Positioned at the heart of Bondi Junction, The Capitol at 253–255 Oxford Street stands as one of the suburb’s most recognisable and consistently performing residential buildings. Completed in 2016–2017 and developed by Legacy Property, this 20-level mixed-use development combines architectural presence with real-world liveability — a combination that continues to underpin both its resale strength and rental demand.
Designed by Dickson Rothschild Architects with interiors by BKH, The Capitol comprises approximately 100 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments above a vibrant retail podium, seamlessly integrated into the fabric of Oxford Street through a pedestrian through-site link.
The Capitol’s design is both distinctive and enduring. A sandstone base anchors the building within its Eastern Suburbs context, while the upper levels transition into curved glass forms that maximise light, outlook, and privacy.
Inside, the apartments are designed for long-term ownership:
This is not product built for turnover — it is designed to hold its value, and the market response reflects that.
The Capitol has established itself as a benchmark building within Bondi Junction, with a consistent pattern of sales across all apartment types.
Recent results show:
One-bedroom apartments have transacted around the $900,000 level, driven by first-home buyers and investors seeking a proven building in a central location.
Two-bedroom apartments form the core of the market, with sales typically ranging from approximately $1,460,000 to $1,720,000, averaging around $1.59 million depending on aspect, level, and parking.
Three-bedroom apartments are tightly held and rarely traded, with recent sales reaching approximately $2.7 million, reflecting both their scarcity and appeal to downsizers seeking space without compromise.
What defines The Capitol is not just the pricing — it is the consistency of outcomes. Buyers understand the building, and that confidence translates into repeatable results.
The rental performance within The Capitol mirrors its sales strength — consistent, reliable, and driven by location.
Recent leasing evidence indicates:
One-bedroom apartments typically achieve between $750 and $1,000 per week, with an average around $880 per week.
Two-bedroom apartments generally lease between $1,200 and $1,500 per week, averaging approximately $1,350 per week.
Apartments that are well presented, particularly those with parking and good aspect, continue to attract high-quality tenants and lease quickly with minimal vacancy.
The tenant profile is clear — professionals working in the CBD, corporate tenants, and long-term renters who prioritise convenience, lifestyle, and access.
