Actor Sophia Forrest, the daughter of mining magnates Andrew and Nicole Forrest, has officially listed her elegant penthouse in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Waterloo. Known for her roles in Australian films and TV shows, Forrest moved from Perth to Sydney in 2018, purchasing the luxurious residence two years later.
She initially bought the sophisticated split-level penthouse for $1.8 million in 2020. The property became home to her and now-wife, fellow actor Zara Zoe, marking a new chapter in their lives. The designer apartment, perched atop Warehouse 5 on Phillip Street, spans a total of 183 square metres.
The spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom home features architectural styling across multiple levels, offering both functionality and flair. This penthouse is one of 127 apartments across five buildings in a thoughtfully designed development surrounded by lush parklands and a communal pool.
Sales for the property are being handled by Belle Property agents Blair Cardile and James Perlowski, with the listing being managed off-market. It’s an exclusive opportunity for buyers seeking inner-city luxury with privacy.
While the penthouse comes with $5,000 quarterly strata levies, the amenities and prime location provide significant value. The original sale price for the property was $755,000 back in 2003, a testament to Waterloo’s evolving property market.
Waterloo has experienced a steady uptick in property values. Proptrack data shows that the median price for a three-bedroom apartment in the area has risen to $1.4 million, increasing by 3.9% annually. When Forrest purchased the penthouse in 2020, the median price stood at $1.43 million.
With its contemporary urban design, open-plan interiors, and vibrant neighborhood setting, this listing is more than just real estate—it’s an entry into elite Sydney living. The apartment’s striking features and proximity to cafes, shops, and transport make it a rare opportunity for luxury property buyers.
