A heritage waterfront story with a working marina at its centre
Putney Wharf is anchored by one of Australia’s most respected names in boatbuilding, Halvorsen. Lars Halvorsen arrived in Australia in 1924 and, with his sons, established a business that began at Drummoyne before expanding to Neutral Bay and Ryde, building 1,299 craft over the decades and earning a reputation for quality and style.

During World War II, Halvorsen shipyards played a pivotal role in Australia’s war effort, before the brand went on to shape leisure boating for generations through post-war hire fleets and cruisers that helped make boating more accessible and culturally iconic in NSW.
That legacy is why Putney Wharf does not try to “create” authenticity. It already exists. The former Halvorsen’s Boatshed is being carefully restored and reinterpreted as The Halvorsen’s, preserving the site’s maritime character while delivering oversized harbourfront homes within a true waterfront precinct.
The story continues on the water. A brand new 36-berth marina for vessels up to 20m brings the site full circle, keeping boating central to daily life and responding directly to Sydney’s ongoing berth shortage with modern, standards-led infrastructure.
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:
