In 2002, The Sunday Telegraph supplement homeowner published a feature article on the redevelopment of Sydney wharves into apartment complexes.
At the time, the finger wharf at Woolloomooloo had already been redeveloped into "The Wharf", while at Walsh Bay, the former piers were in the process of redevelopment. Darling Island, once a wharf itself, was also in the process of undergoing redevelopment.
The Walsh Bay redevelopment would be completed in stages from 2003, while Darling Island would be completed in 2004.
A key selling point for apartments in those projects was "absolute waterfront", though that term can be applied to any home that adjoins the water, i.e. you can step from your property onto the water. Many harbourside homes can boast about absolute waterfront.
