Watermark, Castle Cove designed by Marchese + Partners International Pty Ltd, located in Sydney, Australia, offers facilities within a boutique complex of just 50 independent living units.

Set around a generous courtyard, Watermark offers 17 different apartment styles of one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, plus penthouse styles in Castle Cove in Sydney’s lower north shore.
The development is located within walking distance of local shops and medical facilities and features on-site facilities, including a residents lounge dining area and bar, a cinema, gym, hairdressing salon, games room as well as a large landscaped courtyard, which contain a putting green, seating areas and a herb garden.
The extensive landscaping around the building contains walking tracks and allotment areas for the residents .
The development also incorporates an active public-private interface through the incorporation of the Castle Cove Public Library within the development, which is run by the local council.
