Archibald is one of the most distinctive residential towers in Bondi Junction. It holds 82 apartments across 18 levels, with four levels of basement parking and a landscaped terrace for residents. It is recognisable, and it is tightly held.

The design

The tower has five sides. That is not a flourish. The shape was worked out to bring in light, protect privacy and open the outlook. Apartments look to the city skyline, the harbour and across the Eastern Suburbs.

In a suburb that is filling with towers, Archibald stands apart on three counts: a clear design identity, strong appeal to owner-occupiers, and a steady rental record.

How the building trades

Do not measure every apartment here the same way. Floor, outlook, layout, parking and finish all move the price. The higher floors with the stronger views take a clear premium. The lower floors still carry the building's name and its location.

Where each apartment type has traded

One bedroom$960,000 to $1.1m
Two bedroom$1.9m to $2.2215m
Three bedroom · earlier recorded sale$3.525m
$800,000$2.2m$3.6m
Apartment 1402, sold August 2026One-bedroom average, about $1.03m
Approximate ranges. The two-bedroom average is about $2,062,000. This year's recorded three-bedroom sale, at $6,625,000, is off the scale of this chart.

One bedroom. A consistent segment, supported by investors, professionals and buyers who want a way into one of the better-regarded towers in the Junction.

Two bedroom. The most active part of the building, and the part that anchors its value. Demand runs deep for the better floorplans, the higher outlooks, secure parking and good presentation. It resells readily, because the buyer pool is wide — professionals, investors, downsizers and couples who want space without a house to maintain.

Three bedroom. Exceptionally tightly held. Downsizers and long-term owner-occupiers want house-like space with security and a view, and there is very little of it. Scarcity sets the price.

This year's sales

Two residential sales in the building carry 2026 dates. They could hardly be further apart.

23 April 2026 · Level 17$6,625,000Apartment 1701
3 bed · 2 bath · 2 carAs recorded. Close to double the earlier three-bedroom sale of $3,525,000.
7 August 2026 · Level 14$2,050,000Apartment 1402
2 bed · 2 bath · 1 car$2,470,940 in 2017. Down 17 per cent.

The top of the building. Apartment 1701, on level 17 with two car spaces, is recorded at $6,625,000. If that figure stands, it is the highest apartment price I have seen recorded in Bondi Junction this year by a wide margin. It shows what the scarcest stock in the suburb can do.

The middle of the building. Apartment 1402 sold for $2,050,000. That is almost exactly the two-bedroom average. The market paid the going price, on a high floor. But the seller bought in 2017 for $2,470,940. The result was $420,940 less, before stamp duty and selling costs.

The market paid the building's price. It did not pay the 2017 contract.

That is the lesson of the newer towers across the Junction, and Archibald is not exempt from it. The two-bedroom range is stable. It is simply lower than some early buyers paid. The apartments that have run ahead are the ones nobody can easily find another of.

The rent

Archibald is a strong rental building. Over the past 24 months the income has been reliable, tenant demand firm and vacancy low across every apartment type. The tenants are professionals working in the CBD, the Junction and the wider Eastern Suburbs.

One bedroom$820 to $1,100A week. Average about $910.
Two bedroom$1,250 to $1,600A week. Average about $1,427. The most in-demand category.
Three bedroomAbout $2,200A week. Rarely offered.

The two-bedroom apartments lease fastest. They suit couples, executives, small families and professional sharers. On average rent against average price, the gross return is about 4.6 per cent for a one-bedroom and about 3.6 per cent for a two-bedroom, before levies, rates and vacancy.

Why Archibald performs

  1. Identity. Many towers feel alike. This one does not.
  2. Liveability. Light, outlook, privacy and layouts that work. Buyers and tenants in the Junction are getting choosier, and these things decide it.
  3. Location. Westfield, the interchange, cafés, medical services, Centennial Park and Bondi Beach are all close. That is hard to replace.
  4. Scarcity. Three-bedroom apartments rarely come up. Well-placed two-bedroom apartments draw competition when they do.

My view

Archibald is one of the important modern buildings in Bondi Junction, because it works in both the sales market and the rental market. Investors get a steady income. Owner-occupiers get design, convenience and a sense of permanence. Downsizers get scale and security.

The key is the difference inside the building. A high apartment with a view sits in a different price category from a lower one with a limited outlook. And an owner who bought early may be measuring against a price the market no longer pays.

That is why strategy matters here. The building has identity, liquidity and long-term appeal. What it does not have is one price.
