The Building:
The Elizabeth Bay landmark unrestricted company title building “Greenknowe” was built in 1929 and involves a hybrid of styles, including art deco, Moorish revival, and 1920s minimalist influences. “Greenknowe” was the first fully reinforced concrete building in Sydney. Greenknowe Ave was first named in 1909. Over the past 15 years, “Greenknowe” has been extensively restored and upgraded to meet contemporary fire safety and other standards. All efforts have been made to retain period architectural influences, but at the same time meet current requirements and expectations of comfortable apartment living. “Greenknowe” is largely owner occupied with a diverse range of occupants in terms of age and occupation. “Greenknowe” provides a safe and friendly environment, and engenders a pleasant community spirit amongst residents.
