Paws-Up for Sydney's New Pet-Friendly Apartments on the Upper North Shore

Capital Corporation

The Residences at Wahroonga Estate are setting a new benchmark in modern, pet-friendly living with the first free dedicated dog wash bay available within a luxury apartment development on the north shore.

Australia boasts one of the highest pet ownership rates in the world with around 69 per cent of households owning pets, and dogs (48 per cent) being the most popular pet-residents. It is evident that dog-friendly amenities are no longer a luxury but a necessity.[1]

The Residences at Wahroonga Estate has been thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of pet owners and their furry companions. Its onsite dog wash unit is a safe and secure way to wash four-legged friends offering pet owners a convenient and practical way to care for their pooch.

Australians looking for the perfect playground to exercise their canine companion will be spoilt for choice with The Residences at Wahroonga Estate's easy access to the adjacent natural Coups Creek bushland and plenty of other parks, green spaces and walking tracks just a stone's throw away.

Capital Corporation Director Jim Hunter said The Residences at Wahroonga Estate had proved to be extremely popular with pet-owners, particularly downsizers looking to relocate to a luxury apartment with generous gardens, easy access to tranquil bushland and in-ground amenities for dogs.

“Our new pet-friendly development supports the notion that modern Australian households recognise dogs and cats as integral members of the family. The development's large private landscaped areas set next to 25 ha of serene natural bushland offer pet owners the space, comfort and convenience they might have been accustomed to in a large home.”

New rental reforms are scheduled came into place in early 2025 making it easier for renters to have pets in their home. The Residences at Wahroonga Estate offers potential investors with an attractive rental property which will appeal to dog-owners on the Upper North Shore.

The Residences at Wahroonga Estate is set to open in 2027 and will offer 128 one, two and three-bedroom luxury, pet-friendly apartments offer a relaxing and rejuvenating way of life.
