Putney Wharf: In Conversation with Justin Brown and Fabrizio Perilli

For Abadeen and PERIFA, Putney Wharf represents more than a residential development. It is the culmination of decades of experience, shaped by a shared belief that authentic waterfront living must be grounded in access, heritage and long-term value.

Justin Brown, Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, describes Putney Wharf as a project that brings together the lessons of more than 30 years of development. “Putney Wharf is going to be the culmination of so many of our developments and learnings over those 30 years,” he says. “We think this is a legacy for Sydney, and we’re proud to be a part of it.”

The site’s maritime history played a defining role in shaping the masterplan. “When we first saw the site, we just saw the potential,” Brown explains. “It was a place where we could respect the history and create modern residences around it. It was the beginning of Halvorsen in Australia, with the beautiful wooden boats that we all know so romantically.”

That connection between past and present extends directly to the marina. With Sydney experiencing a long-standing shortage of quality marina berths, particularly for vessels over 12 metres, the decision to deliver a brand new 36-berth marina accommodating boats from 12 metres to 20 metres was deliberate and market-driven.

PERIFA Managing Director and Co-Founder Fabrizio Perilli sees the marina as central to the lifestyle offering. “Putney Wharf is truly providing a home for people who love the harbourfront lifestyle that Sydney has to offer,” he says. “Whether people live in The Halvorsen’s apartments, the Waterview Terraces or The Residences, we are creating homes that suit a broad population.”

Perilli notes that the strength of the precinct lies in how its elements work together.

“When you combine the marina berths, hospitality venues and the site’s unique heritage, we are creating something really special that will add lasting value to the Putney community.”

Set on the sheltered waters of the Parramatta River, the marina has been designed to modern Australian Standards, offering owners confidence in access, safety and durability. Its integration into the broader precinct allows residents and berth holders to move seamlessly between home, water and foreshore amenities, reinforcing Putney Wharf as a practical and liveable marina destination rather than a purely visual waterfront address.

Born from a shared vision to create something truly unique, Putney Wharf is a one-of-a-kind residential collection featuring a diverse trio of meticulously crafted homes, including luxury terraces, expansive apartments and heritage-inspired harbourfront residences. Its components include:
