Today, his grandson Nick is taking Toohey Miller’s legacy into the future, delivering residential
and commercial developments that embody architectural excellence. Focusing on Sydney’s most exceptional lifestyle neighbourhoods, he curates the ideal designers, consultants and architects to reimagine the potential of the built and natural environment. No.1 Onslow Place is Toohey Miller’s flagship project for the inner east, and will be a local landmark for generations to come.
