Verona, Paddington

For almost three decades, The Verona was part of the fabric of Paddington. More than a cinema, it was a place for film, culture and community, becoming a familiar part of the neighbourhood and the memories of those who spent time there.

Now, this much-loved landmark is being renewed for its next era, while preserving the role it has long played in Paddington. Almost 30 years after designing the original Palace Verona cinema, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects return to the building, with the cinema returning alongside new dining, retail and the ultimate private residences.

Offering one, two and three bedroom residences, The Verona features interiors by Richards Stanisich, an iconic name in Eastern Suburbs design. Drawing on Paddington’s distinctive character, each home takes a bold, design-led approach, with statement details, expressive materials and a choice of two distinct interior schemes.

At rooftop level, residents will have access to a 17-metre swimming pool with views across Sydney’s skyline, and residences capture the city, Paddington terrace rooftops and the harbour.

Key features include:

Architecture by Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, with Tim Greer returning to The Verona almost 30 years after he designed the original Palace Verona cinema.
Two interior schemes featuring natural timber, stone, terracotta and tactile finishes
Expansive kitchen island benches, with separate sculleries to larger residences
Wolf ovens and cooktops, with Sub-Zero refrigeration and wine storage to selected residences
17-metre residents’ rooftop swimming pool with views of Sydney City and Harbour
Boutique cinema operation on the basement level, complemented by a carefully selected dining offering on the ground floor.
A walkable Paddington location surrounded by restaurants, cafés, boutiques, parks and cultural destinations

The Verona returns to Paddington. A landmark remembered, and a new place to call home.
