Knockdown rebuild in McMahons Point needs an honest, heritage-first approach, because this harbourside peninsula north of the Bridge has Heritage Conservation Areas covering the entire residential core — Federation cottages, sandstone terraces and apartments on tight 200 to 450m² blocks with significant harbour fall.
With the whole residential core heritage-listed, a standard knockdown is generally not the path. On a heritage cottage or terrace, a sympathetic restoration that preserves the character and the streetscape is almost always the right move, and I will give you a straight read on what your block allows.
The ground is sandstone-dominant, so engineered foundations are standard, and the harbour fall means retaining, all priced from a real geotech. The old stock can carry asbestos and lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads any demolition.
We build fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our honest feasibility before you commit.

Heritage across the whole core
McMahons Point is the harbourside peninsula north of the Harbour Bridge, with Blues Point Tower at the tip, and Heritage Conservation Areas cover the entire residential core. Federation cottages, sandstone terraces and apartments sit on tight 200 to 450m² blocks with significant harbour fall.
With the whole core heritage-listed, a standard knockdown is generally not on the table. A sympathetic restoration that preserves the character is almost always the right move, and I tell you honestly what your block allows.
Sandstone, fall and old stock
The sandstone-dominant ground means engineered foundations are standard, and the harbour fall means retaining, all priced from a real geotech. On these premium view blocks, that ground work is a real part of the budget.
The old stock can carry asbestos and lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads any demolition.
