunities of this calibre in the CBD don't last long.
