33/82 King Street, Perth, WA, 6000, Australia

Occupying the entire top floor of the iconic Wills Building, this alluring Manhattan-style penthouse evokes the chic, cosmopolitan appeal of urban New York living in the heart of Perth’s historic King Street precinct.

Grand in design, its sweeping floorplan covers 534sqm of bespoke luxury plus 2 car bays/ total 548 sqm, inclusive of its own marble-clad entrance-foyer & lift, independent ensuite bedrooms and a light-filled expanse of open-plan living framed by an original Arc feature window and unobstructed views over an eclectic city landscape.

Steeped in a history marked by the Perth rag-trade, the original G & R Wills Building was built in 1924 with upper floors added in 1950 where it continued as a multi-level warehouse for a clothing wholesaler servicing the King Street community.

Under the appointment of Scanlan Architects, the building was expanded in 2003 when two adjoining vacant warehouse buildings were integrated into the development and remodelled again to include 33 luxury, Soho-inspired, loft-style apartments.

The stunning ground level entrance features a rich gothic aesthetic of dramatic arches, cathedral-style wrought-iron windows, herringbone floors and exposed brickwork, while a gallery of artworks by some of Perth’s most prolific artists, in addition to a restored (and original) New York-style service lift, set the scene for the reveal to come.

Expanses of rich shea oak floors and Italian marble offset cherrywood cabinetry and reams of natural light from generous windows – each intended to optimise the glorious upper-floor aspect.

Intended to honour independent living with a supreme sense of privacy, this custom-designed dwelling is built around a central lobby – anchored by a circular shadow-line ceiling dome – which brings the lavish bedrooms and a full floor devoted to living, kitchen and dining, together.

The grand master suite is an independent wing all its own. Boasting a gym/yoga room (or optional bedroom if desired), it features a private balcony with King Street views, huge walk-in-robe and a vast twin vanity ensuite with spa, heated ceiling lamps, and a continuation of marble bench tops & cherrywood cabinetry.

While all secondary bedrooms include ensuite bathrooms and built-in-robes, one includes an integrated retreat or study zone along with a spa bath and private access to the foyer lounge – also shared by the bedroom opposite.

Two solid pillars and ceiling-to-floor glass offset the living, kitchen, and dining where a gas wood fire, sunny balcony and built-in cabinetry integrate with the designer kitchen with subtle step elevation. Appointed in Miele appliances (induction stove, steamer, conventional oven, microwave, and grill) and an oversized stone waterfall-edged island bench, this practical entertaining hub includes an integrated wine fridge, two walk-in pantries and abundant timber and glass-inlaid cabinetry.

Other features include recess lighting throughout, 2 allocated car bays, considered storage & a linen press, powder-room, discreet laundry (off the foyer), Video Intercom, Reverse cycle split system air-conditioning and sound-proof music room.

The building shares its coveted address with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, Mui Mui and Chanel, not to mention Perth Arena and some of Perth’s most esteemed fine-dining restaurants, wine bars and hotels, all within strolling distance.


With its potential to accommodate up to 10 people comfortably, this unique residence is not only an exceptionally rare asset for inner-city living, but offers excellent short-stay rental income (potential earnings of over $200K as a complete residence/52 weeks of the year), in one of the most sought-after locations which could equally appeal to visiting artists, influential businesspeople or international celebrities opting for a home-away-from-home experience as opposed to a hotel.
